options and different files you can manipulate in order to make the program run how you want, and I'm now glad we had to take CS261." ConclusionIn this paper, we described the benefits of programming instruction for engineers of all disciplines.We explained how courses further along in the curriculum are able to take advantage of the programming background and offer more in-depth projects.We described how our programming instruction evolved, and then took a back-step and returned to C as the main language for introductory programming instruction.Finally, we presented the results of our industry and student surveys that echoed our position regarding the importance of programming for all engineers as well as the appropriateness of the C language.
