 | IEEE Orange County Student Design Contest Sponsored by Western Digital Corp. | | Submission date has been extended to Saturday, October 31, 2009. Don't Miss Out! (Final Format Must be in MS Word or PowerPoint) (Wed, Nov 4, poster presentation (poster display --- poster size: 24x36 or slightly larger) is required & students must be available to discuss their projects with the judges). Dear Engineering & Computer Science Students: You are cordially invited to participate in the IEEE Orange County Section Student Design Contest that will be held on November 4, 2009, at the 7th International System-on-Chip (SoC) Conference at the Radisson Hotel Newport Beach. This targeted event enables dialogue among peers and experts in our field and it is an outstanding networking opportunity for graduating students seeking new opportunities in the high-tech industry. Project Proposal: The Student Design Contest is designed to encourage engineering and computer science students attending the Southern California Universities & Colleges (undergraduates & graduates) to work on a new design (paper design is also accepted) and present their work at the 7th International System-on-Chip (SoC) Conference via a poster display (poster size: 24x36 or slightly larger). The design project could be a chip-level design, a board-level design (microprocessor or microcontroller based, etc.), a software project, or a detailed technology analysis/research. Each project will be judged based on its overall complexity, originality, and completion of the work. “Wild and Crazy” design projects are also welcomed! We look forward to hearing from you. To Participate: Submission Date Has been Extended to Saturday, October 31, 2009.
