Abstract
As the Ada programming language becomes established, it will have an impact on computer education. In the short term, there will be a need to provide Ada exposure to mature upper-level undergraduates who are already skilled in other languages. Although language proficiency is important, this exposure should not focus on language features but rather on the support Ada provides to modern software engineering practice. The content of a course providing such an exposure is described together with a pedagogical approach that proved to be quite successful.Keywords
