TI Analog Design Contest
The TI Analog Design Contest is a competition for electrical engineering and engineering students from Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It is sponsored by Texas Instruments and Mouser Electronics .
Students can gain experience while working on their design project. They should use the analog and embedded ICs ( integrated circuits ).
The 2012 winners
A total of 500 students from 115 universities took part in the TI Analog Design Contest in 2012. It was won by a team from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium. The winners created a wireless data acquisition system for improved patient comfort. The students Hans De Clercq, Piet Callemeyn and Jereon Lecoutere received 10,000 US dollars in prize money for their design . They designed sensors that are placed in infants' pajamas. The most important vital functions of infants can be monitored via a radio system. Thus, the early infant death of babies in hospitals can be avoided.
Competition 2013
The student groups compete for cash prizes. The 2013 competition consists of two rounds. In the first round, 20 winning teams are selected. You receive $ 1,000 and advance to the second round. There will be four groups of winners in the final round. The first place team will receive $ 10,000. The student team in second place wins $ 5,000. The teams in third and fourth place will each receive $ 2,500.
Registration deadline 2013
In 2013, the registration deadline was February 28th. Participants must have a good command of English as a report must be written in English. The winners of the first round will be announced on September 30, 2013, and those of the final round on October 31, 2013.
The TI Analog Design Contest in America
In America there has been an Analog Design Contest every year since 2008. However, it was only available to participants from the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Since the competition was a great success, it was also held in EMEA for the first time in 2012 . In America, the rules differ a little from those that apply to German participants. The reports of the American winners of the past few years are published on the Internet.
