I am chemical engineer and in my studies there was no programming and algorithm training at all (we did tiny bit of Scilab to solve some systems of equations but that’s all!).

Chemists in general (beyond theoretical and some open-minded exeptions) don’t program and don’t want to program. Synthetic/organic chemist still perceive synthesis as form of “art” ;) Therefore it would require huge shift in the mentality.

It is going to happen but not easily and and later than it could for social reasons :(
