I don't hire engineers, but I am one. I've never heard this advice about not putting MOOCs on your resume, and if I were hiring, I would likely consider any MOOC (with a decent grade if applicable) to be better than nothing. Can the OP of the comment say more about the reasoning?

Am OP of comment, I believe the reasoning is that the quality of MOOCs varies wildly and there is often no way to confirm that a student actually completed the content or how well they did? Another reason could be that the sheer number of MOOCs that a student might take would just add noise to your resume?
I'm not sure that's accurate, but I've had many people tell me to avoid putting anything about MOOCs on a resume.
