What former participants say

Lukas Wörle (participated in 2007, now Software Developer at Rohde & Schwarz)

"We divided the tasks among us so that everyone could contribute their best to the success of the team. Nevertheless, we discussed our approach to solutions, and you get inspired by your teammates' ideas. This has helped me a lot."

Florian Schlembach (participated in 2013)

"One challenge is certainly, to work on demanding tasks under time pressure and create an attractive presentation. But it was a lot of fun for me to do it together with other students in a team."

Sven Wittig (participated in 2015)

"It is crucial to be able to assess one's own strengths and those of one's team memmbers properly and to focus under time pressure on the tasks one does best. And one must be able to quickly understand new subjects and apply them in practice. What did I like most? During the final round in Munich, there was still time to explore the city and get to know Rohde & schwarz better."

FAQs

What fields of study are acceptable for participation in the competition?

The tasks are aimed at students majoring in electrical engineering or information technology – ideally with first experiences with image recognition, but don’t hesitate to register even if you are just teaching yourself the necessary basics!

How many semesters must students have completed to participate?

We recommend that students have completed at least second year. But, students who have completed fewer semesters may participate. Get participants who have completed higher semesters to be part of your team!

It doesn't matter whether the participants are working towards a bachelor's, master's or diploma.

Which groups are excluded from participating?

Students that have finished or left their studies, graduates and PhD candidates are not allowed to participate. Please note: This is a competition for students of electrical and software engineering.

What knowledge do the participants need?

Many solutions lead to the goal! However, knowledge in Python and first experiences with image recognition methods are required to automatically analyze the provided microwave images. Furthermore, we recommend to build an interdisciplinary team.
