computer programming before engineering

<p>Found a course in C++ offered at the local university, two nights a week, which son may be eligible to take as a high school student. Do you think that would be beneficial as a biomedical engineering major? I have heard Java is used, so would C be a waste of time?</p>

<p>Of course, I believe that no knowledge is wasted, and my husband, who is a systems analyst, can attest to the value of knowing multiple languages. Heck, he got a job during the oil crunch because he knew Cobalt, thanks to the Y2K scare.</p>

<p>Still waiting on job and service project scheduling to decide if son can fit the class in, but I’m applying for it anyway. Just will be out the app fee at this point.</p>

<p>We have learned a hard lesson this semester so far about not having backup plans. Job and service project fell through, and now scrambling to get summer plans together.</p>

<p>Excited about taking the great courses offered at Marquette for engineering majors!</p>
