Project Management with SimProject Competition

The MWC3 Conference Committee recognize the impressive growth, application, and overall utility of AI in shortening the time to completion of projects both professionally and academically. The use of Generative AI has increased dramatically in recent years. Students, employees, and organizations are leveraging tools such as ChatGPT, DeepMind, Gemini, Copilot, Bard, DALL-E, and Midjourney to supplement their own skillsets and produce greater volumes of work.

With that said, we and our cooperative organizations jointly decided to prohibit/ban the use of Generative AI from MWC3 competitions.

The competitions at MWC3 are primarily focused on and tailored to the knowledge bases and skillsets of undergraduate students from 2 & 4-year schools. The purpose of these competitions is to gauge, test, and present appropriate challenges for this level of student understanding. They also allow students to detect their own deficiencies and strengths. Students will need to possess a solid understanding of the fields they are competing in on their own merits to truly discover where their strengths and weaknesses lie, such that they may better develop themselves for the professional world in which they are seeking careers

Therefore, the usage of Generative AI to assist in the answering, production, and development of student submissions is PROHIBITED from all competitions unless otherwise stated by the individual competitions’ overview and instructions. This includes but is not limited to tools like ChatGPT, DeepMind, Gemini, Copilot, Bard, DALL-E, and Midjourney regardless of whether they are integrated into other pieces of software or standalone. You may not use standalone versions and you must disable any AI that is integrated into other software. Violation of this ban will result in the forfeiture of the competitor in that competition. We reserve the right to examine competition related network traffic data during this event. Certain web domain access may be blocked as well.
