This activity requires little class time yet reinforcesABET criteria that “students attain: (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (g) an ability to communicate effectively (h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context (j) a knowledge of contemporary issues”38Specifically, objectives (f) and (j) are often difficult to measure within the traditional curriculum.Thus each examination in the class included a short answer question requiring the students toidentify some set number of current issues related to ship dynamics

This paper utilizes a Systems Engineering lens to explore whether MOOCs should beconsidered a disruptive innovation or if they are just another teaching method to support thecurrent educational market place. Although MOOCs may influence all educational levels, thispaper is focused on their impact on the undergraduate arena. A review of the current state andattributes of MOOCs will be presented along with a descriptive analysis if this emergingtechnology has the potential to be a truly disruptive innovation

In addition, student evaluations for the Surface Scienceportion of this course were quite positive, and this indicated that the students were receptive tothe experiment and analysis of their data. It is worth noting that a recent article13 has confirmedthat the Gibbs adsorption method used in this experiment (see Eq.
