ECS How to create a web page


RU ENGINEERING CLASSES

Maintaining Engineering Web pages.

Simple steps once you have created an Engineering Webpage.



The two main things you need to know


1) What kind of account do you need to maintain a web site for Engineering courses?
  • You will need a dsv/soemail account. If you do not have one you can obtain an account from
    ECS by contacting Bobby Perez or Mark Sproul. Once you have a dsv/soemail account
    you have a few choices on how to proceed.
    Contact Information for Staff of ECS.
    RECOMMENDED: You can edit your files locally on your machine and then sftp the files to coewww.rutgers.edu.
    Your other choice is that you can log into coewww.rutgers.edu using ssh and edit your files directly on that machine.

    Please refer to Accessesin ECS computers for more info on logging on to our systems

2)Where will your web site be and in which directories will you have permission to create files in?
  • Your web site will be placed into a directory with the rest of the courses for that major.
    For example, if MAE349 (Mechanical Engineering Laboratory) is the class web site
    that you are working on. You would obtain the appropriate permission from
    Mark Sproul and put all of the files in the directory /www/classes/mae/mae349.

  • This system makes it easier for students and faculty in the future to arbitrarily find
    information on courses.

  • Another example would be from the prospective student's perspective. If a student
    wants to know what they would be doing in a Mechanical Engineering course and all
    they knew was that the course number was 14:650:349, they could go to
    http://coewww.rutgers.edu/classes/mae/mae349.

    advocate using web editors such as Front Page, but you will still be able to use them if you choose.)
