betweenengineers’ professional and organizational work values, it is not possible to neatly dichotomizetheir careers using mutually exclusive tracks. Nearly a quarter of the sample valued technicalAND managerial orientations, while another quarter scored low on both orientations.More recently, a small but growing body of literature has begun to highlight a wider range ofengineers’ workplace realities. For example, Tremblay and his colleagues surveyed 900engineers in Quebec, Canada in the early 2000s and found multiple, divergent career paths—technical, managerial, project-based, hybrid and entrepreneurial [8]. Compared to engineers onthe two traditional paths, they found that project managers and those on hybrid paths quicklyreached a pay plateau, and

Also, recent advances in technology andin ideology have unlocked entirely new directions for education research. At the center ofthis discussion is the flipped classroom. This paper presents an ongoing study on how tointegrate MOOC courses with an on campus course, adopting both the flipped classroomand self-directed learning paradigms. The authors created and recorded four courses, 2DCAD, 2D CAD project, 3D CAD and 3D CAD project, on Coursera, a popular MOOCplatform.
