Objective:
iCompete is a technical contest hosted by iHub & IEEE ASU branch targeting 2nd and also 3rd year students. iCompete consists of 9 different tracks, in each one students will be faced with a challenging problem with the goal to find the most efficient solution to that problem, these challenges are determined and judged by our industrial partners.
iCompete can be considered as a selection phase for the internships program.
