Abstract As a part of McDonnell Academy Energy and Environment Partnership (MAGEEP), McDonnell Academy partner universities are networked and collaborating on various projects related to energy and environment. The consortium of 35 universities and corporate partners work together on energy, environmental, and sustainability research, education, and operations. MAGEEP’s mission is to collectively identify and collaboratively tackle important global energy and environmental challenges in an integrated and holistic manner. In addition to the university partnerships, to unite all 35 MAGEEP partners with industry and non-governmental organizations on education, MAGEEP Education Network (MAGENet) was established in 2015. Each partner university has its own training and degree programs in energy and environment-related areas. The MAGENet is, however, based on co-utilizing the educational resources and expertise of all faculty at the 35 institutions. An added advantage is in the networking with the corporate sector and developing a model for education with links to industry, government, and non-governmental organizations. An exclusive framework is proposed as a networked approach to establish courses and certificate programs on energy and environment while developing a model for education with links to industry, government, and non-governmental organizations. The overall network will be guided by a MAGEEP educational advisory committee consisting of faculty members from interested institutions. We will demonstrate the use of a CANVAS platform to illustrate how educational modules are set up. Specifically, we will give examples of aerosol modules that have been set up on this platform.
