    STUDENT NETWORKING COMPETITION RULES (posted 2/11/2018)

    The IEEE Region 3 Networking Competition is an opportunity for IEEE student members to develop networking skills through feedback provided by IEEE professional members in order to mirror the experience of presenting pitches during real world job fairs.



    STUDENT SOFTWARE COMPETITION RULES (posted 2/11/2018 - Update 3/24)

    The Region 3 Student Software competition is held annually in conjunction with SoutheastCon. Student teams are presented with programming problems and asked to code solutions. The solution codes are judged according to the defined metrics of the problem. The goal of the competition is for students to demonstrate general programming skills while learning new skills and having fun in a competitive environment.

    UPDATE: We added details regarding the automated judging system that we recently finished setting up (this includes instructions for their environment and how it will affect judging)

    We plan to e-mail those already registered (4 teams) to make sure they are aware of these changes.
