During the recent fall 2024 commencement ceremonies, computer science got a special moment in the spotlight, thanks to featured speaker Eddie Villarreal MS’24.
Villarreal spoke at both commencement ceremonies on Dec. 17, having graduated from the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science with a master’s degree in software engineering.
Several computer science graduates worked as student web developers in the Jonsson School’s Office of Strategic Marketing and Communications during the 2024 academic year. We caught up with three of them to find out what they would take away from their time at UT Dallas.
Jason Thanh Nguyen BS’24 intends to apply the skills he acquired through study as well as his work in the Jonsson School to further his career. “This experience taught me how to adapt my communication style to suit different roles and perspectives, ensuring that everyone was aligned toward a common goal,” Nguyen said. “This will be a valuable skillset that will be very helpful for me in my career after graduation.”
A team of three University of Texas at Dallas computer science students has qualified to compete in the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) World Finals in Egypt in November.
The students ranked 12th in the ICPC North America Championship in May. The team scored higher than any other Texas university team and finished alongside teams from the nation’s top-ranked computer science programs — ahead of the University of California, Berkeley and one spot below Harvard University.
