OER are freelyaccessible learning materials for students to use and can be licensed for instructors to modify andredistribute. OER development in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)disciplines has primarily been focused on large enrollment introductory courses such asIntroduction to Mechanical Engineering or Introduction to Physics. A common complaint amongMines faculty is the lack of existing OER to support high-level courses or niche subject areas,such as groundwater engineering or advanced manufacturing. Recognizing the need forhigh-quality OER across the curriculum, the

Keyfeatures of the proposed approach include hands-on experience, team-based project, and learner-centered education. A computer engineering course, offered mainly for senior and graduatestudents is used for the case study.Proposed ApproachA typical curriculum design consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, andevaluation activities, which are operationalized in specific tactics (Asaduzzaman et al., 2013;Dick et al., 1985; Gustafson et al., 2002; Hardre, 2003; Lunenberg, 2002; Richey et al., 2001,Seels et al., 1991; and Whitman et al., 2014).

an importantdriving force for engineering education reform programs. As basic science and engineeringbecome increasingly intertwined in fields such as nanotechnology, molecular self-organization,molecular electronics, and microbiological synthesis13, students and professionals have to dealwith time scales from the nanosecond to tenths of years, and sizes from the single atoms tomachines many thousands of meters long14. Many researchers and industrial leaders in the field have been pointing out that reforminitiatives are falling short of those new challenges.

, this classical course model is deficient, and mustchange if the future educational needs of our students are to be best satisfied, and our globalcommunity best served. Of particular interest in this context is the exposure of non-engineeringmajors (e.g., management students) to micro/nanotechnology, something they would generallynever encounter in a “normal” college undergraduate curriculum. We offer here an example of asolution to this dilemma by describing a new course introduced at Georgia Tech which dealssquarely with micro/nanotechnology at the undergraduate level, and importantly is intended toserve undergraduate students of all majors (e.g., management, engineering, sciences, etc.) and alleducational levels (freshman through senior).At

Starting in the field of human factors and ergonomics, scholarshave linked sociotechnical ideas to their process of design. In Clegg’s outline of sociotechnicalprinciples, they state how technocentric designs seek to “remove error-prone humans fromprocesses” rather than “viewing humans as assets who can be supported in meeting their goals”(Clegg, 2000, p. 466).

In contrast, to my knowledge, no one has ever succeeded witha program by making a dean (provost or president) look bad. Another concept to learn is theposition of being “dead right” “Yes, you are right, your program would be great for our facultyand the students, but I am going to fund this other program instead.” The goal should be to lookfor ways to get what you both want.
