Project proposal: Student Design Contest is designed to encourage engineering and computer science students attending the Southern California Universities & Colleges (undergraduates & graduates) to work on a new design (paper design is also accepted) and present their work at the 6th International System-on-Chip (SoC) Conference via a poster display.

The design projects could be a chip-level design, a board-level design (microprocessor or microcontroller based, etc.), a software project, or a detailed technology analysis/research.

Each project will be judged based on its overall complexity, originality, and completion of the work.
