>>11698080>physicsTrue, but it's better than nothing. All C"S" kids know is "import physicsUtil as pu"
>signal processingYeah, and a bit of control theory, programming SP in matlab, noise reduction, a bit of how signals are sent/received. Actually now that I think about it, our class was difficult enough that it was completely open book, the problems were at a level that memorizing a table would do nothing by itself.
>semiconductorsYou're right, but the guy who taught it at our school was a literal genius who got his phd from the university of seoul, one of the hardest universities in the world. The diode, mosfet, and amplifier problems were the easy shit if anything. The physics problems relating to p/n, doping, electron movement, that was the hard stuff. And no grade scaling, we couldn't get a 17/100(not exaggerating) and pass, the way it was in my OS elective class which was 90% CS kids who needed it for their degree.
>cpu architectureYou're right there was a more involved, but my point was even the tiniest bit of math would be too much for them. Yeah we also did verilog programming to simulate parts of a cpu, assembly programming, data-path tracing, some cache stuff.
>>11698103My point was ABET at least provides a base/minimum of what should be in a program. The fact that a CS student can have over half their degree be bs classes is ridiculous.
Sure CS is good at those 20 or so schools, but really thats acceptable to you? That one would need to spend a lot of money, to go to those top 20 schools just to have a good CS BS degree? Thousands of colleges, but only 20 are good enough. That's why imo abet is good, because even the shittiest college has to be held to a base standard.
