7. RFID Club is Looking for CPE majors!

For those of you that don't know, the RFID club is a project-based club that teaches students how to design, test, and implement RFID solutions. The technology involves several unique software components that have to interface with RF hardware. We intend to teach new members about RFID in weekly 1-hour info sessions. The RFID club welcomes all new members, if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me.

The first project is an RFID driven music light show (dare I say, rave), where colored lights change depending on where you stand in the room. This project needs to be defined, researched, designed, coded (yay!) and tested.

The next project for the quarter is a sustainability effort by campus dining to build a Zero Waste take-home container system facilitated by RFID. The idea is to have return bins that use RFID antennas to identify when you have returned your container and to update your mycalpoly account. We need to research, design, build, and test the return bins to provide a feasibility report to campus dining.

The third project is convince to university to purchase RFID tagged polycards. The benefits of tagged polycards are huge: easier access to and control of access to restricted areas (like the undergrad lab), faster and more secure payment method at campus dining locations, tickets to on campus events like concerts can be digitized and tied to your polycard, faster and easier boarding for buses, and more!

If these projects sound interesting to you we will be having our first meeting Thursday (1/14/16), week 2, during UU hour 11:00am to noon at Bonderson Bd 197, in the lobby.

Their next general meeting will be Sunday Jan 24 at 1:00pm in the Polygait lab in building 4.
