Engineers Need to Be Thinking About Free Classes

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) is opening up new world for the motivated.  A key skill set for the engineer of the future is the self-motivation to take advantage of tremendous opportunities.  This future is really about both the motivated and the motivators - those engineering managers that can lead their staffs in the coming economy of self-motivation.

One opportunity is at Wharton.  The Wharton school at the University of Pennsylvania recently launched four MOOCs on Coursera's platform.  One of these is an introduction to marketing.
