initiative is the first, and currently the only one of its kind,which makes college credit available at scale, worldwide. It also provides a pathway toadmission to the university for students who may not otherwise qualify. The MOOC explores theNational Academy of Engineering (NAE)’s Grand Challenges for Engineering and related globalchallenges. This course, based on an on-ground counterpart offered at ASU, is designed to alsohelp students develop the necessary interdisciplinary systems perspective and entrepreneurialmindset to solve the complex global challenges presented. This course fuses engineering with thesocial sciences, asking students to explore the interactions between society and technology,including the influences of human behavior

curricular innovation but also rises tothe challenge of providing globally relevant engineering education.Project ContextThe Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), founded in 1903 is an educational institutionbased on an applications-oriented curriculum. From the beginning, leaders of business andindustry cooperated in the institution's development, and a close relationship was established thathas continued throughout the school’s history.The Biomedical Engineering Program at MSOE was started as a Biomedical EngineeringTechnology program in 1969. In the mid 1980’s the program moved from a technology focus toan engineering focus, and was ABET accredited as one of the first four Biomedical Engineeringprograms in the country in 1990. MSOE’s

At the end ofthe course, students prepare a white paper and present a PowerPoint to the senior managerswithin the participating agency(s).This Practicum course accomplishes several objectives. It provides students with real worldexperience in the analysis of transportation issues. It gives them experience communicating theresults of their work to industry managers. And, critical to this discussion, it provides thestudents with experience working with teams of people from other disciplines, who havedifferent talents, vocabularies, and approaches to problem solving.The spring of 2007 marked the fifth spring in which this course was offered.

Several local employers in a recent industrial advisorymeeting expressed a need for computing. During the meeting, Mr. S. Manir Zaman ofIAV, Inc. expressed an interest in offering co-ops to students with training in computing.As a result, students are also expected to obtain knowledge in computing such as C++ Page 14.94.3and MATLAB. To meet this goal, computing tools will be used in most courses.NeedThe Governor of Michigan has been

teamwork across disciplines aremultidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity. The two concepts have a great deal common, but mayentail slightly different outcomes for participants and for their projects.Briefly, in multidisciplinary work, collaborators work together on a problem. Each bringsexpertise, but, as Borrego and Newswander explain in their overview of cross-disciplinaryengineering collaboration, “collaborators leave the project without having learned much aboutthe other discipline(s). Each researcher continues on his or her own independent trajectory,unchanged by the experience [8].” This means that, while multidisciplinary work brings togetherpeople with different ways of conceptualizing and operating on problems, each takes on

In other words, is a methodology that can beemployed to plan and formulate the solution to a problem so that the steps necessary can be carriedout by either a computer or a person. One characterization that is used to define the CT involvesthe following four core cornerstones: 1) decomposition, 2) pattern recognition, 3) abstraction, and4) algorithms [4].

A geophysicist by academic training, he began to design multimedia applications for teaching and learning in the late 1990’s, developing his first online course in 1996. Since then, he has helped a few hundred faculty from varied disciplines develop hybrid and online courses. He has also taught traditional, hybrid and online courses ranging in size from 28 to 250. He is also co-developer of a Digital Academy which was a finalist for the Innovation Award by the Professional and Organizational Development Network and an Innovation Award winner.

Practices for Team-Based Assistive Design CoursesDue to the increasing number of studies highlighting the benefits assistive technology and otherreal-world biomedical application courses, more of these course types have begun to emerge. Asa result, there is a need for best practices and standardization of such courses. Goldberg andPearlman discuss best practices for team-based assistive technology design courses in a surveypaper. They identify and encourage the use of eight best practices: 1. Identifying a client through a reliable clinical partner; 2. Allowing for transparency between the instructors, the client, and the team(s); 3. Establishing multi-disciplinary teams; 4. Using a process-oriented vs. solution-oriented product
