Abstract

In this paper, the results of the research project, whose objective was to apply the functional programming model with Scheme language in the teaching of programming foundations in Systems Engineering, are presented. The research was conducted in five higher education institutions of the Pasto city (Colombia), which form part of the Systems Research University Network of Nariño – SYRUNAR. These institutions used the imperative programming paradigm and languages like C and Java in the early programming courses. The obtained results help to support the decision on which is the programming model more appropriate to introduce students of Systems Engineering in the field of programming.
