course is a double hour class – the cadets’schedule is cleared for two full hours each class lesson. Additionally, we are on a fortnightschedule, which means that each class meets five times every two weeks. The students are giventhe option to remain in the classroom during the second hour to work on homework problems,and occasionally we have mandatory labs or projects during the second hour.Finally, USAFA is an undergraduate only institution where education is the top priority. Classsizes are small, averaging 15 students per class section. This allows us opportunities that maynot be practical at traditional universities with large class sections. Many of our projects couldbe used in a traditional university as interesting class demonstrations

This is an introductory course in computer programming, most often taught as a service course by the computer science department. From the late 60’s to the early 90’s, Fortran was usually the language of choice for engineering students, although Pascal was used for a number of years. The current trend for this course is to use the C/C++ language as a vehicle, a choice apparently driven by the GUI requirements of personal Page 6.9.1 Proceedings of the 2001 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition
