What you have between industry and college is a lag. Colleges respond to what classes/majors are in demand by students. Students apply their knowledge of what they want to do and what industry wants in their choice of classes/majors.

Sometimes industry makes known what they want directly to colleges. But 4 years later, their needs may have changed.
