The IEEE Computer Society invites teams of undergraduate students from around the world to join the seventh annual IEEE Computer Society International Design Competition. Students work first at their home institutions and then, if they’re chosen to be among the top ten finalists, in live finals in Washington, DC, for a top prize of $20,000.
Teams must design, build, test, and document a working system based on a PC, laptop, or handheld computing device to solve a real-world problem. After six months of intense work, participants then must submit reports documenting the design and implementation of their prototype.
Undergraduates will compete with their peers to build a unique computer-driven device based on the theme, “Preserving, Protecting and Enhancing the Environment” The best working prototype will win the top prize, a $20,000 cash awarded to the student team members. All of the top ten finalist teams receive cash awards.
The deadline for applying to CSIDC 2006 is 1 December 2005. From then, students have until 16 April 2006 to submit their project reports. The ten best projects are selected by 14 May. As part of the World Finals event, held 30 June - 2 July, teams receive a trip to the Washington, DC area.
Past CSIDC prize-winning devices included a building surveillance system from Politehnica University of Bucharest, an eye-motion monitor from Poznan University of Technology, and a heart care unit from McMaster University.
Primary financial support for CSIDC 2007 is provided by Microsoft Corporation. For more information about the IEEE Computer Society International Design Competition or to apply online, see
