The result of this may be to increase students' marketability in the short term, but we believe that it shortchanges our students in the long term. Our students should have the opportunity to gain a broad education and experience areas outside their major. This is a topic that we should at least consider. An alternative would be to allow the students to take additional electives outside the college. We understand the desire to increase the technical competence of our students, but we object to doing so by limiting the students' exposure to the university experience.
