ABSTRACT: The present paper analyses some pedagogical aspects of Computer Programming Disciplines on Fresh Curriculums of Engineering and Computer Sciences Courses. The discussion is centered on the possibilities of synthesis of several disciplines under the academic title of Inverted Curriculum, as a pedagogical axis. The Object Oriented Computer Modeling Paradigm seams to facilitate the migration to this synthesis approach. This is just aligned with globalization professional needs in modern techno – science carriers. Another aspect to be enhanced is the recent discussion about Visual Programming for Introductory Computer Programming Disciplines. Nowadays, visual programming is usually placed as priority value on those pedagogical environments. Is it quite correct? Or, there is another needs to be integrated, with interface aspects, to get harmony on computer modeling introductory teaching? Suggestions are made, where synthesis and theoretical think are considered as a high level value, in terms of pedagogical aspects, applied to Engineering and Computer Science innovative curriculums.
