As such, thecurriculum was developed and the program was structured so that the practicing professionalcould take one course a quarter and finish within three years. The response of the communitywas positive and the program rapidly grew to approximately 100 students.When it was proposed to offer the degree via distance learning on the Internet, the decision wasmade to maintain

This paper is ultimately a call to action toinspire other educators curious about leveraging the appeal of game physics and PBA.Preliminary evidence presented in the paper suggests that physics can be taught with gamephysics, but with two different groups of researchers (physics/engineering andgames/computing) tackling the approaches for different goals, much remains to be studied: • Assessment of game physics in teaching physics to game programmers. The author’s current course and related work are part of games and graphics curricula that lack the formal assessment seen in ABET and educational research studies. • Investigation of programming environments for non-programmers

This is an example of an interpolative norm, which is anideological norm that is readily adopted and accepted by most of society, and which serves as thebasis for which discrimination takes place [21]. As is the nature of interpolative norms, most ofthese power imbalances were informal in nature.

The course was titled“international Market-Driven Engineering (iMDE)”.The two universities already had cooperative agreements that the course could leverage upon.

Thus, a student could complete two courses (6-credits), dealing with twoclosely related topics, in one semester. In this case, the courses were Digital CommunicationSystems and Wireless Communications.During the first week of the first 7-week course, all of the in-class demonstrations and hands-onexperiences needed to be shifted to online/remote delivery. This was primarily accomplishedusing the Amazon Web Services (AWS) AppStream, cloud computing system.The planned real-world signal capture and analysis project changed to an optional
