What's your opinion?
Should non-CS degrees contain more CS? For example, should computational
scientists be taught something about data structures and algorithms?

I think that anybody doing a science should probably have some
foundation in programming because computeracy is becoming as important
as numeracy.
I thought about the Data Structures and Algorithms idea. Something
like it has been a traditional staple of many CS degrees.
I think the problem is that algorithms are in a sense what CS is
largely about and there are literally zillions of them. So a course
devoted specifically to algorithms
really doesn't fly unless you focus on 'algorithms for' - in which
case the course is about a specific area of CS.
