2023 IEEE GAMESIG INTERCOLLEGIATE COMPUTER GAME COMPETITION SHOWCASE
Register: Event Registration Form
Virtual Event Details
Are you involved with Computer Game Development? Do you know of staff or students at academic institutions who are? If so, please share this information on this event with them so they can attend this year’s Competition. The top 10 of this year’s entries of games submitted will compete and be judged by professionals from the Computer Game Development industry.
Building on the success of last year’s competition, this year’s is also being held in a Hybrid format! We’ll be in-person at California State University, Fullerton, and virtual in Twitch/Discord.
The IEEE GameSIG Intercollegiate Game [Developers] Competition, now in its eleventh year, is an educational outreach project of IEEE GameSIG (which is part of the Orange County IEEE Computer Society, but does not geographically limit competing teams). The purpose of this event is to help students develop and demonstrate their skills at game design, development and promotion. They are challenged to show off a playable level of a game, live, in front of an audience of experienced game industry personnel and guests (which are hoping you will join). The Computer Society Publication Office produced a 9 minute Youtube video about a previous live Competition/Showcase which is available at 2013 IEEE Intercollegiate Game Showcase.
The competition typically attracts 30 to 50 entries, from which the top ten are chosen to present their work to the “live” audience and judges. Three primary awards are given, plus a series of special awards for unique achievements. These special awards are different each year based on the nature of what the developers are showing. Their is also a People’s Choice Award. More details on the competition can be found at GameSIGshowcase.org.
This year’s showcase will be hosted from the California State University, Fullerton, and held Online via Twitch.
The Twitch stream will start at 1:00 PM (PT) and end by 5:30 PM (PT).
Registered individuals will receive reminders about the Showcase as we get closer to the event, with the Twitch link provided the night before the Showcase. The Twitch stream will be public.
Suggested Attendance fee is $25.00 for in-person attendance; there is no charge for virutal attendance, and for students, the under-employed, judges, staff and invited guests.
For those qualifying for free attendance, select “Regular Ticket – 0 USD” as the “Registration Fee”.

The web of interconnections between today’s technology and society is upending many traditional ways of doing things:
The internet of things, bitcoin, the sharing economy, and connected autonomous vehicles are increasingly in the public mind.
As such, computer scientists and engineers must be increasingly conscious of the interplay between the technical performance of their systems and the personal objectives of users, customers, and adversaries.
Dr Brown will present recent work studying the design tradeoffs faced by a planner who wishes to influence and optimize the behavior of a group of self-interested individuals.
A key goal is to balance the potential benefits of implementing a given behavior-influencing scheme with its potential costs; seeking to systematically avoid schemes which are likely to create perverse incentives.
Dr. Brown will explore these concepts in two contexts: routing of autonomous vehicles in mixed-autonomy transportation networks and decision design for communication-denied distributed multiagent systems.
He will ask “when is altruism good?” through the lens of the Price of Anarchy and a new conceptual framework that is termed the “Perversity Index,” which captures the potential harm that an incentive scheme may cause.
Ultimately, this work seeks to develop foundations for a theory of robust socially-networked systems which leverages the decision processes of automated components to enhance overall system reliability and performance.

16 February 2023: Daniel Thomson – Rising Stars Conference Report
State of the Pikes Peak Section – Dr. John Santiago
The briefing below also serves as an early-bird celebration of Engineering week!
Logo Description on Certificate of Appreciation.
Logo adapted from Dr John Santiago entrepreneurial experience when coming for his business logos.
Using the Sierpinski Equilateral Triangle, you can also form a Pyramid (or Tetrahedral). The tetrahedral model was also used in Dr. Santiago’s dissertation of modeling and evaluating control strategies of Large-Scale Flexible Space Structures.
For most undergraduates, the logo shape looks like a diamond…implying that engineering is hard and valuable.
After graduating from an engineering school, the logo looks like a Superman Shield… where folks assume you have superpowers as an engineer
The eagle represents the powerful technical skillset.
The owl represents the entrepreneurial mindset (or growth and leadership mindset) to provide career direction and motivating in keeping your technical skillset sharp.
Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) Framework:
- Skillset + Mindset = Career Success
- Tandem Bicycle is visual communication of the KEEN framework.
- Skillset is the back-seater provides power and is like the magnitude and front-seater provides direction.
- Both riders (skillset and mindset) provide a vector for career success
On the logo is the three-headed eagle which also represents the model by our Founders to create a government that never was.
Our country’s Founders designed a government and provided an environment to unleash the creativity and entrepreneurial mindset of ‘WE THE PEOPLE’
Gif image below is same as the above video, but you cannot pause…goes on continuously.

Using Tech to Engage Students While Being Mindful of Cognitive Load, 17 Nov 2022, United States Air Force Academy (USAFA)
Dr. John Santiago, as an IEEE representative, gave a presentation at USAF Academy during the annual Scholarship of Learning And Teaching (SoTL).
A short video of the presentation is shown below after the description of the talk.
The intent of this talk will show how leveraging internet marketing technologies and green-screen techniques for engaging content while proving guidelines from cognitive load theory. The presentation serves as an example in support of traditional or online flipped approach with encouragement of an entrepreneurial (or growth) mindset.
In business applications, internet marketing software tools are presented for online multi-media content to capture customer attention. Rather than passively watching a short video, add interactive embedded learning elements within the video to increase student engagement. For example, adding interactive techniques with embedded ‘hot links’ within a video can promote student attentiveness. The teaching innovation allows students to have options or call-to-actions such as: watching more videos, perusing other forms of content, or taking a short quiz or other assessment activity. When developing content, the instructor needs to consider Cognitive Load Theory such as: modality principle, split attention, reversal effect, redundancy effect, self-explanation/mental rehearsal (weekly quizzes/lab activities), and learner control.
For example, interactive video was used to engage learners in controlling pacing and content. Having a variety of content working in tandem with interactive video adds an element of surprise to engage the user. Busy background and other distractions were also avoided. Interactive video includes clickable, clear and concise e-learning questions. A series of short videos are not enough.
Weekly quizzes are needed. Why the interest? Given the COVID/pandemic environment, diversity of online strategies/approaches are needed for engaging content development working in tandem with collaboration tools.

An EXCOM Meeting was held on 23 Aug 2022. The primary focus for the meeting was understanding the budgeting process for student simulation projects with regards to the National Museum of WWII Aviation. The proposed project was presented by David Bondurant, Life Member Affinity Group (LMAG) Chair and John Reinert, Section Treasurer, explained the budgeting process to all of the members. The meeting clarified the budgeting process for future propostals involving outreach or other activities. John Reinert intends to provide more guidance on David Bondurant’s proposal. The guidance will include a blank project proposal form (the Region PACE Project form) along with a filled-out example for the Science Olympiad. David also mentioned there are forms for the Computer Society and Life Members. John will also do a summary follow-up to the EXCOM. Basically, reiterating that the EXCOM members are supporting the project in concept and will need to see the proposal. This meeting and follow-up activities will serve in documenting the budget process.
UPDATE: As discussed above, you can find a blank project proposal form (the Region PACE Project form) and filled-out example for the Science Olympiad here.
A joint Life Member Affinity Group, Computer Society and Section meeting was held on 28 July 2022 to hear a presentation on simulation projects for the National Museum of WWII Aviation. A simulation project was proposed to involve IEEE Student Branches and Section members. The presentation was given by Verne Patterson from the museum.
The Museum has involved 110 University of Colorado-Colorado Springs engineering students over the last 7 years in the development of it’s interactive exhibits. One example is Kevyn Kelso, a computer engineering major who enrolled in a class called Senior Design Project. He chose to work at the Museum for his final project and was assigned the Norden Bombsight Simulator Project team. Past students were involved with creating a 3-D printed replica of the Norden Bombsight used by bombardiers to accurately land bombs. Kevyn joined 4 other students in developing the computer imaging of a B-17 dropping bombs on a target using real physics for bomb trajectory based on inputs from the replica Norden Bombsight.

IEEE Pikes Peak Section Meeting & Tribute to Navy Veteran & 2007 IEEE*USA President John Meredith
A Great Leader Who Builds & Motivates Other Leaders
During September 2018, Professor Santiago will Chair for the IEEE Pikes Peak Section with John Meredith as Vice Chair starting in 2019. As a long-term strategic plan, Professor John Santiago was going to handle the outreach community programs to educate parents and their kids emphasizing what engineering and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) is all about. John Meredith will handle setting up the technical session activities. The partnership was planned as a team effort. John Meredith set up the following first IEEE technical session held at CTU while Professor Santiago hosted and handled the local logistics:
IEEE Pikes Peak Section Two-Part Meeting, September 27. Part 1: Cybersecurity: Threat and Risk Management and Part 2: “The President’s Forum” – A Three-Hour Live Video Conference with the IEEE President, Jim Jefferies and senior leadership. Key topics for Part 1from the presenter, Michael G. Semmens include: the nature of cyber threats, priorities for cybersecurity & the national cyber exchange.
After Professor Santiago completed the Manitou Incline on 26 September 2018, he found that John Meredith, died that same day. Unknown to Professor Santiago, John Meredith has been suffering a blood infection during the past eleven days. Two weeks before John Meredith died what was planned as a family event, the blood infection started. Also, before John Meredith left for his planned family event, one of the last request by John Meredith to Professor Santiago was to take a group photo of the Cybersecurity Meeting. Professor Santiago honored his request with the photo shown below. Before the presentation started, a 1-minute moment of silence was given and a short video clip of John Meredith was shown offering best wishes to IEEE 125th Anniversary in 2008. The planned meeting proceeded as John Meredith would have wanted.
Information about John Meredith used with permission by his wife, Lorraine.
