providers, there is a need for frameworks to guide how to conductevaluation in the ‘massive’ environment. However, researchers have criticized traditionalevaluation metrics are not suitable for MOOC environments. The purpose of this paper is topresent an evaluation framework for large online graduate level engineering courses. Thisframework addresses this need with a comprehensive evaluation plan of practices and outcomesin MOOCs. Modified from Guskey’s (2000) professional development evaluation process, thisframework examines learners’ satisfaction and value alongside performance, as well aspedagogies to support learning, application of content, and integration of the course with long-term institutional goals. We present the five levels of

regions. Cluster is understood as a group of adjacent interrelatedcompanies and connected with them organizations that work in a definite sphere. Thisassociation is characterized by commonness of activity. They mutually reinforce each other.Therefore some researchers point out their positive role in the national economy [9]. Duringthe recent years the term “cluster” was defined rather precisely: it is an industry-specificgeographic concentration of enterprises, closely related branches, mutually promoting eachother’s marketability. Many researchers emphasize strategic framework nature of cluster as itsattributive feature. Peculiar features of clusters are as follows: integrated dynamic structures,stable nuclear of distribution of new knowledge

range oftransferable skills in addition to their subject-specific knowledge and understanding andNorman Fortenbury’s viewIn the first part of this paper, transferable skills are defined and prioritised, and the waysin which they can be developed within the chemical engineering curriculum areconsidered. There is an attempt to assess the extent to which the skills acquired duringeducation are adequate for the requirements of professional employment, using publishedviews of employers and the graduates themselves. Finally, there are some suggestionsabout the implications for the future of chemical engineering education. This analysis ismainly for post graduate level and considers what skill sets may still be lacking.1.1 Transferable Skills

WPI curriculum requirements balance both “soft skills” with acomplementary offering of “technical skills” and depth required in each discipline.

University educators should be responsive to integrate this intothe content, organization, and delivery of high-level technical short courses.1. Introduction Much research has been undertaken to understand and enhance one primary mission ofthe University as an institution: the education of students. The bulk of this work has focused onan interaction where students go to the University in its own context, whether that be a physicalpresence on a campus or through distance learning programs. In each case, the tone of thisinteraction is largely set by the culture of the University, comprised of values, expectations, andstyles of communicating. This approach may benefit many students, who will grow and flourishin the University context; however

To address this lack ofknowledge, ABET criteria requires undergraduate engineering programs to provide students atraining that will help them engaged in lifelong learning; making it an integral part ofengineering education. 3 The efforts of incorporating lifelong self-directed learning intoengineering education resulted in development of tools and techniques. As an example, SDLRSis developed to measure students’ readiness to self-directed learning. 4 A lifelong learning systemis presented to meet the needs of individuals as they progress towards their goals. 5 As theeducators developed tools and

As a result, deficiencies indesign input requirements, and discrepancies between the proposed designs and requirements,are made evident and corrected earlier in the development process. Design controls increase thelikelihood that the design transferred to production will translate into a device that is appropriatefor its intended use. 6 Medical product development from concept to market requires a considerable amount ofknowledge at different job levels.
