I agree with you. Another point is that universities are supposed to teach
fundamentals, not solely prepare people for work. Preparing people for a
particular trade is what trade schools are for.

I got my BSEE fairly recently (2000), and many times I heard students
complain that the EE curiculum wasn't practical enough. But the professors
(and, I guess, the accrediting folks) place a lot of emphasis on EE
fundamentals.
