5. Announcement from AIAA Electronics Lead

Hello IEEE,

It seems that there was apparently a meeting conflict on Monday such
that some IEEE members that may have been interested in the AIAA
Rocket Club were unable to attend the informational meeting for the
Electronics division of the rocket club. Fortunately, there will be a
make-up meeting Thursday at 6:30 PM, 3rd floor of Engineering 1, room
3045. I will be giving a brief overview of the five different focus
groups of the Electronics division so that those who are still
interested can sign up to join a specific team. The meeting will
probably be about 30-45 minutes long. See you there!

Peter Chang
AIAA Rocket Project - Electronics Lead
