Redesigning the B.E. Syllabus Using Technology

Abstract

Many educators have initially attempted to incorporate the teaching of technological literacy into existing curricula. Actually, it is difficult to cover all the issues relating to the new technology in existing courses. In the 1990s, the curricula of first year engineering English began to undergo a transformation, which has been only accelerated. A growing number of engineering colleges began to offer new programs and courses that dealt directly with new media, such as online business English course, IELTS, TESOL and computer-assisted reporting. Some colleges took a more basic approach, restructuring their existing courses and degree programs.
