CSE Programming Teams Won HKUST Champion University Award at IBM DB2 UDB Inter-University Programming Contest 2009

The IBM DB2 UDB Inter-University Programming Contest 2009 was held on February 6, 2009. The annual contest is the second to be held in Hong Kong and it is open to full-time undergraduate students attending an accredited education institution in Hong Kong or Macau. This year, the contest attracted 37 teams from seven universities in Hong Kong and one university in Macau. The objective of the contest is to challenge students, working in teams of three, to solve real-world database programming problems with the latest relational database technologies in a given time frame. Each university was allowed to send five teams to the event.

The teams from HKUST achieved great success this year and won the Champion University Award in the contest. They obtained the highest combined scores in comparison with all the teams from the other universities. We are grateful for contributions from all our team members.
