Dubai Electronic Security Center – Cyber Security Challenge
Machine learning techniques have been successfully implemented in various applications across multiple industries, including but not limited to cyber security. According to Gartner, anomaly detection using simple techniques is not as affective because of the nature in level of disruptions that cannot be predicted. Moreover, systems that implement advanced anomaly detection are more affective because it can detect certain anomalies that were previously not noticed. Based on previous research studies, machine learning can be used to detect anomaly within a network. Certain sources have identified probabilistic models and machine learning algorithms that focuses on anomaly detection (in this challenge you are not limited with the algorithms in the sources mentioned). In the past, researchers and experts have set thresholds using statistical models such as T-digest in order to identify anomalies. An example of statistical model used in anomaly detection is Multivariate statistical analysis and another example of a machine learning algorithm is Artificial Neural Network. |

Industrial Design Project (IDP) Competition
The global industries’ vision towards self-driving/autonomous cars has dramatically increased in the last few years. We can see big companies such as Google and Tesla taking big leaps in this particular field. On one hand, the idea of this Industrial Design Project (IDP) is to increase the students’ knowledge and experience in this field and to prepare them for the market. On the other hand, it will provide the industry with competent engineers in this field. |
Engineering Design Project (EDP) Competition
This competition is intended to give students an opportunity to explore the art, science and hence infinite possibilities of system design. The objective of this project is to build a cost-effective and efficient wind powered waterwheel that lifts water between two levels.
Students in the first/second year of their engineering education are particularly encouraged to participate. They will be able to show their creativity, innovative designs and have fun!
A panel of three judges, to be selected by the IEEE UAE Students Day steering committee, will assess the entries to the competition. The competition rules, the criteria that will be used for judging the entries and the evaluators form are given below.
Software Engineering Project (SEP) Competition
The usage of online banking became one of our daily life routines. The ability to transfer money, pay the bills or even use the smartphone as an e-Wallet has never been easier.
In this project, students are required to demonstrate their skills in software to develop a user-friendly banking system. The system is accessible using a website and a mobile application, each developed separately but reads/writes data from the same database and is equipped with a chat bot that assists the user in making their decisions.
Senior Design Project (SDP) Competition
This competition is intended to give students in the Senior Year of their undergraduate study program the opportunity to demonstrate their graduation projects through a poster and/or an actual demo of the system.
Common Design Project Competition
Design and implement an algorithm for a small logistic robot that will detect, pickup and deliver specific objects to their correct distention. Two colored drop-off zones will be placed along a number of colored objects on a 6x6 matrix as shown in the figure below.
The robot must, autonomously pick up the colored objects and drop them off to the same colored drop-off zone. The robot must follow the black lines that defines the matrix. The robot can be equipped with any robot arm, camera or sensor that will allow it to autonomously do its specific task.
The scope of community service is broad enough to allow student teams to serve either a particular section of the community or the community at large in a variety of ways. However, the service rendered must be significant and its contribution must be appreciated by the community receiving the service. Also, the service must have been offered during the present academic year.
Two teams from each institution can participate in the Community Service Competition. Each team shall comprise of a maximum of 4 students. They must be IEEE student members. The competition is meant to emphasize the role of engineering students in serving the community and to recognize those students who carry out community services in UAE.
