technology growth along that path to disrupt the other market holders. This will not bea surprise to most of the established educational market holders, as most are tracking MOOCsclosely and as mentioned above many have placed heavy investments in their development. Thiswill insure they are key players in the MOOC generation of educators. As the cost of educationincreases and employers are forced to screen new employees more on experience, work ethic andpersonality matches, those involved will continue to see MOOCs taking more and more of theeducational market place, possibly finding their place as a disruptive technology.

The company is not under any obligation to hire the student, andis therefore able to evaluate these potential employees virtually risk-free [20]. Work ethic,technical competence and attitudes can be more easily assessed over a semester or summer ascompared to a one hour interview. Employers are able to offer jobs to those that have proventhemselves to be a good fit for the company [21] and often at a greatly reduced hiring cost. “Theaverage cost of hiring a college recruit that has had internship experience is almost half that ofhiring an experienced individual

RE in the undergraduate Software Engineering and CS curricula is getting moreattention. Working in unfamiliar domains, being cognizant of ethical issues, and having to dealwith ambiguous and conflicting customer requirements are some of the challenges that studentsface in a course like this.The authors have added a practical element to a third year undergraduate course in requirementsfor software engineering (SE) majors through a quarter-long project in which the students workwith clients who have product domain knowledge but often no formal experience in RE. Theclients are biomedical engineering (BE) student design teams. This allows interdisciplinarycollaboration, exposes the SE students to eliciting requirements in an unfamiliar domain

This is an opportunity to encourage studentsto be innovative and creative through class discussions. Asking questions about constructability,sustainability, and ethics will encourage students to participate in learning process beyondtraditional frameworks. Carefully-designed quizzes and class projects are typical assignments toreinforce the outcomes of this stage. The importance of relationship behavior requires faculty toemploy soft human skills rather than just technical skills to lead students in the second and thirdstages.

The engineeringprogram is the largest program within the college. The course is a first year engineering designseminar that meets six hours per week in two hour blocks. The primary course goals include:engineering and communication computer tools, engineering design and design process, writtenand oral communication, engineering in a global economy, and ethics.

The professional skills focus on communication skills, teamwork, ethics andprofessionalism; in addition to “awareness skills” as coined by Shuman4 et al, which translatesinto engineering within the global and the societal contexts coupled with life-long learning andthe knowledge of contemporary issues. Moreover, there is a recent trend of what can be called“Add-on” skills that come to complement the core engineering

All freshmanstudents who are interested in engineering are welcomed to take a broad-based preliminarycourse Introduction to Engineering at the Department of Engineering. It was initially offeredonce a year in fall. Later, due to increasing enrollment, it has been offered in both fall and springsemesters since the 2009-2010 academic year. It meets for two 50-minute sessions each weekduring a 15-week semester. Roughly, the content is divided into two parts: lectures and labs.

Lifelong education can provide a response to the growing job volatility thatmost forecasters predict. Increasingly, people will be changing jobs several timesin a lifetime, and education can no longer be limited to offering a singlespecialization, but must develop each person‟s ability to change course during hisor her lifetime, and to cope with economic and social change. The process ofcultivating a lifelong learning ethic can be a fascinating and rewarding learningexperience by itself for human resource specialists.
