Dr. David Janzen taught this class at UoK and is now teaching the Senior Level SE class at Cal Poly in SLO where we build software for a major company of the course of the whole year.
The Software Engineering degree at Cal Poly (the SLO one) is a perfect example of what you are talking about. Its the CSC curriculum with some of the more archaic theory of computation classes exchanged for SE classes. In the last year, a series of 3 quarter classes prepare the student for a career in SE by allowing the class to develop software for a company. Last year it was Trimble GPS. This year it is Intuit. All of the source control of CVS and SVN that people have mentioned here are covered by the sophomore year.
If you're looking at undergrad colleges in CS, give Cal Poly a good look. Especially Software Engineering.
Not to mention the SE grads have been consistently starting at ~75K right out of school...
I have never played Deus Ex, but I have played almost all of the rest of those games to completion...without a doubt Xenogears is the most thought-provoking, intricate, and truly awesome story of all time. I really wish they had given it more than just an honorable mention.
yeah, you're right...we should judge schools based on the quality of other schools approximately 100 miles away. Come on, lets face it...Berkeley sucks because it's within 100 miles of Sacramento St. UCLA is just too close to Cal State Long Beach for my liking. And frankly with all of those B colleges so close to MIT, I can't even fathom how crappy of a school it must be.
CPSLO was the first. It continues to consistently outrank Pomona in nearly every discipline. It also continues to outrank Pomona in starting salaries for its graduates.
For the forseeable future, Cal Poly (yes, that is its name. Pomona is Cal Poly Pomona) will continue to be the best (read: highest ranked among smart people) Cal State school.
note: this statement has no application to UC or private schools.
They recruit from the CSC/CPE dept there a lot...not many volunteer.
Some people even use CubeSat as their Senior Project. How disappointing to watch your senior project go up because of a(nother) French mistake.
bastards.
