Developing the whole curriculum

Developing a whole curriculum is a major challenge. It is rarely done in isolation as it is usually developed in an engineering school from existing components. Consequently, there is a desire to minimise the number of new subjects created. However, this cannot be permitted to over-constrain the design of a transformed program. Even where engineering is a new discipline within a university, it often needs to fit with existing programs in science and mathematics. Again, these programs may provide constraints that make it difficult to start with a clean design.
