For my bachelors, I did a dual degree in EE and CS, and had a decent programming background before starting. Watching most of my EE colleagues programming was incredibly painful; it was very hack & slash until it works, and then that's it. In EE, we weren't really evaluated on the quality of our code at all, just whether or not the final product worked (as determined by a 'scope or other physical output). My limited EE experience after school (I mostly do higher-level programming these days) reflects this; this is the education they left school with, and they didn't have anyone afterwards to teach them any better. Makes me cringe so hard, knowing what some of these guys are up to now.
