Competitions

Thank you for participating in the ECE Pulse 2013 Competitions! We will be announcing the competition winners on Friday, February 15th, before the Keynote speech. Refer to our schedule for more information.

 
The Competitions for ECE Pulse 2013 involve different categories to suit all expertise levels and many diverse areas of ECE and CS. Students ranging from freshmen with little experience to Grad students are welcome to participate. The higher the competition level, the more difficult the challenge is, but also the better the prizes! The prizes range from gift cards to four NVIDIA GTX480 GPUs valued at over $300 for the higher-level first places. Also, winners get an exclusive networking dinner with corporate representatives!

The Competitions will take place on Saturday, February 9th, for the entire day. We invite you and your friends to create a team and sign up for a competition! There will be free pizza and drinks for competitors!

You can compete by yourself or form a team of up to three people. You may also register for more than one competition, but bear in mind you have limited time! Competitions start at 10:00 AM and they’ll be going as long as they have to, but anyone can come in anytime. The meeting place is at Everitt Lab 269 at 10:00 AM.
