As having gone to engineering school, I agree with you.
But the main issue is that most technical courses are given by people with a strong foothold in academia (and a lack of knowledge of "the outside world")
Good teachers go a long way, you have to be aware of the issues to realize they're happening once in the "real world".
You have to know the technical aspecsts, but if you restrict yourself to that, you'll spend your life in Dilbert's world unable to change things. And when it's your turn to lead, you'll do exactly the same as your boss did.
This list is very important, and the most amazing thing is how many people don't know 10% of it, even in companies!
