Abstract

The discussion centered on the needs of engineering students in the field of computer science. It was generally agreed that their curriculum should include an introduction to a higher level language such as Fortran taught with an algorithmetic approach, and an introduction to numerical methods with emphasis on proper use of subroutines. It was strongly recommended by the group that simulation and mathematical modeling, statistics, and analog computation be included. Many felt that some basic concepts of an assembler language as related to mini-computers was important. The group was unanimous in the opinion that computer science subject matter should be taught by those trained in the field, but in all cases the courses should be structured so as to be user oriented. It was strongly recommended that CoED form a committee to study this need and make recommendations to the engineering and computer science educators.
