Love 'em or hate 'em, computers are part of everyone's lives and perhaps nowhere more so than in Bilkent's engineering departments, where students and faculty not only use computers but try to develop ever more sophisticated applications.
Today we invite you to view some of these computer programs for yourselves. Please take a few minutes to wander around the exhibition organized as part of Software Quest'99, the 4th Annual Bilkent Programming Contest. We think you will be impressed with what you see, particularly when you consider that many of the projects on display were done as part of the first year programming class, some by students who had not touched a computer before coming to Bilkent!
The exhibition will open at noon and continue until 5:30 p.m. in the Engineering Computer Lab, room EA421. Visitors from industry, as well as faculty, students, and the public are invited to select their "favorite" projects. The award ceremony will begin at 5:45 with a speech by Emrehan Halİcİ, followed by a fun, TV-style trivia quiz open to everyone. We will select four teams of contestants at random. If you think you know a little about computers, get together with friends to form a group of three and fill in the entry forms available at the exhibition. Example questions and more information about the contest can be found on the Web at http://goto.bilkent.edu.tr.
Even if you don't want to take part, come along and watch as we take a sometimes irreverent look at the machine that has come to dominate all our lives!
