Executive Position Applications
Interested in becoming a PSC executive?
You will learn how an organization works internally,
how to plan and prepare for events as a team, network with sponsors,
and earn CCR hours. From working with the CPSC department to hosting
workshops, you’ll pick up many new skills as an executive.
As an executive, you will attend weekly Wednesday meetings, aid in
preparing for programming contests (CCPC & ACPC), help new members
get settled in, and learn the ins and outs of what makes us the
Problem Solving Club. Along with that, you can help out with workshops,
and possibly work on our website, leaderboard, or anything else that
you are interested in.
Please apply by January 31, 2017 in order to be considered for a position.
Wednesday Meeting - Dynamic Programming
This Wednesday, November 16, Dr. Hoyer will be teaching a session on
dynamic programming.
Dynamic programming problems are quite prevalent in both programming
contests and in technical interviews at companies like Facebook, Google,
Microsoft, etc., so having a good understanding will make you really stand
out.
To give perspective, there were two dynamic programming problems in the last
ACPC, and the top 3 teams were the ones who were able to solve those problems.
Understanding how to solve these problems might make the difference between
placing 15th and in the top 3.
