| Know a tech student? International competition opens |
May 9, 2007 |
If you know a bright student in the communications, computer science or engineering field, point him or her towards the RAD Data Communications Web site.
The company recently launched an international competition, asking students to submit tutorial projects covering any one of six topics: Internet Control Message Protocol (including both IPv4 and IPv6), IPv6 auto-configuration, Border Gateway Protocol (including updates for IPv6), Open Shortest Path First (including updates for IPv6), WiMAX or Secure Shell. And if you don’t know what any of those mean, don’t worry: tech students do.
Winners receive various gift certificates, but more importantly also land a good résumé boost just before they enter the job market. Prizes will also be awarded for best-animated tutorial, the best interactive tutorial and the best HTML tutorial. Submissions will be judged on technical accuracy, depth and scope of coverage,
creativity in presentation, educational value and entertainment level.
Entry details are at the RAD Web site, www.rad.com. Projects must be submitted in HTML in English no later than July 31. Each entry must be sponsored by a professor at an accredited institute of education.
