capacityfor science, engineering, technology, and mathematics (STEM) MOOC evaluation and research.This project focuses on the following research questions: (1) What constructs contribute tolearners’ behavior in advanced STEM MOOCs? (2) What stakeholder needs inform theirdecisions in offering and designing advanced STEM MOOCs? and (3) What is a contextsensitive, generalizable framework of evaluation for advanced STEM MOOCs? To answer theseresearch questions, we triangulate information from: stakeholder interviews, surveys of learners,and learner analytics.IntroductionMassive open online courses, or MOOCS, have caused much discussion in both media outletsand academic journals.

broadly. A nationallyrepresentative study of engineering instructors and administrators showed that both programchairs and instructors reported their programs and courses gave only slight to moderate emphasison understanding how engineering solutions could be shaped by social, environmental, political,and cultural contexts or considerations, despite acknowledging the importance of such emphases[12]. Relatedly, in a longitudinal study of undergraduate engineering students, Cech [13], [14]found that students’ beliefs in the importance of professional and ethical responsibilities,awareness of the consequences of technology, understanding of how people use machines, andtheir social consciousness all declined over the course of their degree program

American students have not seen commensurate increases in engineering fields.Diversifying the undergraduate engineering population has important consequences for ournation’s ability to meet the increasing demands for a larger technological and scientific laborforce. While diversifying engineering in the aggregate is both timely and critical, it is equallyimportant to consider the level of diversity within each engineering discipline (e.g., Mechanical,Civil, Electrical, Chemical). When engineering disciplines are disaggregated, it is clear that somedisciplines are less diverse than others. Focusing on diversity at the discipline level has importantimplications for the design of effective department level programs and curricular interventions
