A lot of the dissatisfaction with computer science comes from the misplaced expectation that a computer science graduate will be a good programmer. Computer science and software engineering are very different disciplines. Software engineering teaches the process of developing software, in terms of both tools and processes. A computer science course only briefly touches on these topics, in the same way that a materials physicist may learn something of mechanical engineering.
David Chisnell focuses on the education of Mort. Perhaps teaching software engineering requires something more agile than traditional classrooms. via
