I like Brian's ideas for a more practical software engineering course.
And GNU Emacs does provide an all-in-one environment for learning such
concepts.  Now we need to find sympathetic teachers.

GNU Emacs, which is customized with a full LISP language, has been
used successfully in a Programming Languages class for the segment
on LISP.  It is a very friendly environment for new (and old) lisp
programmers allowing incremental recompilation and immediate evaluation, but
it could use a better debugger.
