That’s interesting (and definitely unsurprising) to hear! I think freshman year might be a bit too early to appreciate the curriculum, before students have seen how ubiquitous some of these tools are in engineering jobs. Maybe it would be better spread out over time. I think the trade-off on timing here is with internships during the summer after freshman year. I think you’ll have a much better chance of success if you’re at least roughly familiar with these workflows vs. interns who are totally unfamiliar with version control systems, for example. And perhaps that’s all the course is meant to accomplish at 1cr.
