Baldwin Wallace Student ACM Chapter
The Computer Science Club became an official student chapter of ACM, the
leading organization for computer professionals, in 2004. It continues to
be a very active departmental organization.
Major projects for the chapter each year typically include:
CyberSec
CyberSec is the Cybersecurity competitive group lead
by Professor Atchinson.
The CyberSec teams competes in the following annual competitions:
- CCDC - Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition
- CPTC - Collegiate Penetration Testing Competition
- CyberForce - Department of Energy Cyber Defense Competition
- DevNetSec Lockdown - A CCDC-like Competition head at SUNY Buffalo
- NCL - National Cyber League
The CyberSec teams have won many competitions. In CCDC, the CyberSec
team placed 1st place in the Regional CCDC and placed 9th place in the
National CCDC competition. In CPTC, the team placed 2nd place in the
Regional CPTC and 9th place in the National CPTC. In NCL, the team
placed 1st place Nationally.
Programming Team
Computer science students at Baldwin Wallace have been participating in
collegiate programming competitions for almost two decades.
Each fall, one or more teams compete at the
the regional-level of the ACM International Programming
Contest. Our region (East Central Region) includes teams from some
premiere computing
institutions, including Carnegie Melon, University of
Waterloo, University of Michigan, Purdue, etc. Since 2009, Muskingum has hosted an annual "warm-up" to the regional contest.
BW also competes regularly in contests held at Ohio liberal arts
institutions. In the fall, teams prepare for the regional ACM contest at the Annual Muskingum Programming Contest. In February, BW teams travel to the Annual Denison Spring
Programming Contest followed, about a month later, by the Annual Ohio Wesleyan Programming Contest.
