Abstract: The computer is the first tool in history to enhance the capabilities of the mind in a major way. Developing the skills needed for its productive use is an ongoing task in the life of the contemporary engineer. We discuss why that is so, and how educational programs can help in that endeavour.

Keywords: computers; computing applications; software; algorithmic thinking; computer modelling; computer literacy; continuing engineering education; continuing education.
