The executive team posing with Rasmus Lerdorf, author of PHP, at the Sheraton Ottawa Hotel
IEEE Connects! was a formal dinner event aimed to bridge the gap between students and their career goals. Students and employers had the opportunity to network with each other in a friendly environment along with professionals and academics representing the field of Engineering. Successful professionals from the field of engineering shared their experiences to illustrate how a student can prudently plan their career in the present day context and embark into his most desired professional career.
The keynote speaker for the event was Rasmus Lerdorf, author of PHP and an Infrastructure Architect at Yahoo! The event was attended by over 150 engineering students and 40+ industry representative. It was jointy organized by IEEE Carleton and IEEE uOttawa.
Students playing network games against each other in a local area network of 100 computers connected by gigabit ethernet. The network was solely set up for the event.
Teams of players battling away on the multimedia projector
Battle Royale 2008 was a 24 hr LAN Party, a friendy network gaming competition, between the students of Carleton University and the University of Ottawa.
This event was jointly organized by IEEE Carleton, IEEE OttawaU and CCSS (Carleton Computer Science Society). The highlight of this event was purely competitive, featuring students from different educational backgrounds and was one of the largest social events organized. Refreshments and complete meals were provided.
Despite one of the biggest snowfalls in the history of Ottawa that weekend the event was attended by over 80 participants from Carleton University and University Ottawa and the students indulged into this friendly war between the two universities.
Students "Jamming" away with Codes :)
IEEE Code Jam was a first year programming contest aimed to promote the field of Computing and Information Processing technology to the students. This was an excellent opportunity for the participants to put their skills to a test and show the world their programming potential.
The contest was day long and was open to only students in first year. It was a huge success. There were as many as 35 contestants in total out of an approximate total of 300 first year engineering students at Carleton.
The event was sponsored by the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton University.
