There is no debate that computers are ubiquitous tools for the engineer in training as well as the practicing engineer. In addition to being able to use a computer as a tool, we propose that engineers of all disciplines, and not just those studying electrical and/or computer engineering, should be able to program computers. A student body familiar with computer programming enables a more thorough treatment of advanced courses as well as yielding graduates with valuable skills that they will need in industry.
