The Computer Society International Design Competition is open to undergraduate computer science students. Teams must design and implement computer-based solutions to real world problems. The spirit of the competition is ingenuity and originality in using PCs or hand-held computers to create a computer-based system that performs a socially useful function. Teams may consist of a faculty mentor and four undergraduate students (not all members have to be computer science/engineering majors). The theme of this year's CSIDC is Preserving, Protecting and Enhancing the Environment. The deadline to apply for participation in the competition is January 7, 2007.
