Bike Project Launched!
Oct 12th
We have officially launched our bike project and presented the prototype at the Valley 25×25 Symposium. Now the GPS-outfitted bikes will be available for the club members to ride, and we need to generate some good data! Ask at a meeting to get the unlock codes to have access to the bicycles in the basement of the HHS building.

Matt’s Bus App Publicized
Mar 19th
The JMU Bus Schedule Android app that we’ve all been a part of testing and advertising should be about to get some media attention because we sent out a press release! Click here to read it.
If you have friends with Android phones, send them this Market link: http://market.android.com/developer?pub=BlooJeans
Matt is also working on an iPhone version of the app now, which should be out in April.
Thanks to all club members that have been involved in helping Matt improve the app and spread the word about it!
IEEECS Hosts IBM Watson Watch Party With Unbelievable Turnout!
Feb 24th
On February 16, 2011, IBM came to James Madison University to present the Watson Jeopardy Challenge. Susan Veach, an IBM executive, presented a short video of the creation and future uses of Watson. The event, scheduled to take place in the Ntelos Room in ISAT, was moved to the higher-capacity auditorium on the first floor of HHS due to the unexpected number of students and faculty that came to the event. IEEE worked with SME and ASEM to host the event. Great job everyone and a special thanks to the guests and students that came!
A multitude of students and faculty watch the Watson Jeopardy Challenge in HHS auditorium.

Our Community Place Service Event
Jan 28th
IEEECS volunteered at Our Community Place in Harrisonburg, VA on December 4, 2010. The club made Christmas wreaths, served food, and cleaned up after dinner. This was a great way for us to give back to the community and it turned out to be very rewarding for us! Check out the pictures!
