~10 years ago, Michigan's College of Enineering did not require any forgeign launguage. That might have changes since then, but I got my degree from MICH without being able to hardly speak english, much less any other languages.

I took ancient Greek to fulfill the second year requirement in college. That wasn't a bad idea until I had a visiting professor for the third quarter. I remember learning, and I use that term loosely, FORTRAN and Pascal in a hs class. Those were the days.

Used punch cards for a Cobol
Used punch cards for a Cobol
Used punch cards for a Cobol program in a bschool Computer class. It was extremely frustrating. Had professor Severance. He was a great lecturer but much of what he tested was worthless facts and figures. "How much information is stored on one inch of 3250 tape?" The exact opposite of CK Prahalad who taught you all about how to approach a problem and not the answer.
The first Cobol program we had to write was on punch cards and we them moved to a terminal. Pre PC days by a couple of years. After 30 years in the high tech industry I can confidently say nothing I learned in my bschool computer class was ever applied in the real world.

Wow, FORTRAN, that is old
Wow, FORTRAN, that is old
Wow, FORTRAN, that is old school. When I graduated about 11 years ago we did C, C++, Java... oh yeah and a ton of assembly. Ah, the memories. But yes, no foreign language credit required. Did this change?
A follow up quick question. This past week I went to a Michigan alumni entrepreneurs event in SF. I noticed there that everyone who had studied computer engineering they listed their degree on their badge as 'CO' (rather than CE). Does anyone know why this is?

Before Ross was Ross the bschool did not require a language either. I was sweating not getting in and having to cram a foreign language into Junior and Senior year as I had never taken a language class at any level before. Insert ignorant American joke here...

Can someone with a background
Can someone with a background
Can someone with a background in education explain to me the supposed importance of being able to mumble a few words of a foreign language before being allowed to enter Michigan? Not to sound xenophobic, but if a student wants to say... own a small bicycle business in Kansas after graduating, why force him to take a foreign language at all? In my experience, it would have been very beneficial for me to take, say... a few extra semesters of Economics in high school and college, rather than being able to ask (poorly) "Where is the bathroom?" in Spanish... which after a few years without classes, is the extent of my knowledge in the language.
