  abstract =     "Over the last four years a new Computer Science major
                 program has been introduced into the curriculum of the
                 School of Engineering at Oakland University. During
                 this period computer science educators throughout the
                 country have debated the best way to introduce
                 structured programming into the curriculum. There is
                 now a widespread belief that beginning FORTRAN courses
                 cannot be taught using structured programming in a form
                 that is palatable to freshmen students without the aid
                 of a structured FORTRAN preprocessor. Our experience in
                 teaching structured programming using FORTRAN to large
                 numbers of freshmen students has indicated that this
                 widespread belief is false. We will illustrate the use
                 of structured flowcharts with FORTRAN in Section 2 by
                 showing one of the actual programming assignments that
                 was given to our freshman introductory computer course
                 this term. The same structured flowcharting techniques
                 are used throughout the curriculum. An example that
                 uses ALGOL and is taken from our junior level data
                 structures class is given in Section 3. The use of the
                 structured flowcharts forces all programs to be
                 well-structured and encourages a top-down approach to
                 programming. It is a very useful vehicle for describing
                 any language-independent structured algorithm. An
                 example of using structured flowcharts to describe a
                 simple precedence parser in a senior course on
                 compilers is given in Section 4.",
