[LabVIEW] is limited in applicability to other fields, and will not give students any significant programming knowledge that can be transferred to other languages.
I'm just going to contradict you there. Sorry, but you're making assertions that are flatly false. LabVIEW has applicability in the fields of medicine, aerospace engineering, industrial control, data collection and analysis, electronic device testing, cryptographic communication, process automation, user interface design, etc. And if you don't think knowledge of parallel processing, interprocess communication, dataflow concepts, modularization, etc. are significant, I don't know what to say.
