  • Abstract
    Cross-disciplinary connections and collaborations that place Computer Science (CS) in a real world context is a skill required of our graduates. Collaboration between disciplines implies building diverse teams that function in a real world context. Ultra mobile platforms and open source components provide us with an opportunity to connect to other disciplines and refashion our curriculum. In addition to focusing on the CS core, students may again see the connection between CS and getting useful things done. In this paper we will share a set of evolutionary changes to modernize our approach to CS.
