A Little History….
May 25, 1936, the Board of Directors of AIEE authorized the establishment of the East Tennessee Section.
June 1, 1962, the East Tennessee Section was divided into two sections: Chattanooga Section and East Tennessee Section.
January 1, 1963, AIEE merged with IRE and became IEEE!

Project Goal
Perform a series of projects that will help
students to learn and develop important
skills for the prototyping of electrical circuits.
Project Description
This project will detail the design, simulation, PCB design, assembly, and verification of a 0-15V power supply.
The circuit to be designed is a simple AC/DC converter that will supply a variable voltage regulator.
In following the project, it is intended that students will develop skills they may not be exposed to through typical coursework as well as obtain an effective, variable power supply for at-home projects.
Step 1: Simulation
Circuit simulation will be performed using LTspice
and will cover simple magnetic coupling, AC/DC
conversion, and basic electronic components.
Step 2: PCB Design
PCB design will be performed using CircuitMaker,
an free Altium design tool for hobbyists.
PCB design will cover trace distance and width
calculation based on IPC-2221B standards,
component layout creation, using net lists, efficient
component placement, and 2 layer route tracing.
Step 3: Assembly
Circuit assembly will focus on proper
soldering methods and the proper handling
and storage of the tools and board.
Step 4: Operation Verification
Assembled circuits will be tested to verify expected
characteristics such as voltage variability and maximum
supply current.
Simple circuit will be powered by the supply to verify that
changes in load do not have an effect on supply output
within operational ranges.
Conclusion
Very good activities plan but requires a lot of dedicated
time from student officers.
The IEEE robotics team is normally under the capstone
program
One main area of concern of our chapter is funding … need
to identify possible funding opportunities.
The student branch chapter is ready and willing to help do
mini projects for local industries when needed but support
is critical since that is the only way students will respond.
Overall, we are excited about being able to mentor and
help the young engineers when needed most.
