MOOC, the colleges gained significantinsight into the challenges and opportunities associated with the technology and pedagogyassociated with MOOCs. In particular: There are a variety of reasons to offer MOOCs including: marketing / organizational awareness, outreach, providing professional development, support enrollment in “traditional” programs, etc. It is imperative that the goal(s) be clearly established early so that appropriate decisions regarding design and development can be made which support the goals. Very careful attention to content management minimizes issues when the course is offered. Video accessibility issues need to be carefully planned and managed.

. Arc Flash is due to the rapidrelease of energy caused by an arcing fault between two phases or from a phase to ground of anAC power circuit. The discharge of energy may be massive and vaporize copper causing an arcblast devastating everything in its path. This may be more easily described in the followingfigure or from the YouTube video inadvertently shown in the EET class a year ago. The resultsare devastating.Why the focus on Arc Flash?The study of arc flash dates to the early 1980's paper "The Other Electrical Hazard: Electric ArcBlast Burns" by Ralph Lee which was published in the IEEE Transactions on IndustrialApplications.

The Dean of the College includes past projects inhis presentations and also uses IMET projects as a way to approach potentially beneficialindustrial contacts. Most industrial representatives that visit Bradley’s College of Engineering andTechnology are given a tour of the IMET Dept.’s Capstone Design facilities and a presentation ofproject activities.• Industry Contacts – Industry contacts developed through the capstone projects often serve as astarting point for the university’s development efforts.

trained in response to the 1960’s space race.Engineers have strong backgrounds in mathematics, physics and chemistry; practiced analyticalskills; and an appreciation for integrated systems. To remain competitive, tomorrow’sengineering undergraduate must have a strong background in biology as well. Our long-termobjective is the development of a curriculum that integrates biology to a degree comparable tothe current integration of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Ultimately, our goal is todramatically overhaul existing engineering curricula and integrate biology for engineers withinall levels of formal engineering education. Some of the short and long-term benefits of thechanges we propose include developing a pool of qualified undergraduate
thatgraduates of U. S. programs currently enter, the study of traditional subjects only such asprocesses, materials, tooling, etc. does not prepare students for the increasing variety of systems,components, and processes used in modern manufacturing. Accordingly, when the firstengineering program at Southwest Texas State University was initiated in the fall of 2000, wemade plans to redesign existing courses and develop new courses to meet the educational needs of21st-century manufacturing engineers.Background Southwest Texas State University was founded in 1899 as Southwest Texas State NormalSchool. Until the school adopted its present status of a university in 1969, its mission wasprimarily to provide the state of Texas with K-12 teachers

Figure 1 shows the structure of the education system in Iran Some of the reasons that biotechnology education has not been developed in K-12 educationsystem of Iran are as follows:1. Biotechnology is a relatively young field that is interdisciplinary. As a result, it has often not beenclear which department(s) should offer biotechnology topics.2. Managers, curriculum planners and teachers in related departments are not sufficiently familiar withbiotechnology.3. There is a lack of skilled biotechnology specialists and teachers in K-12 educational system.4. There is scarcity of appropriate textbooks and other

The entire class was then involved with adiscussion of alternative material and process choices that included performance and costdifferences.

In fact, the community can now look to the university to partner inevaluating and solving other problems. Therefore, there is a pedagogical rationale for using CSLand an opportunity to establish collaborative relationships with community partners. If properlyimplemented, this service can bridge across the various academic disciplines of the university andbecome a vital part of the students’ educational experience. This implementation andpartnership(s) must be maintained continuously.Acknowledgements The authors would like to thank the Fall 2002
