Message from AIAA:

Hello IEEE members,

  As many of you are aware, UCLA is home to many student engineering teams. Specifically AIAA (American Instutute of Areospace and aereonautics) supports three student projects: Design Build Fly, Autonomous Unmanned Arieal Vehicle, and Rocketry. Unfortunately, the AIAA Rocket Club needs help! The electronics division of the Rocket club needs some interested individuals to be a part of an ongoing rocket building project. This rocket, designed to fly a 10 lb payload up to 25,000 ft (that’s almost as high as Mt. Everest!), will not be able to fly without the help of electronics. The electronics team will be responsible for three tasks:
  1) Designing a 10 lb payload to transmit GPS and video data back to Earth.
  2) Setting up a testing environment for controlling and collecting data from the rocket’s experimental engine.
  3) Designing a throttling system for the rocket’s engine using a three axis accelerometer and a barometric altimeter.

  If you are interested in working on any of these three projects, then the AIAA Rocket Club may be the place for you! Come get some unique hands-on experience. Seeing a rocket that you built from scratch fly is definitely a rewarding feeling.

  The electronics division of the AIAA Rocket Club will be meeting this Monday, October 4th, at 6:30PM at Engineering 1, room 30-45. If there are any questions regarding the club or the meeting, please feel free to call or email me at (909)859-5038,Tokenekie@ucla.edu.

Thanks,
Peter Chang
AIAA Rocket Project - Electronics Lead

Eng IV 67-127
Time:
6-8pm
Description:
Learn about the new IEEE OPS Program! The OPS program provides a series of tutorials that will provide you with valuable hands on experience working with electronics, from simple analog circuits to building your own PCB. Food will be provided.
2.
NATCAR 2010-2011 Infosession
Date:
Wednesday, October 6th; OR Monday, October 11th (Make up)
Location:
Eng IV 53-135
Time:

If you like to find out more information about NATCAR this year, please come to one of the following infosessions where we'll introduce you to the lab and explain how you can get involved! Freshmen and underclassmen are more than welcome! FREE In-N-Out! If you can't make it to both dates, or if you have any questions/concerns, please feel free to contact tmdam@ucla.edu.



3.
First Micromouse Meeting
Date:
Friday 8th October
Location:
Eng I 2081 [IEEE Student Lab] (Bldg between Ackerman and Engn IV)
Time:
4pm
Description:
Learn about the annual IEEE micromouse program and get involved in learning about robotics. Students will learn many important concepts such as embedded systems, sensor fusion, and PID control. Come by and check us out!

4.
Welcome Picnic
Date:
Saturday, 9th October
Location
Sunken Gardens between Dodd and Haines
Time:
12pm – 4pm
Description:
