Subject: Win up to $25,000 - Apply now for CSIDC 2003


The IEEE Computer Society invites teams of undergraduate students from
around the world to join the fourth 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 $25,000.

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, "Added Value: Turning a
Computer into a System." The best working prototype will win the top
prize, which includes financial aid to the school and cash to the
students. All of the top ten finalist teams receive cash awards.

We are happy announce the creation of to two new awards to be presented
at CSIDC 2003, the Microsoft Award for Software Engineering and the
Microsoft Multimedia Award.

The $2,500 Microsoft Multimedia Award will be presented to the team
whose presentation at the World Finals makes the most interesting,
innovative, exciting, and appropriate use of multimedia.

The $2,500 Microsoft Award for Software Engineering will be presented to
the team whose project exemplifies the best use of good software
engineering principles to the design and testing of their prototype.

The deadline for applying to CSIDC 2003 is 1 November 2002. From then,
students have until 28 April 2003 to submit their project reports. The
ten best projects are selected by 21 May. As part of the World Finals
event, held 29 June, 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 sponsorship for CSIDC 2003 is provided by Microsoft
Corporation.  Additional financial sponsorship is provided by ABB and
the IEEE Foundation. For more information about the IEEE Computer
