The Semester's Drawing Near!

Hello MIEEEmbers!

The semester is almost here…. You’ve got T-minus

days left to prepare for the inevitable. Good luck.

On the other hand, that means you have about a month to prepare IEEE’s First GBM. It’s happening on Friday, September 15th at 1PM at Light Engineering 102. Pull up, have fun, and meet the crew behin the chaos that will ensue this year.

RSVP Here: First GBM RSVP

Do you like teaching? Do you like challenges? Or do you just want to boost that resume a little?

We are looking for OPS instructors! OPS (Open Project Space) is an initiative to teach the fundamentals of electronics through a series of five beginner-friendly workshops.  Each week, we will teach a new concept relating to Arduino and electrical engineering concepts.

Students will get to implement these techniques in a mini-project during each workshop. You will get to aid and teach students these concepts, while further solidifying your own understanding.

Interested? Click here: OPS Instructor Interest Form

Alternatively, if you’d like to learn from the wonderful people who volunteer their effort and time, we will be releasing a sign-up form to join OPS as a student soon. Stay tuned!

Theres more to come!

A ton more exciting events to look out for this year, including:

  • Soldering Workshop (Hosted by yours truly, I promise you it’ll be fun as heck)
  • Student Professor Mixer (Have fun with your teachers???)
  • Wiring Workshop (Absolutely Critical for those of you in ESE 280)
  • Open Project Space (Learn everything about EE!)
  • Resume Reviews (…Well you want a job, don’t you?…)

For those of you looking to use the lab for yourselves, we’ll be officially releasing lab hours after the first GBM on 9/15. To find out: show up!

What do I mean by the lab?

IEEE @ SBU has a little shop in Light Engineering 175. We’ve got all the electrical equipment, people, expertise and good vibes you might need to begin, continue, or finish a project. If you don’t have a project, swing by still! The IEEE lab is a great place to chill out or complete any work you might need to do for classes. We have the answer for anything.

Roommate too loud to focus? IEEE.
Want to build a project? IEEE.
Bored? IEEE.
Need a shock to keep yourself awake during class? For legal reasons, I can’t say anything further. Instead, check out the equipment we have below!

Equipment (There’s more than I can fit in this email)

  • 3-Output DC Power Supplies
  • DC Power Supplies
  • Function Generators
  • Multimeters
  • Oscilloscopes
  • Saleae Logic Analyzer
  • Soldering Stations
  • Basys 3 FPGAs
  • ATMega 4809s
  • 3D printer

You may have heard about the Micromouse Competition. The rules are simple: build a tiny robot to make its way to the end of a maze. Veratasium recently did a video on the competition: Video Link

Our efforts in the Region 1 Micromouse competition has been published in The Pulse, a magazine by IEEE Long Island. Read all about it here: Pulse Magazine.

That’s all for now! Remember to drop a follow on our social medias to stay in the know with what we’re doing. Visit our website while you’re at it, too.
