I see this as a Good Thing, but not for IT or IS curricula - just CS. We have recently increased the rigor of our CS curriculum. We make our students, in addition to taking 2 semesters each of calculus and physics, and a semester of Discrete Structures, take one of 1) Analysis of Algorithms 2) Numerical Software Engineering (my class) I just finished the latter last week and will talk about it at an upcoming academic conference. I made it very applied, and they complained a little about it being mathy, but hey - it was good for them! Now they will be responsible the next time they use floating-point! -- Best regards, Chuck _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
