Robert Hochberg teaches at the University of Dallas, and directs the computer science program there.

The University of Dallas is a small, private liberal arts school with about 1300 undergraduate students. Our CS major is in its 5th year. Our school has a large Core Curriculum that all students must take, which leaves not too much room for computer science classes.

This creates an interesting difficulty: We have no room to require all students to take courses such as Software Engineering, Databases or Networking. Instead, we have used projects such as High Performance Computing and Computer Vision as a vehicle to introduce these ideas. HFOSS, in particular the MouseTrap project, will be another way to supplement our students' learning. But more than just being another way, it is probably going to be a better way. Our school tends to attract students who want to make the world a better place.
