Rice IEEE Student Section
Rice has its own student section of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).Check the section's web site for events (many with refreshments).
Some of these links are just fun; some are instructive; some are both. Many of them come from my former graduate student Ken Pedrotti, now teaching at UC Santa Cruz: EE80T Modern Electronic Technology and How It Works. Thanks, Ken.
