What do people here consider to be CS? I couldn't really tell from the article. As I recall, CS was in the math faculty and dealt with theory and core principles or developments, stuff you typically read in whitepapers.

Regular programming/software programmes were in the engineering faculty, as well as some software development being covered to some extent in all the eng programmes. I also recall CS + computer eng made up a large fraction, about as much as all the other math depts and more than physics + biology combined.

The title suggests that there aught to be more and I'd agree that grads going into computer science fields should be better prepared but I don't think that has to be via a CS degree.
