Abstract
The paper examines the merits of the major languages presently available for teaching computer programming to engineering students. Consideration of the ultimate application of programming by engineers is given prominence in this evaluation, which it is hoped will fill a gap in the information presently available to planners of engineering courses. Recommendations about the best language are made from engineering considerations and offer an alternative to the much less application-orientated criteria typically adopted by University Computer Science departments, who are the traditional source of expertise in such matters.
