EasyIC organizes student project competitions to promote excellence in microelectronics and electronic systems design in Romania. The 2020 competition was open to all undergraduate students enrolled in electronics or microelectronics related courses at the University Transilvania of Brasov. Students could submit an individual development project undertaken as part of their undergraduate studies and submitted to their college. The projects had a microelectronics or an electronic systems basis, with the focus being on a visual presentation of the students designs, concepts and results versus a written presentation.
The winners were selected from a shortlist of entries that presented their projects online to an EasyIC adjudication panel. The panel was made up of senior technical members of EasyIC staff. The judging criteria included: novelty of the problem addressed, creativity and quality of the project solution, execution of the project, issues addressed during project execution.
