I went to a pretty good CS undergraduate program in the mid 1990s. It was fairly likely that a graduate would have most of the skills you listed... and it was also plausible that a barely-scraping-by graduate had none of them. One of the required senior level courses was a survey of currently interesting topics in the current market. It ended with presentations from each student on something that they had researched. A student prepared a discussion of artificial intelligence which did not mention any statistical techniques, neural networks, biology, expert systems, biology, or really, anything of actual interest. Much of the time was taken up by movie clips from The Lawnmower Man. The actual text was mostly about how scary AI is. I asked the only question in the Q&A afterwards: "Could you explain what the difference is between AI and VR?" Some stammering followed. It's not always the course or the professor that fails a student. -dsr-
