  4. What does it mean to “be a member”? IEEE International IEEE UCSD Student Branch • Join online, get a member number • Huge Network • IEEE Xplore • Jobs, internships, scholarships • Join IEEE international • Officers • Projects • Events Your membership in IEEE makes UCSD Student Branch possible!

  5. What do we do? • Projects • Outreach • Technical • Professional • Social

  6. Projects Micromouse Natcar Robomagellan Projects Manager:MrinalAgarwal Project Leads: Alex Forencich Jeffrey Wurzbach Justin Li OmeedMirbod

  7. IEEE UCSD Projects • What? • IEEE UCSD Projects is the robotic competition division • Benefits? • Gain valuable hands on experience • Build an attractive resume • Travel to the competitions • Get to work with fellow IEEE members • No prior experience required !

  8. Micromousethe maze race of the micromice • Design and build a robotic “mouse” to reach the center of a maze as fast as it can • Learn to work with microcontrollers, C programming, circuit design, sensors and more • Status Update

  9. Natcar • Design and build an autonomous car that can navigate by itself around any given track. • Natcar looks at simple sensors to provide directional feedback to the car and implements predictive acceleration and deceleration to complete the track in as short a time as possible. Circuit design, control theory, microcontroller programming • Status Update

  10. Robomagellan • Build and design an autonomous robot to conquer great outdoors! • Robomagellan uses a combination of its sensory capabilities including GPS, machine vision, optical sensors, and ultrasound sensors to navigate around the obstacles • Status Update

  11. We want YOU involved in projects! All years • Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors All majors • EE, CS, CE, ME, cog sci Real learning happens outside the classroom. To join, talk to project leaders after presentation.

  12. Outreach • Inspire the next generation of engineers to keep innovation alive! • Volunteer at local schools and community events • Events • Sally Ride Festival • Science Discovery Day • Computers to SD Kids • San Diego Science Festival
