I never had a class where they've taught me the proper engineering

Hi,
I can't really comment on universities today, since I finished up 20 years
ago. (Yikes! I hate to admit that!) I still get surprised looks and
comments when I tell people I studied physics. No one expects that a woman
will have done that, even now, which is ridiculous. Dr. Moira Gunn had

Of course, that aspect of reality is not o
Computer Science, in my point of view, is supposed to be theoretical
aspects of computing. All practical applications is left to the IS majors
and everyone else. =)
I actually like looking at the theories. I've got ideas on how to improve
things that aren't in development yet.

I'm not so sure... wouldn't saying "mechanics of information technology
and hardware" be redundant, then?
