Template Usage Note
To populate a course page with full academic content, pass the relevant fields into buildCourseTemplate(config). Fields include overview, objectives[], modules[], outcomes[], methodology[], targetAudience, duration, certification, courseCode, and relatedCourses[]. Any omitted field renders a clearly labelled placeholder, ensuring consistent visual structure at all times.

Phase 2 Implementation Notes
What Was Built
Unified template functionbuildCourseTemplate() — one reusable function for all 61+ course pages across all divisions and departments.
14 academic content sections structured and labelled per course — including the 2 optional sections (Course Code, Related Courses) with clear placeholder indicators.
Course codes auto-assigned in the format DEPT-DIV-NNN (e.g. ENG-IC-001) and displayed in the course hero and sidebar.
Smart fallback system — every section gracefully shows a formatted placeholder when content is not yet provided, maintaining visual consistency across all pages.
Identical branding and UI — no modifications to the existing website design, typography, navigation, or visual identity.
Next Steps — Phase 3
Recommended Content Entry Workflow
1
Prepare academic content for each course (Overview, Objectives, Modules, Outcomes, Methodology, Target Audience, Duration, Certificate).
2
Pass content fields into the buildCourseTemplate() config object for each course to replace placeholders with live content.
3
Define Related Courses arrays per course to activate the cross-navigation sidebar panel linking complementary programs.
4
Extend the template to non-engineering departments (Leadership, HR, Finance, etc.) by calling the same buildCourseTemplate() function with the relevant department config.
