ENHANC(E)ing Engineering Perspectives: The European MOOC Responsible Innovators of Tomorrow

Being one of the visions of the European University Alliance ENHANCE, the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) Responsible Innovators of Tomorrow was developed by the Chair of Gender and Diversity in Engineering (GDI) at RWTH Aachen University to drive responsible social transformation. The MOOC integrates the expertise of various European experts and contexts to offer students an interdisciplinary and holistic perspective on current topics in Responsible Research and Innovation and Science and Technology Studies. Intended for mandatory integration in all Bachelor curricula of the ten ENHANCE universities, the MOOC is one step towards a broad introduction to Future Skills in technical study programs. This practice paper describes the process of development and implementation as well as our experiences with conceptualizing and implementing the MOOC at the European level to guide future similar projects.
