George,
>> I was talking with a friend of recently, who happens to be a Professor of Computer Science at Kennesaw State University here in Georgia, where I
studied back in the late 80s. He told me that since that time, at Kennesaw at least, there has been a de-emphasis on what we would refer to as the
"principles" in favvor of additional emphasis on information processing. This coincides very nicely with your observation. <<
This is what I call the "Doctors in China" problem. Assume that China has announced they need doctors. To be a doctor in China, you need to know two things: medicine and Chinese. Learning Chinese by itself qualifies you in no way to be a doctor in China.
Sounds to me as if the universities are concentrating on the Chinese, not the medicine.
