What would these strategies be?

Apparently ...

bribery.

saforrest writes "Say goodbye to independent academia. In a presentation by Microsoft on Wednesday at the
University of Waterloo, a new joint initiative was announced which involves the addition of a mandatory course on C#
for all electrical and computer engineers. 'Completion of this course will be mandatory for students entering the E&CE program.'" Microsoft's press release is available.

Under curriculum integration, first-choice applicants to UW's E&CE program will be allowed to
take a new pre-university programming course in C#, E&CE 050. Completion of this course will
be mandatory for students entering the E&CE program. C# is a new programming language
developed by Microsoft.

The existing course E&CE 150, an introductory course to programming, will change from using C++ to C#.

DiCiccio commented on changing curriculum under the agreement, "E&CE weighed all the aspects of it and was
comfortable with the change...UW is really sensitive to curriculum decisions it makes." He also joked, "$2.3 million isn't
enough to sacrifice curriculum."


Bill and Steve are going to go down swinging. You've gotta give 'em that.
