IEEE at the University of Houston

“IEEE is the world’s largest engineering organization, and UH is a pretty big school. We should be a stronger student chapter.”

My motivation for being a part of IEEE-UH is to build a beacon for students interested in engineering, from aspiring researchers, competitive hobbyists, and novices.

Growing up, there wasn’t anywhere I could go to explore hardware engineering and learn about analog electronics, which always interested me. So, a lot of the initiatives I try to bring to IEEE-UH are to “cover our bases” and provide students with well-rounded experiences.

I love electrical engineering because it’s such a broad field, the engineers are striving to design more efficient, clean, and robust systems. And there’s so many applications! Plasma physics, renewable energy, RF, instrumentation, robotics… which makes you wonder why we don’t offer a platform for students to engage with these fields? That is the problem that I want to address through IEEE-UH.

My experience so far has mainly been putting together workshops that teach practical skills that are applicable across developing projects, such as KiCad, Git, Soldering, and 3D Slicing. A lot of what concerns me is also ensuring that intiatives that start today can last for a while. This is why I hope to create a documentation hub soon through Astro, much like how I vibe-coded this website, lol.

You can learn more about my work for the organization through that documentation hub when it’s available.
