In many countries, those that want to learn only industry relevant technologies go to a polytechnic school and not to an university.
Universities are for learning to learn.
Universities are for learning to learn.
In the same way, I think we need both "computer science" and "software engineering" - but they need to be different departments. They both belong at the university, though. (I'm not sure you go to a polytechnic school to learn chemical engineering.) The problem is, most universities try to teach a computer science degree to people who will work as software engineers (and therefore don't teach them as much software engineering as they should).
A solution to that is to have the Engineers college certify which university degrees are actually worthwhile to have engineering as part of their name, and crack down on misuses of the name by people that just had a bootcamp of some sort.
I used to think chemical engineering is about chemistry until I talked to some chemical engineers on the bus I used to commute on. Most of what they study is mechanical engineering, and so, it's better to think of CE as a branch of ME. These people worked in the R&D department of a materials company, so they definitely knew what they were talking about. Their chemistry chops were only marginally better than mine, and I'm an EE.
