Summer Opportunity: MIST Makers

Hi EE Majors!!!!

The MIST Center in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is organizing an undergraduate effort this summer called the MIST Makers.   Volunteer undergraduate students will work on teams to develop creative smart systems that integrate sensors, computing, wireless connectivity, and power management, commonly known as the “Internet of Things”.  Students can develop practical problem-solving and design skills while working on hardware projects that can help improve quality of life or address real-world problems.  Students who have done well in digital logic and microprocessor applications are preferred.  Please contact Dr. Nishida <nishida@ufl.edu> and Dr. Arnold <darnold@ufl.edu> for more information.

RE: SwampSat II CubeSat Mission

Hi EE Majors

I am currently the chief engineer on the SwampSat II CubeSat mission. The mission is design, develop, test, and launch a 3U CubeSat to measure VLF (Very Low Frequency) waves in the ionosphere. We are currently scheduling for a two-year project life cycle and we are looking for talented and passionate students to join the project. We need electrical, mechanical, and aerospace engineers to help us achieve our goals in time for delivery to the launch provider.

The link to the application is: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1CS2ij_Il6TTQyvS1l5n_rQY1GIenZc-es0F6rbyGkQI/viewform?c=0&w=1

If possible, could you forward this to the graduate and undergraduate electrical engineering students in the department?

Thanks,

Joe Kleespies

RE: Job Opportunity at Z-Systems Inc

Hi EE Majors:

Job available for anyone with experience using TI’s ‘C66X series of DSP chips and Code Composer Studio. Familiarity with TI’s XDAIS standard and APPE framework would be a plus, but not essential. The candidate will be porting a collection of audio algorithms to the ‘C66X and working with a Spectrum Digital evaluation system for the ‘C66X. Hours are flexible and pay is commensurate with experience.

Interested parties should contact Glenn Zelniker at

glennz@z-sys.com

Thanks,

Glenn

RE: Summer research in CSP

Dear EE and CpE undergrads,

The space R&D program in the NSF CHREC Center (www.chrec.org) at UF includes a major project called CHREC Space Processor (CSP), crafting innovative software and hardware for high-speed, high-reliability computing on spacecraft (satellites, rovers, possibly even deep-space probes).  CSP is slated for its first space mission in November by NASA on the ISS, with 12 weather satellites featuring CSP scheduled for launch in Fa16/Sp17, a NASA satellite in later 2017, and more missions to follow.  

For summer R&D activities, we are inviting students with background in microprocessors, FPGA design, PCB design, or Linux system programming to contact us about possibly joining the CSP team. If you are available and interested, please contact me ASAP.

Best wishes,
