instructional course has been developed as a training program primarily targetingHigher Education Institution (HEI) engineering educators to equip participants with the skillsnecessary to design and deliver high quality multi-campus programs. This course is designedwith the ongoing trend toward technology-driven education in mind [11].The training course is modular, providing unique completion pathways for course instructors,course designers, TAs, and program directors. Any course attendee may complete all moduleswith very little redundancy, resulting in approximately 12 hours of material including learningactivities. Modules for the curriculum were chosen based on author experiences and literaturereview on MCI. The objective of the course is to build

Computer simulation and data analysis are central to this effort.Computer simulation is used by automobile manufacturers to design better products in shortertimes at lower costs, to discover new and previously overlooked sources of oil and gas, and toimprove industrial processes.3 Data analysis, which involves sifting through terabytes of data todiscover trends and unexpected patterns, is another emerging area of computation that is helpingto improve product design, science

building that the green roof was being designed for was the Technology Center,more commonly called the Tech Center. It originally housed the Engineering Department, andwas one of the first buildings built for campus. When it was constructed, it was intended to havea second story put on top at a later date, so the roof was designed to be a floor to that secondstory, and there are two flights of stairs and even an elevator that connect to the roof. Thesecond story was never added, and the roof of the building therefore was expected to besufficient to support the green roof. This expectation was confirmed by the analysis done in thecivil electives. The roof of the Tech Center is clearly visible from several other campusbuildings, so a green roof
