I graduated from Matej Bel University, so I currently hold a bachelor’s degree in computer science. In terms of obtaining knowledge the whole experience was worthless. Every bit of information I either had already known or had to study on my own.
They informed me on various topics, but I did not learn anything. For instance… They informed me about various aspects of Arduino C++ programming, but I did not learn anything about microcontroller programming. Nobody told me about memory mapping, datasheets, CPU architectures, development boards, how AVR chip on Arduino boards is able to communicate with a desktop computer over USB, linker scripts, SPI, I2C, JTAG, newlib etc. The moment I get anything other than Arduino, every bit of college becomes obsolete.
If you want students to stay well informed, you would better off be teaching them to use an online search engine.
