I must admit I laughed out loud when I read: "Part of the reason why Ann Arbor is tech hub in Michigan is because of U of M, which is ranked very high on any university ranking sites. There is no doubt that the school spends a lot of money on their buildings exteriors and interiors to attract students. However, just like most other universities, you do not really learn many practical skills from there even if you are a computer science student. Here is my personal experience. One day, I went to one of the biggest computer labs in the CS building and asked more than 30 students there if they know how to program in Swift ( the programming language used to make native iOS apps), everyone said no. When I got back home and search their curriculum, only one course is related to mobile development. However, stats show more than 75% of people are using mobile phones for personal use compared to 40% using a desktop. So just as most other universities in the US, students are not well trained to stay up to date." Note that the University of Michigan is one of the top ten engineering schools in the United States; it's graduates go on to _design_ the next generation programming languages and microprocessors[1], if not go into research. Apparently, this fellow imagines UM to be some sort of community college. Given this, one has to suspect the rest of the article is equally faulty. [1] To give you an idea of its size, the UM EECS department has the capability to do chip fabrication on-site and it's available to undergraduates as part of a course (EECS 423)
