<p id="x_1"></a>Engineering students use computers for a large number of curricular tasks – mostly computation centred. However, they do not see this as coding or programming tasks and usually are not even aware of the tools and techniques that will help them to handle these tasks better. This results in less than optimal use of their time and resources. This also causes difficulties when it comes tocollaboration and building on other people’s work. This course is intended to train such students in good software practices and tools for producing code and documentation.</p>
