4. 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.

5. Java Developer and Software Designer Positions Available
The Cal Poly Advanced Technology Laboratories (ATL) houses a Transportation Management Center (TMC) Simulator. The TMC Simulator is used to teach Caltrans and CHP traffic operations personnel strategies and techniques for managing traffic incidents and congestion. The TMC Simulator provides a live, hands-on approach to training which immerses trainees in a simulated traffic management environment.
We are working on new tools and integrating existing traffic management tools into the TMC simulator and are looking for capable and hard-working software design and development engineering student assistants.
Software development and maintenance (Java) work includes:
- Design and implement a GUI-based software tool which automatically scripts traffic incidents for use in the TMC Simulator.
- Integrate incident management and logging tools used by Caltrans and CHP with the existing TMC Simulator software platform.
- Maintain existing Java code base.

6. Printed Circuit Board Layout Design Seminar | January 30 | 11:30am | 20-136
Hosted by Electric Power Institute & Power and Energy Society
Saturday 01/30/2016, 11:30am - 1:30pm (Lunch provided)
Location: Building 20, Room 136
Presenters:
Jim Tafoya, Printed Circuit Board Designer, Intersil Corporation, Milpitas, California
Lu Li, Test Development Engineer, Intersil Corporation, Milpitas, California
In this seminar, we will focus on the overall flow of the Printed Circuit Board Layout design process, some guidelines, good practices and techniques to avoid costly mistakes and ensure PCB layout success in the future.
1. Design flow - All the key steps from schematics capture to PCB layout
2. ISL6271A Evaluation Board Design As an Example
a. How to place critical components like decoupling capacitor and inductor
b. How to guard noisy switching trace
c. How to determine copper trace current capability for given trace width and copper weight
d. How to layout controlled impedance for I2C data and clock traces
e. How to determine board layer stack-up
3. Some Dos and Don'ts for PCB layout
