There will also be Wings provided!

When:  Monday, October 19th, 4PM-5:30PM
Where: Thurston Hall, room 205!

What: Prof. Land will be talking about ECE 4760 (one of the most popular CDE classes for ECE students), ECE 5760, and about his own research!

Also come to pay your IEEE membership fee so you can be included on the resume CD!

Here’s a link to Land’s profile:

What are microcontrollers, and what’s cool about them?

Basically they’re chips used all over the place as control systems for electronics/ robotics, etc, and the project possibilities are endless!  Take a look at some past 4760 projects:

Laser Pong!

Greetings IEEE members,

We are now going to begin taking submissions for our resume CD!  This is a great opportunity to get seen by lots of companies.  We give this CD out to companies that host information sessions with us, and also send them out to our corporate contacts (especially those that were not able to have info sessions at Cornell this year).  It’s a great way to get exposure.

In order to be eligible to submit a resume, you must be either an IEEE National student member (paid the $32 through the IEEE website) or a Cornell IEEE branch member ($5 per year).  If you haven’t paid, you may pay at our next G-body meeting, or during the officer office hours, which will be posted over Fall Break.

To submit your resume please do the following:

1. Specify in the title of your resume whether or not you are applying for full time or internship positions (see below).

2. Follow the submissions guidelines (below).

3. E-mail the document to ieee.cornell@gmail.com, with the subject as: IEEE Resume Book (please do this - we filter our e-mails and if you don’t have the right subject line, it may get lost).

IEEE Resume Submission Guidelines:

1. Resumes must be 1 page, black and white, PDF documents
2. Resumes submitted for internships / part-time positions, please name:
- LastName, FirstName-parttime.pdf
3. Resumes for full time positions please name:
- LastName, FirstName-fulltime.pdf
4. You may submit 2 resumes (one part time and one full time) if you so desire.

The Submission Deadline will be Sunday, November 1st, by midnight!

The T-shirt competition guidelines are posted here:

Greetings everybody,

Did you think the ECE t-shirt design last year could’ve used some improvement?  Would you like to display your mad graphics skillz in a creative and funny way?  Or do you want to win a free T-shirt and gift cards?

Then come to the IEEE meeting TODAY, (there will be ice cream, insomnia cookies, and drinks!)

October 6th from 4:45PM-5:30PM, in PH 213

IEEE will be presenting the guidelines and rules for our new ECE t-shirt competiton!

The competition will begin that day and run for 3 weeks.

At the end, every ECE student will have the opportunity to vote on their favorite t-shirt design, and then we’ll get them made and start selling.  The top 3 designs will win prizes. 

At this meeting we will also be taking suggestions for possible town house meetings in the future.  A town house meeting is one where students, faculty, and the ECE director gather to discuss issues that are critical to the ECE student population.  Topics may include course structure, research facilities, or anything else you can think of that could improve the ECE experience.

Hope to see you there,

-Jayce Doose
IEEE President
