I'd probably structure it a lot like a bootcamp. Check out Flatiron, gSchool, or Dev Bootcamp's curriculum for some good ideas. To summarize, though, typically it's a few weeks of learning a high-level language (Python or Rub

I was an electrical engineer before I was a computer programmer and people liked asking questions about Ohm's law and calculating total resistance of resistors in series and parallel. EDIT: I should clarify... They weren't asking
