EE Student Information, Spring Quarter through Academic Year 2020-2021: FAQs and Updated EE Course List.
Updates will be posted on this page, as well as emailed to the EE student mail list.
As always, use your best judgement and consider your own and others' well-being at all times.
With widespread adoption of VR, what data could we collect about users, and what can we then extrapolate from that data? Where's the line between reasonable and unreasonable knowledge? This talk will cover potential risks and concerns about Privacy and VR and offer suggestions for developers and users.
Immersive interfaces have the potential to enable powerful human-to-human interactions by creating shared spaces. Learn best practices for designing VR and AR experiences around communal interactions to enable collaboration, communication and co-presence. By also considering asymmetric experiences that take place across heterogeneous devices like a headset and a mobile phone, designers can open up new opportunities for participation. Mechanics built around asynchronous interactions can make small communities feel bigger.
This session will discuss findings from dozens of social interaction tests and highlight best practices towards designing fantastic multi-person immersive experiences.
From Rabbit Hole VR Club: Tutorials and instructional office hours will be held during Fall quarter for students who are interested in XR but don't have much experience. There will be weekly office hours (Sundays 5 - 6 p.m., lab64) with an experienced core member who will help with weekly assignments starting week 3. The content covered, courtesy of Udacity, is listed below:
Introduction to Virtual Reality
VR Scenes and Objects
VR Software Development
The pacing of the content will be about 2-3 hours per week. The timeline for these unofficial assignments are listed below.
By week 3: Finish Introduction to Virtual Reality
By week 4: Finish Animations in Scenes and Objects
By week 5: Finish Scenes and Objects
By week 6: Finish Controlling Objects Using Code in Software Development
By week 7: Finish Programming Animations in Software Development
By week 8: Finish Software Development
Basic programming experience is highly recommended. An experience level of having completed CS 106A will suffice for most of the topics covered, and an experience level of having completed CS 106B/X is ideal

The Microsoft HoloLens, the first fully untethered holographic Windows computer, brings with it a new wave of holographic development. What are the challenges of Mixed Reality? What kind of apps make sense and work well? Tobiah Zarlez from Microsoft will answer these questions and more, covering the basics of the HoloLens, how it works, and how you can start developing holographic applications today.
Engineering Abroad Programs information session.
Hear about all of the opportunities you have to study abroad as a Stanford Engineering student, from Stanford Global Studies, Stanford Global Engineering, and the Bing Overseas Studies Program. Even better, hear from a panel of eight current engineering students who actually participated in these programs, and about their experiences abroad, and specifically how it contributed to their engineering studies and how they made it work for them.
Stay afterwards from 8:00 - 8:30 for a mixer (light refreshments provided) and talk to them yourself.
The Stanford Optical Society will be holding their annual Welcome BBQ. All are welcome!
Come eat and meet some new people, and learn more about what the optical society does (e.g., speakers, outreach, and fun).
Details available by joining their mailing list.
The Stanford Amateur Radio Club, W6YX, will hold its monthly meeting tonight Tuesday, October 10 at 7:30PM. Please join us in Packard Room 202. We'll be having a pizza social to meet and greet with new students/members. We'll also give a brief introductory talk on various activities the club is currently involved in, such as software defined radio applications, satellite communications, Earth-Moon-Earth (moon bounce) communication, radio contesting and just about anything else RF related! Feel free to participate, mingle and learn something new.
The lunch will have a roundtable format and is an excellent opportunity to ask questions about grad school, careers in academia etc.
Attendees will receive a doordash gift card to purchase lunch for the event.
If there is a high level of interest in the event, we will hold a lottery to select the attendees.
In 2019 the Stanford Electrical Engineering Department celebrated its 125th anniversary. As part of celebration, we will be designing, engineering and installing an interactive light sculpture in the 3-story glass stairwell of the Packard building, named FLIGHT. FLIGHT consists of 76 Fractal Flyers, bird-like shapes inspired by the geometry of the stairwell that move. The wings of the Fractal Flyers are dichroic acrylic, so that during the day their color shifts and changes with the angle of light. At night, they light up with patterns across their bodies and wings. The sculpture will remain in Packard for 3-5 years, allowing refinement, exploration of new engineering ideas, and new interactions.
Hello WEE!
Welcome back to a new academic year!
We would like to invite everyone to our Fall Virtual Welcome Event on Friday Sep. 25 at 4pm. We will talk more in depth about the events we have planned this year, and how you can get involved! Some highlights: our new Advocacy chair and committee, big/lil sibling pair ups and much more. There will also be a round of trivia (winning team gets a prize) so come by to meet new and returning students in our community and have a great time!
In the meantime and throughout this virtual quarter, feel free to connect with each other and returning students by filling out an entry in our WEE Study/Hobby Buddy doc.
We will try to complete a full mechanism today (cables, shafts, etc.) for show and tell. We also have some progress on wing wiring.
See you then!
Charlie and Prof. Levis invite you to attend weekly meetups for everyone contributing to FLIGHT this summer.
Tuesdays at 8PM PDT.

Dear colleagues and Stanford Community,
I'm forwarding this message at the request of Prof. Allyson Hobbs, open to anyone interested (feel free to share), and with apologies for cross-postings... Prof. Hobbs has created an online space for all at Stanford to join together as a community, featuring a wide variety of great speakers.
As we continue to grapple with these challenging times and seek spaces to discuss racial injustice in America, I am happy to announce that Professor Imani Perry (Princeton University) will be our special guest on the Stanford Community Hour on SATURDAY, JUNE 13 at 1pm PST. **Please note the change in date due to the virtual celebration of seniors on Sunday.**
...
Please RSVP if you plan to eat lunch.
Chem-H building is new, and just north of the Engineering Quad.
Companies everywhere are building AI teams, but it's still unclear what aspiring machine learning engineers, data scientists, and software engineers should focus on when applying for AI jobs. This talk (illustrated with case studies) walks you through different types of AI organization, different roles within them, the tasks you can work on, and the skills recruiters are looking for in each role.
Please register for food purposes. As it is traditional in our events, pizza will be served.
