Ada 9X TECHNOLOGY INSERTION ON CAMPUS:
AWARDS MADE FOR CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
*****************************************************************
DATELINE: October 28, 1994
Grants have been made in response to this summer's Broad Area
Announcement (BAA) for proposals for developing Ada curricula.
The goal of the BAA was to encourage university development of
undergraduate educational curricula, course materials, and
innovative presentation tools or methods for demonstrating the use
of the Ada 9X programming language.
The Department of Defense is reinforcing its commitment to Ada by
responding to the demands of the DoD development community by
striving to increase use of Ada in the academic community. Ada 9X
is unique because it provides a sound engineering approach to
object-oriented design. This round of university awards will
produce Ada 9X courseware that will be distributed free via CD-ROM
to the private and public sector.
The round of proposals for grants concluded with the following
awards:
Florida International Univ. $53,574 Development of an Ada
