These professionals are synchronized with thecourse syllabus, such that they are able to reinforce the specific material being taught around the time they are speaking. Inthe Technical Sales 2 course, students are required to individually be assigned to a specific company which they present tothe class (every two weeks), and attempt to improve, that company's sales organization to the other students in the class.Therefore, the final project for students in the Technical Sales 2 course is to design an improved process for part of that salesorganization's function.Another element of the structure of both courses is the addition of inter

Through analysis of the structural debates listed above, the paper discusses flexible curriculum components and multiple half-term courses to suit the needs of individual student schedules and correspondence to design studios.

This reflection was guided by three overarchingquestions: 1) how were theoretical course concepts applied in the development of a newgraduate-level online engineering course, 2) what were the challenges in developing this course,and 3) what lessons were learned that will aid in the development of future courses? Thesequestions were answered by examining the contributions made by different bodies of literature,and how these were synthesized during the development project.
