The pair s must work together to complete the task. We will use Zoom breakout rooms and each pair of teams will have their own. Work will be submitted into G oogle shared folders\, which will be locked for edits at noon. Schematics (any format including photos of hand drawn ones) and source code must be s ubmitted. Also teams will have video of their operation by noon to ensure those with judging later do not have additional time to continue work.\nJu dging will be from 12:00 to 16:00. Each team will have 20 minutes to prese nt so there will be 12 pairs of teams for 24 teams total.\n\nTeams may be up to 4 students. They must be IEEE Student Members\, but need not be from the same school or a school with an active student branch. They must be R egion 2 students.\n\nNot a Student Member? Join us here: https://www.ieee. org/membership/join/index.html\n\nRequired skills will be analog design (t ransistors and op amps) for sensor interface and digital programming (Ardu ino\, any language you choose).\nParticipants will need soldering stations & solder\, basic hand tools (wire cutters\, needle nose pliers\, etc:). V oltmeters and oscilloscopes are necessary. Other measuring tools are allow ed\, but external sources\, such as signal generators\, are prohibited.\nT hey will also need to supply a computer for programming the Arduino device .\nDC power supplies\, battery power\, or using a USB input for 5V power o nly are to be provided by the participant.\n\nPrizes will be awarded:\nMad Scientist - $250 for the best overall.\nEvil Wizard - $200 for completing the assignment and doing something weird.\nSorcerer's Apprentice - $50 fo r not completing the assignment\, but doing something weird and entertaini ng.\nJourneyman Spark - $0 for others competing the assignment.\nSmokey th e Bear - $0 for those that did not work\, but did not set off smoke alarms and evacuation of the building.\n\nOnly one member should register for ea ch team. Names and IEEE numbers for all team members are required to compl ete your registration.\n\nIf you are interested in participating\, but nee d others to form a team\, please register and indicate that under team mem bers.\n\nAgenda: \n8:30 AM - problems assigned to the teams\n\n12:00 PM - team submissions must be complete\n\n12:00 - 4:00 PM - presentation and in terviews with the judges\n\n5:00 PM - Awards\n\nVirtual: https://events.vt ools.ieee.org/m/307153 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/307153 ORGANIZER:catherinegao@ieee.org SEQUENCE:13 SUMMARY:IEEE R2 Student Brown Bag Competition - Analog and Digital Circuit Design URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/307153 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>This will be a competition for students to innovatively solve problems when presented with some parts that may or ma y not be involved in creating a solution.</p>\n<p>Teams will be paired\, b ut the pairings and the challenges will not be known until 8:30 the day of the competition.&nbsp\; The pairs must work together to complete the task .&nbsp\; We will use Zoom breakout rooms and each pair of teams will have their own.&nbsp\; Work will be submitted into Google shared folders\, whic h will be locked for edits at noon.&nbsp\; Schematics (any format includin g photos of hand drawn ones) and source code must be submitted.&nbsp\; Als o teams will have video of their operation by noon to ensure those with ju dging later do not have additional time to continue work.<br />Judging wil l be from 12:00 to 16:00. &nbsp\;Each team will have 20 minutes to present so there will be 12 pairs of teams for 24 teams total.</p>\n<p>Teams may be up to 4 students. &nbsp\;They must be IEEE Student Members\, but need n ot be from the same school or a school with an active student branch. &nbs p\;They must be Region 2 students.</p>\n<p>Not a Student Member?&nbsp\; Jo in us here: &nbsp\;https://www.ieee.org/membership/join/index.html</p>\n<p >Required skills will be analog design (transistors and op amps) for senso r interface and digital programming (Arduino\, any language you choose).<b r />Participants will need soldering stations &amp\; solder\, basic hand t ools (wire cutters\, needle nose pliers\, etc:). &nbsp\;Voltmeters and osc illoscopes are necessary. &nbsp\;Other measuring tools are allowed\, but e xternal sources\, such as signal generators\, are prohibited.<br />They wi ll also need to supply a computer for programming the Arduino device.<br / >DC power supplies\, battery power\, or using a USB input for 5V power onl y are to be provided by the participant.</p>\n<p>Prizes will be awarded:<b r />Mad Scientist - $250 for the best overall.<br />Evil Wizard - $200 for completing the assignment and doing something weird.<br />Sorcerer's Appr entice - $50 for not completing the assignment\, but doing something weird and entertaining.<br />Journeyman Spark - $0 for others competing the ass ignment.<br />Smokey the Bear - $0 for those that did not work\, but did n ot set off smoke alarms and evacuation of the building.</p>\n<p>Only one m ember should register for each team.&nbsp\; Names and IEEE numbers for all team members are required to complete your registration.</p>\n<p>If you a re interested in participating\, but need others to form a team\, please r egister and indicate that under team members.</p><br /><br />Agenda: <br / ><p>8:30 AM - problems assigned to the teams</p>\n<p>12:00 PM - team submi ssions must be complete</p>\n<p>12:00 - 4:00 PM - presentation and intervi ews with the judges</p>\n<p>5:00 PM - Awards</p> END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
