programs are morepopular at the graduate level for a number of reasons. First, online graduate programs are moreaccessible and flexible for the needs of the audience.10 Secondly, graduate courses typically arenot as heavily laboratory-based as undergraduate programs, requiring less in-personeducation.11-12 Third, while undergraduate education is typically accredited by organizations suchas ABET, master’s programs are typically not accredited, allowing universities more flexibilityin offering some graduate courses online.12Additionally, looking at online enrollment by degree program reveals some interesting trends. A2013 study by Pontes and Pontes indicated that students enrolled in engineering are significantlyless likely to be enrolled in

Some studies have indicated institutional barriers to the success of Black and Latino malestudents in engineering and related fields [7]. Long et al., in studying this topic, analyzedinterviews with nearly 50 Black and Latino collegians to better understand barriers that mightnegatively impact their maximization of their success, identifying inadequate advising; poorquality teaching; limited course offerings; and insufficient financial aid as primary barriers.

tacticoutlined, however, points towards the most extreme consideration: the concept of eliminating thecost of textbooks in courses altogether. This concept has been promulgated recently in themovement to Open Educational Resources, or OER. While these are often considered to be“free” materials, UNESCO defines OER in a more expository manner as “teaching, learning andresearch materials in any medium – digital or otherwise – that reside in the public domain orhave been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use, adaptation andredistribution by others with no or limited restrictions.” [15] This definition is intended to speakmore to the availability of materials rather than their quality; i.e. the goal is to find ways to widenthe
