MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are top universities' digital innovative educational resources and provides
broadly, are open to the public, offer teaching guidance, and conduct interactive exchanges. MOOCs has been a
reasonably widespread entrant in the field of open and distance education. This innovative approach is pronounced
to have the potential to transform learning and development in developing countries by providing eager learners
with ready access to knowledge. MOOCs has become one of the most concerned topics in the open and distance
education landscape. Along with the appearance of the information society, MOOCs has the great potential to
transform people's traditional learning idea and ways. Many MOOCs are prepared and served in specialised online
platforms. The topics of the courses vary widely; at the same time, the number of courses increases in engineering.
Since the first MOOCs launched in 2008, MOOCs literature has grown tremendously. There are several types of
research conducted about various topics in the MOOCs arena. This paper is an attempt to make an effort via a
Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats (SWOT) analysis of engineering education in developing countries
in the current MOOCs landscape. Finally, the paper will conclude with recommendations considering engineering
education’s possible paths forward concerning MOOCs.
