Hands-On PCB Engineering and Micromouse
Home: California, United States
The Berkeley IEEE branch hosts two student-run classes, HOPE Hands-on PCB Engineering and Micromouse! Come drop by to see the projects their students have been up to. In HOPE, students learn effective printed circuit board (PCB) design and develop the skills to build custom electronics for classes, personal projects, student teams, and more. At the end of the semester, we combine all of our projects in a student design showcase. The UC Berkeley IEEE Student Branch’s Micromouse DeCal is a hands-on course aimed at undergraduates with an interest in robotics. In the class, teams of ~2 students are formed to build and program autonomous, maze-solving cars that follow the standards set in IEEE’s Micromouse competition.

UC Berkeley Student IEEE Branch
The UC Berkeley IEEE Student Branch was established in 1912 and has been one of the most active engineering student organizations on campus ever since. We aim to promote professional development, encourage academic growth, and organize social activities within the greater engineering community. We like to build things and have a lot of fun!

We’ve inherited these classes from previous students, and having felt the effect of outreach on our own lives, are super enthusiastic about keeping the legacy going and getting more folks interested in hands-on engineering!
