I must have inately knew something about Purdue, because I came across this blog posting that said the following about their CS department:
they're fundamentally lacking in everything from design principles ("here's some skeleton code to implement in, implement my design") to coding best-practices to a lot of language details of the languages they "specialize" in, not to mention they're often totally unfamiliar with some of the most critical and fundamental tools out there, like "make" and shell scripting
...
we tiptoe around these fundamental concepts — incremental building, unit testing, using libraries, and the discrete math and number theory that's fundamental to everything we're working on — and the one semester (well, two semesters now) that that stuff is presented to us, we get selections of some of the worst profs in the department, and totally inconsistent material
