to survey the brief history and the present status of architecture and architectural engineering education in India must begin with a recognition that while the activity of architecture has been practiced in India for centuries, its education was the responsibility of master craftsmen and passed along from one generation to another. The evolution of architecture and architectural engineering as a profession is a relatively new phenomenon demanding a different educational approach and pedagogy. The problem is compounded by the fact that while the professional attitude is western import, the pedagogy requires integrating issues of a distinct cultural identity. Most schools have not come to grips with this problem and the pedagogical structure

Nowteachers state their progress as either needs work (N), developed (D) or mastered (M). Figure 3depicts a partial progress report, developed during an early iteration of the application.

Even the engineers who work with highlydiscontinuous functions first need to study the elementary functions. A definition in terms ofepsilons requires a proof in terms of epsilons. The function definition provided in almost all highschool and college texts used in differential calculus courses includes nowhere differentiablefunctions. In no way is this logical. In a differential calculus course, functions should beintroduced as mostly smooth curves. This would naturally lead to all the concepts needed byengineers. The functions of calculus

The lack of nano-engineering education-so calleddesign fundamentals; knowledge of design tools and manufacturing processes is one of the majordrawbacks. To add to it there is a lack of depository knowledge and infrastructure for selectionof microfabrication processes and assembly.

After the introduction of TRNSYS, photovoltaicsimulation became much simpler and far more complex models could be tackled. The sameproblem – generation of I-V curves – was assigned again after mid term. While TRNSYS doesnot directly generate parametric curves, students understood how to adjust the inputs andparameters to Type 94 (PV array) to obtain data for curves.
