This was essentially CMU's reasoning for introducing us, as students, to C/C++. We re-implemented malloc(), wrote a garbage collector, implemented RSA encryption, and did several other 'basic' things.
I could definitely chalk my undergrad experience up to "those educators knew how to get us jobs." But, if I'm being perfectly honest, more than 60% of our initial undergrad cohort failed out and more than 90% of us either failed out, or re-majored.
So it wasn't "here's how CS kiddies will do well." :( It was... something else for those of us who came out :)
