Simulation.. why is the meaning of information outside of the scope of the current curriculum for fundamental computer science?

Is it not seen as valuable? do the right tools not exist?

I studied as a EE, where simulation was sort of intrinsic to representation. Fundamentally, isn't the purpose of any language to communicate about approximations of external process?
