Teaching Computer Science at a Small University
Briner, Jack V., Jr.; Roberts, James E.; Worthy, Fred
Association of Small Computer Users in Education (ASCUE), 38th, Myrtle Beach, SC, June 12-16, 2005
Small universities do not have all of the resources that larger ones do. There are fewer computers, fewer teachers, fewer technicians and of course less money. Charleston Southern University (CSU) seeks to be one of the smallest universities to meet national accreditation standards in computer science (ABET-CAC). This presentation will provide a history of how the department has grown and demonstrate how we use labs that are much smaller and less well equipped than any accredited program in computer science. We will demonstrate the use of virtual machine software (VMware and Virtual PC) to reduce the amount of hardware required to run an effective lab, the use of instructor controlled labs (using NetSupport), show the importance of using software alliances (Microsoft) to achieve excellence without all of the expense.
