Actually they don't teach this stuff any more (at least they haven't yet 
and I'm in my 3rd semester). That's why I plan to take data structures 
and algorithms and software engineering fundamentals as electives in the 
hope that they do cover it. If they don't I'll just have to settle for 
the progsoc library. Nowadays they just teach Java.
