I just got through ASU with a BSEE and they do teach (at least to CSE and EE
majors) bit arithmetic.  The class is CSE/EEE120 and goes through binary, octal
and hex math.  The final project for my class was to design part of a soda
machine.  Had to count coins and make change.

Fun stuff, don't know what the Business students go through, but judging by my
friend who switched into it, they only have to deal with base 10 algebra.
