As an EE undergrad 40 years ago, the title made me think of the programming languages taught in my courses at the time.

- FORTRAN (no surprise here, I was an EE major not CS)

- Pascal (this was the new kid on campus at the time, only the CS folks used it)

- MIX (Knuth's generic assembly language)

FWIW I was an EE/Math undergrad 45 years ago and ours were

- FORTRAN (heavy on the numerical methods)

- MIX (only in a side project)

- PL/C (a really nifty "training wheels" version of PL/1)

- BASIC (on a PDP-series computer with a room full of ASR-33's)
