IEEE at UCI runs hands-on programs that help students build real engineering skills through projects, lectures, and competition.
Open Project Space (OPS) is a year-long program where students get to build 7 projects in embedded programming and circuit design, plus 1 capstone project. Each project is preceded by a lecture giving technical background on subjects pertaining to the upcoming build.
