Science CoursesAbstractOnline teaching and learning has become a popular pedagogy for educators and students due tothe flexibility and accessibility of course materials. Many educators revised and redesigned theircourses and the methods of teaching to convey their courses online. Course managementsystems such as Blackboard, Moodle, and many others are widely adopted by universities andcolleges to provide a platform for educators to offer their courses in online settings. In addition,textbook publishers have started to develop and offer teaching resources such as; lecture slides,question banks, quizzes, and exams to assist online teaching. Although platforms and resourcesare available to support online teaching, designing, developing, and teaching

strategies and processes, as well as typical courses on industrial controland machining design, analyze known situations and consider given design goals.By contrast, RMS methodologies are based on design for a future change and a future re-use of components. With the RMS, the essence of decision making involves aconsideration of the future. The future is inherently unknown, and the forces conspiringto produce the future often lie well outside the conventional designer and managerpurview. The essential question was how does one make engineering decisions in thiscontext? The new decisions would depend on the following facts: • The forces shaping the future of a particular industry are not understood. • The rate at which these facts

. Hope for those overlooked by engineers, and hope for academics to rejuvenate interest in engineering education, research, and practice. At University X multiple international sustainable development programs focused on developing communities have coalesced into the D80 Center, focused on providing hope to the 80% of the world’s population poorly served by engineered goods, services, and infrastructure. Based on ten years of experience, the programs clearly resonate with a more diverse student body and produce more well-rounded, global-minded engineers, as compared to traditional programs. Future obstacles include dealing with the demand of such programs with limited faculty, staff, and financial support
