My daughter is an electrical engineering major at the University of Houston. She is currently involved in an ANSI C programming course. Just two weeks into the course, she has already completed a project that determines the roots for a function provided by an input file, via a series of iterative loops. She did explain that she has already learned Matlab and finds C a much better environment.

Her professor has been with the University for quite sometime and remembers using fortran with punchcards. (Finally someone from my generation!) The engineering students have a number of programming environments available on numerous platforms. The professor told them that she prefers gnu gcc on linux!

Congratulations indeed! Good to see more women in that area of expertise. The Professor is also to be congratulated for favouring Linux.
