Quality IT education strikes out

摘要

The next crop of university-trained IT graduates knows even less about the basics than their predecessors. Many CS and IT majors dropped out of college with partially completed degrees, taking their semi-formed educations into the IT industry, earning more than the professors they left behind. Without a solid foundational education in CS and IT principles, it is virtually impossible for curriculum committees to understand and develop undergraduate curricula that provides the remaining CS and IT students with both the broad and deep understanding of technology they need to survive in the IT industry or to go on to advanced degrees in CS and IT.
