It is merely a residual consequence of the glacial pace of educational reform, yet some have framed it as \"developing logical thinking\" or claimed that \"university isn't a training camp.\" Such arguments are utterly untenable.",[11,420,421],{},"In reality, even if computer science majors studied more mathematics instead of physics, it would be far more beneficial.",[11,423,424],{},"Computer science fundamentally diverges from traditional engineering disciplines such as civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, and chemical engineering.

It is unrealistic to assume they are designing CPUs.",[11,465,466],{},"In China, computer science was only formalized as a university discipline in the 1980s, following the reinstatement of the national college entrance exams. However, the theoretical foundations of computer science had already been established during World War II. By the time China integrated it into its educational system, we were already lagging behind Western nations by no less than half a century.",[11,468,469],{},"During that era, computers were a rarity in China, and expertise in teaching the subject was even scarcer. Lacking domestic models to emulate, we resorted to copying. Since physics was a staple of other STEM fields, it was incorporated into computer science curricula as well.",[11,471,472],{},"And yet, we remain entrenched in these antiquated practices. Despite nearly four decades, our approach to computer science education continues to stagnate. For example, certain universities still teach C++ using VC6, a tool that is unequivocally obsolete by contemporary standards.",[11,474,475],{},"In conclusion, the shortcomings of computer science education in China can be attributed to historical inertia and outdated reforms.
