[comp.software-eng] How should DoD further Ada education?

schweige@aldebaran.cs.nps.navy.mil (Jeffrey M. Schweiger) (05/23/91)

This is primarily geared to the Ada educators on the net, but comments from all 
are welcome.

The following questions have been discussed on the net in the past, but I have
a short notice opportunity to include them in a study tasked by OSD.  I 
appreciate any responses offered.

1.  What role should DoD play in expanding software engineering education,
using Ada as the implementation language?

2.  How best should DoD carry out this role?
	(ie., financial support for faculty, course development, hardware,
	 software, etc. or more direct course development support)

3.  How do we expand the number of Ada-literate people coming out of the
universities?

4.  How do we expand the use of Ada in information systems?

5.  What can or should DoD do in conjunction with industry to further Ada usage?

Make it an object-oriented language.
