| About CCDC |

To compete in the Midwest Regional CCDC, a team must first compete in one of three State CCDC competitions – Minnesota-Wisconsin, Illinois-Indiana, and Michigan-Ohio. The top two winners from each State Competition will compete in the Midwest CCDC Regional. The Midwest Regional CCDC is a two day event and the first competition that specifically focuses on the operational aspect of managing and protecting an existing “commercial” network infrastructure. Not only do students get a chance to test their knowledge in an operational environment, they will also get a chance to network with industry professionals who are always on the look out for up and coming engineers. CCDC provides a unique opportunity for students and industry professionals to interact and discuss many of the security and operational challenges the students will soon face as they enter the job market. CCDC not only benefits the students involved, but will also benefit corporations as these graduates will be bringing a more experienced skill set to their jobs upon beginning their employment. CCDC also provides direct feedback for schools to exercise, reinforce, and examine their security and information technology curriculum. |
