Although I have no real argument against the above, from what I have seen,
most of the course offerings that would solve some of the deficiencies are
NOT at the undergraduate level.  Courses on algorithms, parsers, etc., are
usually reserved for the graduate level (note that I am not making a comment
on whether that is correct or not).
