+About
+=====
+
+Engineering & science 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 to
+collaboration and building on other people's work.
+
+This program is intended to train such students in good software
+practices and tools for producing code and documentation. SEES stands
+for *Software Engineering for Engineers and Scientists.*
