IEEE at UCLA is a professional student-run engineering organization. We devote our time and energy towards bringing hands-on, practical experiences to engineering students at UCLA, as well as create opportunities for students to interact with industry professionals and more. Every year we lead several projects for our members to participate in, where dedicated leads provide fundamental knowledge and skills to students, which helps them complete challenging and interesting projects.Currently we have 3 projects: OPS, Micromouse, and Aircopter. Additionally, we hold workshops throughout the year. Our OPS program is designed to provide hands-on foundational knowledge in the field of tech and hardware. We assume you know absolutely nothing, and build your knowledge from the ground up. Throughout the year, students will be challenged to complete 2-3 small projects per quarter by applying the skills they have learned.A micromouse is a small robot that's programmed to find it's way to a goal within a maze. In this program, our leads teach you the fundamentals of how a micromouse is designed, and eventually you'll print your own PCB, solder a micromouse together, and program it through a maze. We hold annual events where students are invited to compete against each other with their micromouse.Our Aircopter program is designed around a few projects that require more advanced topics that aren't covered in our beginning OPS program. Some of the subjects we emphasize in this program are communication, advanced control, motors, and common modules such as gyroscopes and radio modules to build a quadcopter.IEEE holds a series of workshops throughout the school year where anyone can participate and learn about new skills and technologies. These projects are aimed at teaching everyone about common skills in electrical engineering such as soldering, image processing, prototyping, and electronics.
