While we love to tell students that anengineering degree is an excellent preparation for other professions such as law or medicine, thepossibility that the degree should prepare the graduate for a broad set of post-baccalaureateopportunities not necessarily limited to engineering plays little role in the curricular design. Thisreliance on a pipeline metaphor may play a significant role in the huge disparity betweenengineering and most other college majors in the demographic of in-migration of students fromother majors11.The final result is the expanded table that we provide in Table 2.

However, just as important ashaving first class content, is that the learning activities designed for students using thiscontent are likely to help students learn optimally. To help academics who are contemplatingusing Open Courseware material, guidelines are needed to help them reflect on how best toget their students to learn. The goal is to move away from a focus on teaching, that is, whatthe lecturer told the students, to a focus on activities that would help students learn.
