When I was in college for my CAD course I had to use:

Calma  - VMS
IDEAS  - VMC
AutoCAD - PC
VersaCAD - PC
CADkey - PC
CADC - Zenith Z100

Late 80s when there were multiple choices.  Now I'd imagine seeing AutoCAD,
Cadence, Mentor Graphics, Pro/E, (are those just EDA?)

It was an interesting introduction.  I think it would be very useful for
students to see at least 3 or the following MS-Office 97, Office 2003,
Corel, OpenOffice, Apple iWork(?) and maybe a works type suite.

A programming ciriculum would generally have more then 1 language.

Heck, in high school I took typing.  We learned on electric and manual
typewriters.  Slightly different techniques.  In that era some typewriters
were adding print wheels, correction, memories, mailing lists, forms.
