For what it's worth, I think physical science education is closer to what you are describing. I studied chemistry, and I'm not sure if it's a causal relationship, but I find I am much better at debugging (in development) and "firefighting" (in production) than my peers. I guess my conclusion is CS students should be required to take more science classes, or, preferably, software engineer hopefuls should be pushed to study other disciplines.
