While it is not expected tobecome a part of the core curriculum in any of these disciplines in the nearfuture, it is being taught in many universities in the business schools thathave programs in operations research. Since the ideas

economics courses of important topics such as cash flow es-timation, as well as benefiting students who only receive an introductory treatment within otherengineering courses.IntroductionThe teaching of engineering has evolved over time, and today’s students are expected to have anunderstanding of the phenomena that they model and the means to evaluate those models. Somecalculations can be done quickly on a calculator, whereas others, such as least squares curve fit-ting, typically are done on a computer. In fact, some topics might not be taught at all if computa-tional aides were not available, such as optimization or finite differences. This paper examinesthe evolution of engineering economics and technology-driven opportunities for
