Some suggestions:
1) As the OP wrote (in a later message) "All my students will be civil,
environmental or bio engineers but not computer engineers", I would
recommend checking out SoftwareCarpentry.org (see links on home page
www.ControlPascal.com ) which has been teaching basic programming to
non-programmer engineers since 1998. They've already done a *lot* of
work that doesn't need to be repeated! But a pascal version would be nice.
2) I just purchased the least expensive PicoScope which I hope to
combine with the Basic Stamp kit (see top of this page):

Instant gratification (blinking LEDs, switches to push) has worked for
me and others. One of my favorite college courses (in about 1981)
combined programming and electronics, and after that I decided to jump
into embedded programming (previously I did electronic work).
Regards,
Paul
I just added a link (to a recent magazine article on using a scope to
"see" Arduino timing) to the top of this page:

Just trying to help increase embedded and hobby electronic use of Free
Pascal! :)
