The ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ACM ICPC) is an annual competition organized by the prestigious and authoritative Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). It aims to showcase college students' innovation abilities, team spirit, and their capacity to write programs, analyze, and solve problems under pressure, with the goal of cultivating a new generation of talents in the fields of science and information technology. This competition has now evolved into one of the world's most renowned, long-standing, and influential computer contests for university students.
The ACM ICPC Regional Contests serve as qualifiers for the ACM ICPC World Finals. The regional contests are divided into two stages: the first stage is an online preliminary competition, where top-ranked schools earn the qualification to send teams to the second stage; the second stage is an on-site final. In recent years, mainland China has had five competition regions.
In the 2020 ACM ICPC Regional Contests, Zhang Tianyu and Zhang Shixin from the Class of 2020 Computer Science major, along with Wang Chikelei from the Communication major at the Weihai Campus, won a bronze award.
