The article focuses on the decision by the management of University of California in Davis, California, to offer a new course that combined C programming with an introduction to Matlab in 2009. The author explains that the decision is based on the fact that previous university mechanical engineering graduates could not handle some senior design projects because of the lack of knowledge particularly on C programming. He supports the decision of the university because standard programming languages such as C programming and Fortran are maintaind by all major computing industry companies.
