Eric Schwartz Named UF Teacher of the Year

Eric M. Schwartz, assistant director of the Machine Intelligence Laboratory (MIL), is one of three faculty members named UF Teacher of the Year for 2002-2003.

Schwartz, a lecturer in Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE), has taught at UF since 1995. He is a UF alumnus, receiving bachelor’s degrees in electrical and mechanical engineering in 1984. He also received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from UF, in 1989 and 1995, respectively.

Schwartz is very enthusiastic about his students and about MIL. “MIL makes it all happen,” he says. “I can inspire students in class because of the work we do in the lab.” Schwartz also credits his own mentors, “great professors, Tony Arroyo, Keith Doty, Tom Bullock, and John O’Malley,” for influencing his teaching today.

“He’s tough, but he’s the most beloved teacher in the department,” says MIL director Tony Arroyo. “He comes to work earlier and leaves later than anyone else, and his office is always full of students. His commitment is unbelievable,” Arroyo says.

“Dr. Schwartz is an extremely innovative teacher,” says Professor Martin Uman, ECE chairman. “We are very pleased that he received this recognition.”
