you cannot be an engineer. Honestly, the one discipline that cannot lower its core requirements is Engineering (CS included). I agree on one hand, too many CS majors do not have a clue how to actually develop real software when they graduate college. This especially happens when CS is a part of the math (arts and science) dept, but this total focus on theory is the problem, not because the students must understand high level math. IMO, this is why CS should be a part of the Engineering college, to ensure the theory can be applied.
Every engineer I know has passed Calculus 3, imho this should be a minimum req. to build systems that affect the lives of other people...just a thought.
