  abstract =     "During the past few years, I have attended several
                 professional meetings which have included panel
                 discussions between representatives from industry and
                 academia concerning computer science education.
                 Industry usually claims that students graduate with few
                 practical skills --- many can't even write a program as
                 simple as a master file update. They further complain
                 that such major issues as documentation, programming
                 style, and team programming are neglected, while the
                 abilities for written expression and oral presentation
                 are often totally lacking. The programming languages
                 which are common in industry (COBOL, FORTRAN) are often
                 not introduced, and actual experience in the use of
                 data base and data communications software just doesn't
                 exist. In summary, universities are not interested in
                 preparing a student for an industrial career.
                 Universities usually respond by stating that their
                 mission is education and not training. They are not
                 attempting to produce a technician who will be obsolete
                 in two years, but rather are attempting to build a base
                 of knowledge which will allow the professional to
                 change with the times. Many claim that they are
                 describing topics on the frontiers of the field which
                 will be used ten years from now. Since universities are
                 expected to be ``pioneers'', they are required to lead
                 in the development and research of new technology.",
