+## Disclaimer
+This is an experimental Jupyter Book, part of an educational research project. The first two columns with required prior knowledge were defined by the MSc Admission Committee Civil Engineering. The third column with Open Educational Resources (OER) is experimental and work in progress. These OER materials are provided as a service. Although we did our best to collect OER that reflect the required knowledge as good as possible, based on surveys among students and discussion with staff members, unfortunately we can not give a guarantee that the quality of all material is good. Suggestions are welcome via [email](mailto:h.r.schipper@tudelft.nl?subject=pre-for-cem-suggestions). Our plan is to add more and more reliable and high-quality OER in the coming years.
