A company hiring someone out of this new kind of university would look at projects the student worked on as well as their subject modules.  But large projects can get fuzzy as to what the specific contributions might be, and the subject modules then give you an idea of that candidates background skill spread. So if the company were looking for someone in robotics for more of the software side, then it would be apparent from the studied modules that they might be a good fit.<p>But more than that, it would give universities a model to continue creating a range of advanced or specialized subject modules. This would allow students or employees to come back and pickup new subject modules in a more integrated way to how the whole university operates.
