and investigated: 1) the faculty that teach it, 2) the coursecontent and mechanics itself, and 3) the students that take the course. We are currentlyembarking on a follow-up data collection effort to conduct a longitudinal analysis of this priorstudy. This survey paper presents a review of the most relevant literature published since thissurvey. The pedagogy highlighted in this paper includes problems with current teachingmethods, modern technological advances in the engineering economy classroom, and newapproaches to enhance the classroom experience. These findings support our long term goal ofimproving engineering economy pedagogy by increasing visibility, enhancing instructorknowledge, and influencing external stakeholders such as
