The reasoning behind credit courses like this is to get them exposed to a variety of fields that gives them a taste of what they might want, AND cross train them for the modern field where needing to be semi-proficient in multiple disciplines is the norm. Like chemical engineering with a coding background to maintain/design the equipment.

I've seen a lot of that, I think that's why I'm seeing so many people learn the ultra-easy coding languages. They are teaching kids python.

I don't know how to code in python.

IDK, C is intuitive to me.
