Preparation for CSE computing 2019_2020!
In September 2019: Computer Science and Engineering department launched the CSE Computing Contest
2019-2020. The contest will be organized for the thirteenth time. Last years contests have been a great
success; participation level was great, and the department was surprised to see the talent and abilities
demonstrated by most participants. The Department of Computer Science and Engineering would like to
encourage school students to contribute to this computing contest. The theme of this year is related to
Hamad port. Where students will be asked to transfer container from the Port of Doha to the port using their
robot.
This computing contest is designed to offer students the opportunity to interact
with each other and demonstrate their
creativity and teamwork skills. The contest also provides a platform for the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at
QU and schools to focus on the growing market demand for computing professionals (such as software engineers, system
administrators, system developers, network designers, security consultants, teachers, etc.). There will be two contests this year;
the first one is Microcontroller contest that will be on the concept of “Smart Shade” – under the umbrella of smart cities concept.
Furthermore, the other contest will be on robotics-based challenges. The winning teams will be awarded valuable prizes at an
awards ceremony that will immediately follow the competition. In preparation for the contest, the department set a workshop for
