HOW TO

THE

COMPETITIONS

Computer Science (CSCI) A competition for teams of 1 or 2 undergraduate student programmers, challenged to solve specific programming problems and evaluated for applied logic, execution, and style. Programming problem solutions may be solved using Java, C++, C#, Python or Visual Basic in less than one hour. Scoring: Does it compile? 10%, Does it execute the logic properly? 75%, Does it validate data? 15%. Readability and Efficiency of code will be subjective measures used in the case of a tie.

Database Management (DBMS) Competitors will be given a database with 15 to 20 tables in raw data format. From these tables each team will be

required to answer 25 business intelligence questions. Teams will be scored on obtaining the correct results and staging of

the results to a fictitious board of directors. This will include the information, graphs and recommendation by the team.

Software Development (SDEV) Teams will be issued a challenge with instructions to design and develop a website using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript in the time allotted (50 minutes). The specifics of the web development challenge will be posed at the beginning of the event, but will consist of a home page and at least two other pages. The website will be designed attractively and professionally, and will include user interaction and forms. A warning will be given shortly before the deadline for teams to save their work and close their files. Scoring will be based on the saved version of all files in the website. Points will be awarded based on the following criteria: Graphics and type, Overall design and layout, Programming code, Process, and Professionalism.

IT Support (ITSP) Teams of up to 2 people will be given the components and software to assemble 2 computers and get them prepared to deploy in a work based environment. Once physical assembly is complete teams will need to install and configure Windows and Linux operating systems as well as production and application software. Teams will be competing against each other as well as the one hour time limit. Points will be awarded for fully completing each step of the competition within the time limit; any ties will be decided by the fastest completion time of all steps.

Cyber Security / Information Assurance (CSIA) Based upon the National Cyber League competition supported by CSSIA.org on the Cyber Skyline Platform, students will perform a Capture the Flag game scenario using a variety of security and forensic techniques to determine exploits and how to respond appropriately to threats. Steps require the use of WireShark, Snort, Nmap, and TCPDump presented on NetLab to solve of variety of problems, including network traffic analysis, log analysis, open source intelligence, scanning and reconnaissance, wireless access exploitation, cryptology, password tracking, web application exploitation, and enumeration and exploitation.

Network Infrastructure (NETI) Students will attempt to complete 10 networking tasks based on the CCENT Net Riders competition and Cisco 2 course final -- 6 Base Performance tasks scored based on completion quality and time to complete (tasks individually timed), 4 Advanced Configuration Tasks, scored on completion quality.

Server Administration (SVAD) Students will compete against the clock to build and establish Windows and/or Linux servers with a central authentication system such as Microsoft Active Directory Network or Linux equivalent including Kerberos with LDAP or FreeIPA to the specifications listed. Teams will be presented with Basic tasks and Advanced tasks, with points awarded for successful completion.
