always contentious :) I think you need both, I know in my areas of measuring things and controlling things it is useful. Though I'd struggle to say how useful. I think we can all nitpick any given course, but as it is, it seems reasonable, and I'm sure they will tweak it over time based on feedback from students I think it's generally good. If you did all the course, you'd be in a good position to tackle a lot of programmnig problems.
