Quality Education Proposal for Online Education First-rate content developed by experts (3 NAE members, over 10 IEEE Fellows) from academia and industry Unlike MOOCs: Limited class sizes (75 or so) Rigorous: Quizzes, HW, class projects, Proctored Exams Highly Affordable! 18
Rationale for Offering Online Courses and a Terminal Master s Degree 1.Educated Workforce 2.Make a large selection of courses available to students nationwide 3.Keep certain power-related courses, critical to national infrastructure, from disappearing 19
