The IEEE Region 8 Student and Young Professional Congress 2014 took place in Krakow from August 4th until August 10th. Passau was represented by six student branch members. To present their activities at the congress, each branch was asked to create a poster before traveling to Krakow.

On 07/06/2014, this time as part of the campus festival, our Eggdrop Contest took place for the 5th time in bright sunshine. Nine teams took on the task of building a construction (called an Eggdropper) that would protect a raw egg from a fall of 20 meters. In the end, four of the nine teams succeeded.
To quickly and safely bring the Eggdroppers to drop height above the forecourt of the Audimax, an aerial ladder from the Passau Volunteer Fire Department was used.
At the 17th of June 2014 we organized the FIM Barbecue Party together with the Fachschaft Informatik.
Professors, research assistants and students met at the place between
the FIM and the ITZ eating steaks and sausages and drinking beer. Even though the weather was not perfect at first, over 100 people
attended the party.
Along with food and drink, we saw to fun and excitement organizing the first Beer-Box-Far-Piling-Event.
SC02825The band Chord Dump which consists of members of the faculty entertained us with live music.
Like last year the IEEE SB Passau provides an Advent calender. “Code, no chocolate!” – There are 24 tasks to solve and everyone is invited to take part in this competition.
Every day at 0:00 o’clock there will be a new programmers task. You may solve it in Java, Python, C, C++ or PHP. The code is tested by us and accepted if the task is solved correctly. Of course there will be an award for the best coders.
JRobot Coding Convention The current JRobots-Framework
One team, one robot, one arena. Within four hours the participants develop a control algorithm for a Java-bot - target acquisition, path finding and everything which is helpful for a robot to hold its ground.
Several methods are provided for controlling your bot: you can move it, you can use the radar to find your enemies and you can control the fat rocket launcher mounted onto your bot to give your enemy hell.
We want to thank our Sponsor CipSoft for paying for the gadgets and the pizza!
JRobots Coding Convention The current JRobots-Framework
A team, a bot and an arena. During four hours, the participants developed algorithms for a Java-Bot – Aiming, driving and shooting have to be perfect so a bot can stand its ground.
Your bot can drive around, can find the enemy with its scanner and is equipped with a fat cannon to kick you enemies ass.
The IEEE Student Branch Passau hosts the so called Egg-Drop-Contest, where you have to protect chickens eggs when they are dropped from a height of \ [STRIKEOUT:10] [STRIKEOUT:15] 20 meters. The eggs will be put into a so called egg-dropper, any kind of construct, built by you, to protect the egg, and then, the whole thing will be dropped. The one who built the best egg-dropper will win. They will be ranked by the effectiveness of the protection and the creativity.

eekendOfCode| The Weekend of Code is about writing a program from
Friday Evening until Sunday Morning which will be scored by several different criteria (usability, efficency, creativity, …). The best teams (up to 7 people) will be rewarded.
Allowed are programs of all kind in every programming language. But consider that a program written in Brainfuck may get better a score than a program in Java.
Beside the competition the exchange between the teams is also an important aspect.
