literature shows several activities that have been developed by educators tointroduce middle and high school students to the transportation engineering profession. Lukenand Mumbower (2010) proposed three such activities. The first investigated the tradeoff betweenvarious modes of transportation. The second aimed at informing students about design objectivesin transportation projects. The third focused on users of transportation systems and the role ofengineers in accommodating their needs. In the third activity, students were tasked with planningthe daily activities of a household of two parents and two children. Elam et al.

, positionopenings in physics, chemistry, and math are commonly the hardest to fill with qualifiedpersonnel [1]. This disparity has led to a large percentage of STEM teachers with no collegemajor or minor in their main subjects, or they have no complete certification. Among mathteachers, 40% fall into this description, while over 60% of physics, chemistry, and earth scienceteachers do so[2].This concern over STEM shortages is justified as STEM jobs are projected to grow by 13% from2012 - 2022 which is an increase of about 1 million jobs over a 10 year period. Only 5% ofUnited States workers are employed in STEM jobs, but these jobs drive 50% of the UnitedStates’ economic growth.

In that book, Covey2 describes aprogression from dependence to independence, followed by interdependence. This closely mirrorsthe ideal path of a Computer Science student: they start in lower level classes being dependent onthe instructor and the textbook in order to acquire the

. Yet muchremains to be learned about how to hone MOOCs into cost-effective tools that provide valuewithout overly burdening a cost-sensitive public education system. This paper provides insightinto the issue by reporting on the efforts of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (CalPoly Pomona) to scale-up a MOOC from a small $8000 pilot project. The pilot MOOC was a 10-week introduction to computer programming course that took place during Spring 2014 and wasopen to everyone in the world for free. Over 2100 participants enrolled in the pilot MOOC with16% successfully completing the course. Results from the pilot MOOC were reported in theProceedings of the 2015 ASEE Annual Conference.A scaled-up version of the pilot MOOC took place
