There is some debate on why Computer Science and/or Computer Engineering do not have a board exam just like other technical courses. The result of this is that there is no way for future employers of Computer Science and/or Computer Engineering to gage the difference in skill between the vast amount of graduates. This is a huge disadvantage for talented students looking for a job.
However, in class it was said that there are certain certification exams that students can take that can be used to tell how good a programmer really is. It was also said that it does not mean that if you pass the exam you are a good programmer. There are still average or even poor programmers that pass the exam.
So is it really worth it for the Department of Education to impose a board exam to all Computer Science and/or Computer Engineering graduates? Will this filter out the good programmers from the bad or will this just separate which students are good in taking exams from the bad exam takers but good programmers?
