The cost of the material used was minimal.

First, industry needs and current courses are probed to determine if a new course isneeded or existing course(s) should be updated. Then, pedagogy is developed and implemented(accordingly). Finally, student outcomes are assessed. Professional feedbacks and studentoutcomes are considered to improve the pedagogy.
