What we do

The PELS and IES joint chapter is for students who like to hold their work in their hands: boards, converters, motors and controllers.

Members learn PCB design from schematic to fabrication, build power converters and program the embedded systems that drive industry.

01

PCB design

Schematic capture, layout and in-house fabrication.

02

Power converters

DC-DC and inverter topologies, simulation to hardware.

03

Embedded drives

Motor control and real-time firmware.

04

Industrial IoT

Sensors, PLCs and factory automation.

Signature activities
