2016 Fall University Programming Contest

The Fall University Programming Contest (UPC), was held on Wednesday, November 16, 2016 at the College of IT between 11am-3pm. This year we have invited teams from Abu Dhabi University (ADU) Al Ain campus and Al Ain University (AAU). The contest provided an excellent opportunity for students to show their problem solving and programming skills. The contest also aims at preparing our students for similar national and international competitions. This year we had a very successful contest. Twenty eight teams (18 female teams, 10 male teams total 76 students) participated in the contest. This is the largest participation so far in any UPC. We accommodated the students in three labs; the contest software was PC^2, and development platforms were Netbeans (Java) and DevCPP(C/C++). The majority of participating students were from our college but we had students from other colleges. We had 3 teams from AAU, and 1 team ADU and the remaining teams from UAE University.
