It’s funny he says a lot of modern CS education is bad

I did Computer Engineering rather than CS for undergrad and we covered like 80% of the topics in that list

Had multiple courses in Verilog/OS and worked a lot with microcontrollers/FPGAs. Building a CPU in verilog then writing an assembler/compiler was definitely the highlight.

Was a hard program but I felt like I had a really good understanding of the full stack coming out of it.

Maybe he just isn’t familiar with CE?

Where I’m did you do undergrad. My son is not having much success finding a college to shoot for in terms of having a goal. I think a curriculum like you describe would at least show him some options that exist.

Gatech, UPenn, U Colorado Boulder all have great CompE programs at both undergrad and graduate levels.

Georgia Tech has (when I was there at least) a good CMPE program.

Seems to me that CE covers sections 1, 2, 3, 7, and a bit of 5, and CS covers 4, 5, and 6. A traditional CS education should teach 3, even though doing 3 is absolutely not the job of CS grads.
