Sumario:It has been noticed that during the initial semesters of Computing Engineering that the amount of human tutors is insufficient. The students/tutors ratio is very high and there is a great difference in the acquired knowledge and backgrounds. The idea is that a system could emulate the human tutor and besides provide the student with a degree of flexibility for the selection of the most adequate tutorial type. This could be a feasible solution to the stated problem. But a tutorial system should not only emulate the human tutor but besides it should be designed from an epistemological conception of what teaching Basic Programming means specially in an Engineering course due to the profile and identity of the future engineer.
