Please don't do that! Programming is just not there yet.

All attempts to establish best "engineering practices" in programming have so far been resulting in incredibly messy and inefficient technologies. UML, Corba, Object Oriented programming -- just to mention a few.

Also, whatever comes from an academic institution, as a rule, doesn't pass the reality check until it get stress-tested by the industry. Professors who don't build real-life software systems, can't tech engineering by definition -- they should stick mainly to theory.

Until programming matures, CS algorithms and data structures should remain our nails and wood.
