                 Computing Science degrees has raged for some time.
                 Critics of these degree courses have stated that the
                 courses do not satisfy the needs of commercial and
                 industrial users; that they do not train the graduate
                 to be of immediate use or that the subject is
                 developing too rapidly for degrees to impart any
                 lasting knowledge and so on. It may be (and is) argued
                 by some, that an Institute of Higher Education (be it
                 College, Polytechnic* or University) should not aim to
                 train students to be of immediate use to industry.
                 However there is obviously a demand for trained
                 personnel in the computing field, as demonstrated by
                 the proliferation of courses run by manufacturers,
                 various professional bodies and commercial
                 organizations, and it is to satisfy this demand that a
                 number of Polytechnics in England, and Sheffield
                 Polytechnic in particular, have designed courses aimed
                 at educating students in the field of computing.",
