New UCLA IEEE Membership			IEEE UCLA is implementing a new student membership system—just attend any one of our events to receive a membership card, a pass to our special events where space is limited and we give free stuff (i.e. soldering workshop, PSoC and Pizza workshop). With this card we are also launching a rewards program in which collecting stickers from five events will earn a prize: a backpack filled with cool IEEE gear.
Your free pass to workshops and rewards in a single card.
