Carroll served as Dean of the College of Engineering at UTA from January 1, 2000 to August 31, 2011. During his service as dean, the College of Engineering experienced an enrollment growth of more than fifty percent, an increase of research expenditures from under $10M per year to more than $40M per year, and a growth of the faculty of about sixty percent. Over the same period, capital projects totaling more than $180M were started and completed. Bob P. Weems, University of Texas, Arlington Bob Weems is an associate professor in the Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering at UTA, com- mencing his career in 1985 after completing a PhD in CS at Northwestern University. His present inter- ests are in algorithms, data structures, online computation, and preference-based matching. He served as the department’s associate chair from 2001-2010. He is involved with the evolution of the department’s undergraduate programs in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Software Engineering.
