2. Eta
Kappa Nu? Eta Kappa You!
The EE and ECE departments are working together to bring Eta
Kappa Nu, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Honor Society, back to
campus! This organization was founded over 100 years ago to honor hard working
and otherwise exceptional engineers in our technical areas. It is also an
organization dedicated to service, and members often engage in activities like
tutoring, outreach, event planning, and you name it! To bring the organization
back, we'll need the help of a few dedicated students to take on initial
leadership roles in the club. If you're a sophomore, junior, senior, or masters
student and think you might be interested in helping to get the Cal Poly
chapter up and running again, please email Professor Danowitz
(adanowit@calpoly.edu).

422/PHYS 422 – Polymer Electronics Laboratory
This laboratory course introduces experimental
procedures in polymer electronics used to fabricate and test the
characteristics of solid state electronic devices. The student will be able to
make an electronic device based on a semiconducting polymer and characterize
its performance. Students may enroll for either one or more units. Students
enrolling for one unit will make and characterize the performance of a solid
state electronic device. Students enrolling for more units will also design,
carry out, and document an experiment in a manner that is suitable for
submission as a peer-reviewed journal article or as a patent application.
Pre-requisite EE 347, MATE 340, CHEM 319, or PHYS 340.

9. Robotics club is looking
for CPE students interested in computer vision and machine learning
Robotics club is looking for CPE students
interested in computer vision and machine learning to take part in an
autonomous foosball table. The mechanical side has been completed so the
majority of the work is in the computer vision software. Currently the table
plays at a beginner level and tracks the ball's location but there is much room
for improvement.
