4. Which course of study should I be following to make participation worthwhile?
As the case study has a highly technical focus, you should preferably be studying electrical engineering, telecommunications engineering, communications engineering, radio engineering or applied computer science.
5. What tools and aids are allowed?
It goes without saying that you can use all aids available to you (books, lecture notes, etc.). You can also take along your personal notebook PC.
6. What are the criteria for deciding whether a team can participate?
