The Quarterly Projects (QP) Showcase is an exciting culmination of a 10-week thematic project competition organized by IEEE at UC San Diego. QP is a guided, team-based initiative where participants develop innovative engineering projects aligned with the quarterly theme. This showcase is your opportunity to demonstrate your creativity, technical skills, and teamwork to IEEE professionals, faculty, and peers.

The showcase follows a "science fair" format: teams present their projects to judges, who rotate between projects for evaluations. It’s a chance to celebrate your hard work and inspire others with your ideas.

Event Schedule (Friday, 12/06):

  • 7:00 PM: Check-in and setup begins (please arrive early).
  • 7:30 PM: Opening remarks and judging starts.
  • 9:30 PM: Judging concludes.

Let’s celebrate your hard work and innovation!
