easilyanalyze complicated problems while reducing the potential for errors. Using financialcalculators allows students to focus on analyzing the problem rather than completing tediouscalculations.Clickers encourage students to be more engaged in class and allow instructors to efficientlyobtain feedback from the class at regular intervals. Rather than relying on experience andintuition to judge how well students are grasping the concepts, instructors can quickly determineif a sufficient majority of the class is ready to proceed or whether another example problem isneeded. This is a powerful tool for engineering economy where complex concepts can stymiestudents that normally excel in quantitative analysis.Using the two technologies together is
