and adapted by other instructors, and integrated intotheir own courses and/or GCSP, to reach an even broader audience.The on-ground version of this course uses a lot of active learning techniques and is discussion-based, incorporating activities such as mind mapping, debates, role-play-based simulation,design challenges, and case studies, to help students explore and understand the interdisciplinarynature of the complex global challenges. Additional detail on the on-ground version of the coursecan be found in [2]. This high level of in-person, active learning posed the biggest challenge totranslate to the MOOC. Therefore, in addition to reaping the benefit of modularization forportability, there was also a strong focus and intent on making

of multiphase flows while acquiring skills in high performance parallel computing and scientific computation. Before that, Dr. Ayala hold a faculty position at Universidad de Oriente at Mechanical Engineering Department where he taught and developed graduate and undergraduate courses for a number of subjects such as Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics, Multiphase Flows, Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machinery, as well as Mechanical Engineering Laboratory courses. In addition, Dr. Ayala has had the opportunity to work for a number of engineering consulting companies, which have given him an important perspective and exposure to industry. He has been directly involved in at least 20 different

group lasted one hour and fifteen minutes and included students responding toquestions and also an interactive session where students worked in teams to develop an idealfirst-year engineering course. Questions for the focus group were developed based on figure 2,where we present the major topics explored during the session.Data analysis was conducted by two members of the research team using the thematic analysisapproach outlined by Robson and McCartan [14]. Thematic analysis uses individual experiences,interpretations, realities, and discourse as avenues for exploring the group to which theindividual belongs [24], [25]. For this study, thematic analysis provided a means to understandhow senior engineering students from multiple engineering

Institute of MIT & Harvard, Co-Chair of the MIT New Engineering Education Transformation, and Chair of the MIT Committee on Student Life. Professor Bathe obtained his Doctoral Degree from MIT working in the Departments of Mechanical, Chemical, and Biological Engineering before moving to the University of Munich to carry out his postdoctoral research. He returned to MIT in 2009 to join the faculty in the Department of Biological Engineering, where he runs an interdisciplinary research group focused on the targeted delivery of therapeutic nucleic acids and vaccines, phenotypic profiling of neuronal circuits involved in psychiatric disease, and engineering nucleic acid materials for highly parallel molecular computing
