Very very few American students are that well prepared as freshmen.

Well duh. Americans have been black listed from IT careers, especially white males.. Why study those things? IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY CAN'T.

This was about 30 years ago and I agree with you about the blacklisting. However, first and second year courses in calculus and physics are foundation courses for a variety of fields in engineering.
