construction personnel are more likelyto be injured on the job 18-21.The dynamic nature of construction work and task unpredictability on projects makes hazardrecognition difficult 22. In fact, a study conducted by Carter and Smith23 indicate a largeproportion of hazards as not being identified or assessed on typical projects. As a result,construction personnel are exposed to hazards that they are unaware of 24,25, which increases therisk of injury occurrence. During preconstruction planning, hazard evaluation generally involvespredicting task-methods and associated hazards. A risk analysis is then performed to identifyappropriate injury prevention techniques. Such approaches are common in research literature.For example, Mitropoulos and Guillama26

. These are alternatives to preferred sizes forshaft cross-sectional diameters. Using preferred sizes in design reduces component varieties andminimizes production cost. It also maximizes the benefits of standardization of components andproducts. Adopting metric prefer sizes at the design phase ensures that subsequent planning anddecisions will be metric based. Design Instructors (technical and non-technical) in our collegesand universities thus have the greatest leverage in accelerating metrication if they would chooseto “go metric”. If graduates of technology and engineering are competent in SI units beforegraduation, they can make a profound impact on the economy and country due to the fact thattechnology drives modern economies.

Currently, the authors hypothesize that their return on investment must be more thansimply enhancing their already outstanding reputations and attracting even more qualified stu-dents. There could be other ways of recovering this investment, by charging for completion cer-tificates, student testing, and certain forms of advertising on online pages, e.g., as is currentlypracticed by many web site providers. Moreover, once tuition is charged for online offerings,schools could charge much less than normal but with many more students, they could reap muchgreater revenues than for on-campus learning.

On the other hand, ifthe reputable institutions rush too carelessly into MOOCs, they could end upreducing their educational stronghold by diluting their brand. Thus, it is importantfor universities to plan carefully their long-term goals in entering the the MOOCmovement, and control the quality of the courses being posted (Lewin, 2012b).This paper is organized as follows: Section 2 reviews and compares the

Instead, theinstructor finds himself metaphorically “negotiating a swiftly flowing river” in class.15 Thisrequires agile teaching and the flexibility to deal with the unexpected, which is perhaps outsidesome instructors’ comfort zones, particularly for novices or those not confident of the subjectmatter.3 Additionally, it encourages the instructor to give thought beforehand to possible studentmisconceptions and alternative routes for constructing correct understandings, so that on-the-flyadjustments may be more effective.
