The paper is entitled "Ada Experience in Undergraduate Education." Included in this paper will be some tables of colleges and universities in which "foundation Ada" is taught at the undergraduate level. I define "foundation" as "introduced in CS1, CS2, or Data Structures, or courses at an equivalent level. I use this definition because Ada introduced at this level, in the freshman or sophomore year, comes in early enough to serve as a foundation language for many subsequent courses. Attached are the institutions of which I am aware. Some of my data comes from the AdaIC CREASE survey, but some of it comes from informal discussions, book publishers, etc. I need your help, both to check the accuracy of my data and to be certain I'm not missing any. It will be good for the Ada community if this list - to be published in one of the world's major computing periodicals - is up-to-date, accurate, and as complete as possible. If any of this is incorrect, or you are aware of institutions that should be added to the list, please e-mail or fax me immediately. Thank you very much for your help!
