There is an ongoing challenge indeveloping an introductory engineering course that meets the needs of the school/college as wellas the students in an effective manner. A major complaint of students is that there is no formalmechanism that helps students make an informed decision on their choice

According to this source, technicalsuperiority continued until the seventeenth century. The practices at those times included wetagricultural techniques, water transportation and water lift at the riversides. In wheat and barleyprocessing, mills were used, and water and wind energy were harnessed.

Althoughthe syllabi may have much of the information requested in the course outline, they typically don’t haveall of it as a syllabus is intended for the students in the course. In addition, most syllabi are much longerthan the two-page limit as they have a great deal of extraneous information (e.g., grading andattendance policies) that is not required for the course outline.
