Line 115:
Did any colleges ever offer a course in ADA for the Computer Scientists or others interested? I Suspect NOT. ''"In 1991, the US Department of Defense began to require the use of Ada (the Ada mandate) for all software, though exceptions to this rule were often granted. The Department of Defense Ada mandate was effectively removed in 1997, as the DoD began to embrace commercial off-the-shelf ([[Commercial off-the-shelf|COTS]]) technology."'' I believe part of the mandates removal was the cost incurred by contractors as ADA was not getting taught in universities.[[User:Wfoj3|Wfoj3]] ([[User talk:Wfoj3|talk]]) 21:44, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
:This 1985 ACM article about the University of New Orleans adopting Ada as its primary programming language. (https://doi.org/10.1145/323275.323389)
:I wish I had reference for University of Southwestern Louisiana, now University of Louisiana Lafayette as of 2000, introducing Ada in its first programming classes for Computer Science and Computer Engineering curriculums circa late 80's, early 90's that I experienced.
:There were, according to this source as of spring 2000, MANY universities & colleges throughout the world introducing Ada as a foundational programming language.
