Technical Committee
Tech committee's ambition is for ieee.ucsd.edu to be no less than the greatest website on the internet. The activities of tech committee break down into three primary areas: User Experience and Design, Application Development, and Shared Services and Infrastructure.

- Want site to have consistent functionality and feel. Write extensible frameworks to facilitate rapid application development and maximum integration.
- Write components and services that can be reused by many applications.
- Work on content management system to ensure the content generators can easily add and modify wide spectrum of static and dynamic content.
- Administer and maintain server to facilitate optimal performance, reliability, and security.
- Skills: php, mysql, xml, html, css, javascript, objected oriented design, linux servers, apache
- Implement functionality based on needs of users and content generators.
- Use components written by Shared Services and Infrastructure when possible, specify areas for further development where infrastructure is lacking.
- Work with User Experience and Design to ensure that applications are functionally efficient, good looking, and intuitive to use.
- Skills: html, css, javascript, php, mysql, object oriented design, interface design
