In addition to introducing students to sustainability concepts, the project developedtheir creativity and critical thinking skills, enabled them to learn concrete design concepts morethoroughly, and provided a challenging yet fun learning environment that they enjoyed.IntroductionCivil engineers are being increasingly expected to develop sustainable solutions to infrastructureand technology problems, yet they may find themselves inadequately prepared to provideanswers.1 In a 2006 study, the rating of new graduates’ knowledge of sustainable principles wasonly 2.8 out of 10, department support for teaching and research in sustainability was 4.7 out of10, and the university

Without the demographic data from the initialsurvey, it is unknown if these sophomores had ever read an engineering journal article before theone used for this design project.The terribly low response rate may be attributed to several possible factors:  The initial survey was not available when the recruitment flyer was distributed. A technology mistake was made when an available time frame was set for the survey but the students were not allowed to see the research project page, which had been hidden for testing during discussions with the IRB.  It was mentioned in class that the IRB insisted that the surveys be

However, texts and mostteaching seem to have continued to rely heavily on the use of engineering economy factors inspite of a continuing series of calls for less financial arithmetic. Much and perhaps nearly all ofthis described spreadsheet use was for more complicated problems, such as inflation, taxes, orcases. In 2011, 36 leading engineering economists cosigned a proposition on using tabulatedfactors29. This was accompanied by Eschenbach and Lewis30, which also described the use ofspreadsheets for more basic problems.One of us has been teaching a graduate engineering economics course for the past several years.The course is an elective, offered once per year in the Technology Management department.Most

Another aim was building a global creativity community,connecting learners around the world with a passion for change. These topics and skills are ofparticular importance to engineering students as they learn to create our technological future, butthey are equally important to students in other disciplines as they solve the most pressingproblems in their respective domains. The integration of engineering and non-engineeringexpertise may, in fact, lie at the heart of solving some of our greatest challenges today.In the following sections, we describe the essence of our MOOC and explore several keyquestions related to our
