This wasaccomplished by developing resources and teaching strategies that could be employed in avariety of delivery formats (e.g., fully online, online/hybrid, flipped face-to-face, etc.), providingflexibility for local community colleges to leverage according to their individual needs. Thispaper focuses on the iterative development, testing, and refining of the resources for anintroductory Materials Science course with 3-unit lecture and 1-unit laboratory components.

Engineering Itself Changed for Technology Innovation?The answer is Yes. One of the major findings that has clearly emerged from the National Collaborative Task Force analysis is the fact that the modern process and practice of engineering for creative technology development and innovation has itself changed substantially [particularly in aerospace and the nation’s defense] from the outmoded, linear basic research-driven paradigm of engineering practice reflected by U.S. Science Policy established in 1945 [V. Bush ─ Science: the Endless Frontier]. 7 This subtlety is rather profound. It points to the premise that for our nation’s engineers to innovate in the new innovation-driven economy, then the U.S. system of engineering education

Or an aerospace will have more experience in thermo or dynamics management than a BME will.
