Webinar on “Problem Solving, Data Structure & Algorithm” Successfully Conducted
The Department of Cyber Security Engineering, UFTB, in partnership with the Cyber Security Club and the Cyber Intelligence Innovation and Research Lab, hosted the webinar “Problem Solving, Data Structure & Algorithm” on 27th January 2026 via Zoom.
The session was conducted by Md. Ashikujjaman Nur, a Codeforces Expert (handle: ashiknur) and Champion of Techfest IIT Bombay Bangladesh Zonal 2024, DU Robotronics Line Following Robot 2025, and Micromouse 2025.
During the webinar, the speaker primarily focused on how to approach competitive programming problems, how to effectively use Codeforces, and which aspects to analyze before solving a problem. He explained problem-solving techniques, including how to efficiently understand problem statements and break problems into smaller, logical steps.
Special emphasis was given to time complexity and Memory Usage, where the instructor demonstrated how to analyze constraints and choose optimal algorithms accordingly. Several live problem-solving demonstrations (3–4 problems) were conducted, helping participants understand real-time thinking processes and implementation strategies.
Additionally, the speaker shared valuable resources, including guidelines on what to practice, step-by-step instructions on improving problem-solving skills, and strategies for staying consistent in competitive programming. Practical tips on contest participation and a learning roadmap were also discussed.
Students participated enthusiastically in the webinar, creating an interactive and engaging learning environment.
This initiative reflects the continuous effort of the Department of Cyber Security Engineering and associated technical bodies to enhance students’ analytical thinking, algorithmic skills, and preparedness for competitive programming and technical careers.
