To play devil's advocate... I think the experience of the designer and CS student working together to see a project through to implementation is invaluable to each in many ways. Especially with something like a website or app.
I can see this one either way. When feasible, maybe students should be encouraged to see something through. If that means going as far as high fidelity prototypes in Flash, etc and then working with a few others to actually build, launch and get a real reaction from the product, then great. That type of experience would be excellent for any designer, and an asset to a graduate wanting to work in industry.

That is the job of the computer science student standing before a thesis board in the next room...
