The Practical Aspect of Computer Science Education--Discussion.

Presents a response to the article "Computer Science: A Vicious Circle," by Abraham Kandel, published in the June 1972 issue of the periodical "Communications of the ACM." Call for computer science curricula to teach more problem solving techniques; Observation that the computer industry itself has not clearly stated what kind of training is needed for computer science graduates; View that a responsive industry-preparation curriculum designer will recognize that the college is best able to train the student in theoretical matters and industry, itself, in practical matters.
