So the EE/CS undergrad program I did was heavily-analytical:
- It included the entire advanced level chem, physics and stats series for scientists and engineers.
- It was two elective courses shy of a math degree, including abstract math, concrete math, and tensor math.
- Only a few courses shy of a physics degree as well.
- The entire EE track and entire CS track of course.
- Writing lots of code for multiplatform portable code including Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, SGI, and some MINIX 2.
I think they should make it a mandatory combined undergrad /Masters' or /PhD program to be of sufficient depth into research achievement and breadth of knowledge to be useful in industry that cannot be achieved in the absence of an advanced degree. I think most of the undergrad CS knowledge can be acquired by osmosis in industry or self-study without a degree.
