We'd start with why man feels the need to move at all. We'd discuss how within the cerebral cortex lies a region that inspires us to move forward - constantly searching for the next meal, the next warm cave. We'd examine the first crude tools that carved out the first wheel to see how and where the inspiration came from. We'd look at horses, trains, boats, and planes to see how all of that assisted in creating and perfecting today's automobile. Finally, we would spend years taking apart the engine piece-by-piece so that each part could be named, inspected, and dissected. We'd be tested on all the minutia related to the inner working of each part and perhaps on the last day of class actually sit in the driver's seat of a car without keys.
Contrast that against what an auto mechanic might tell you, "Turn the key, push that pedal to go fast, that one to slow down, and don't hit anything."
Honestly, which would you prefer?
