A comment on Conversation: Should degrees have "patches"?

Aug 28 2012: I would like to answer the question by addressing the basic assumption or underlying argument. The argument upon which this suggestion is based, 'quite a bit of what you learned is obsolete' is met by many leading universities by providing project-based curricula. As a result, professors at these universities are well-regarded in their respective fields for gaining insightful advances and cutting-edge knowledge as they use real case examples for their growth. However, these form only a tiny minority of educational institutions and universities. The real question in my opinion now is how to get the vast majority of the remaining institutions and even the remaining courses in these leading universities converted to project-based curricula?
A comment on Conversation: Can we look at the past when looking for future solutions to modern problems?
