These topics and skills are ofparticular importance to engineering students as they learn to create our technological future, butthey are equally important to students in other disciplines as they solve the most pressingproblems in their respective domains. The integration of engineering and non-engineeringexpertise may, in fact, lie at the heart of solving some of our greatest challenges today.In the following sections, we describe the essence of our MOOC and explore several keyquestions related to our

benefits of active learning, the nextquestion may be, “How do engineering faculty incorporate active learning in the classroom giventhe constraints of time and the amount of material that needs to be covered?” One potentialanswer to this question is the flipped or inverted classroom. The flipped or inverted classroomcan be defined as one where students obtain content from technology and apply that content withhelp from the instructor in class (Margulieux et al. 2014). The flipped classroom provides ameans of enabling the same amount of material to be covered by having students first interactwith the content outside of the classroom and then spend class time actively engaging with thematerial they were introduced to prior to attending class.With
