I think Coursera needs to do a course on game engine architecture with real-world examples (idtech, ogre).

The problem that I see with that is, these engines are difficult to do in one class. Generally, learning that is a full two-year program involving programming, logic, math, 3D design, etc. Using 3D engines gets difficult to teach in a 7 week course unless the student already knows quite a bit.

Should be enough time to understand and implement a basic raycasting engine ala Wolf3D/Doom though.
