Invitation to participate in the Invent for the Planet 2024 Competition

We invite you to participate in the 48-hour Intensive Design Experience (IDE) which engages students at different universities around the world on a single weekend to solve high-impact, global problems. Invent for the Planet is based on the highly successful program at Texas A&M University, called Aggies Invent.

Invent for the Planet is held in multiple locations across the globe simultaneously. Each group starts at 4:00 p.m. local time on Friday, the first day of the competition. New groups will join the race to innovation as time travels across the world. Student teams work on provided design challenges in local teams and will be encouraged to connect with teams across the globe as they come online.

Invitation to participate in the 8th CASS Student Design Competition

The IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) invites you to participate in the 8th CASS Student Design Competition. The CASS Student Design Competition is a worldwide competition where undergraduate students will suggest and execute projects on electrical engineering and related areas. The focus should be on finding a solution to a real-life problem based on circuits and systems.

The competition will take place in three phases: the first at the chapter level, the second at the regional level, and the final at the world level. The final will take place during the 2024 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS 2024) in Singapore.

CASS will reimburse the travel costs for the trip to ISCAS 2024 for the four finalists, one for each region – Regions 1-7 (USA and Canada), Region 8 (Europe, Middle East, Africa), Region 9 (Latin America), and Region 10 (Asia, Australia, Pacific), as well as ISCAS registration. The winning team will be awarded $3,000 USD.

IEEE EPS Student Chapter TUC-N awarding diplomas.

The IEEE EPS Student Chapter awarded diplomas to students who developed scientific papers for student conferences in the 2020-2021 academic year.

Also, together with the other Student Chapters from Romania, it awarded the grand prize consisting in the free publication of an article at the SIITME 2021 conference.

The activity of the IEEE TUC-N EPS chapter was presented in the EPS newsletter.

We are pleased to inform you that the activity of the EPS IEEE Student Chapter of the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technology, established in May 2020 by a group of students, is reflected in the January issue of the Electronics Packaging Society Newsletter.
