What? The industry doesn't use matlab except a few big places. Of those, most are also now considering switching to Python. They need to get out there and do some polling.

My undergrad university was really involved with "heavy industry"-type companies for co-ops and recruiting, like utilities, chemical processing/manufacturing, and military-industrial for the 4.0 GPA kids. All the fields who offer you a gray cubicle to waste your life in while they kill the environment, and they're pretty resistant to changing anything. It was really unhealthy for getting a well-rounded engineering education.
