Engineers Without Borders is a humanitarian organization that enables passionate engineering students at UCSD to work on long-term projects with the ultimate aim of improving the quality of life of residents in underdeveloped locations. We currently have projects in Kenya and Mexico that focus on providing residents with a sustainable source of clean water. The quarterly projects is a new program that EWB is starting this year. As the Director of Quarterly Projects, I am in charge of implementing and leading this program, which aims to educate EWB members on current issues and guide them on developing a prototype in 10-weeks.
The RoboCup Soccer project is developed and regulated by the RoboCup Federation. In this project, teams build and program a group of soccer robots that can autonomously dribble, pass, and shoot using advanced AI algorithms. Our team focuses on the RoboCup SSL (small-size league), and we are set to compete in 2020. As the project lead, I collaborate with other IEEE project leads to direct our team and allocate resources. I oversee the development of our prototypes, software, and hardware.
The Computer Science and Engineering Society aims to form a passionate community of computer scientists and programmers at UC San Diego. As part of the CSES career staff, I help plan CSES' career events by finding presenters, booking locations, and planning other logistics. We aim to prepare and connect the UCSD computer science and engineering community to the industry through technical workshops and other events such as mock interviews.
The IEEE Quarterly Project is a 10-week program where UCSD engineering students work in teams lead by a mentor to develop a software/hardware product using various technologies such as SolidWorks and Arduino and to learn other skills such as web development and circuit design. Quarterly Project++ is the next iteration of the Quarterly Projects, and teams are larger, get a larger budget, and develop a significantly more technically complex project.
