  13. In engineering, there is a separation between engineering degrees
  14. and engineering technology degrees.  I think we need the same
  15. distinction in computer science.  Many (most?) CS graduates
  16. go to work as applications programmers and could benefit from
  17. less theoretical computer science and more practical work in
  18. related areas (business OR engineering OR physics OR...)
