implications of technological advancements. Diversescenarios are analyzed, requiring students to identify key issues, evaluate solutions, and considerconsequences, while structured discussions promote debate and challenge assumptions. In thiscourse, students analyze scenarios and explore the intersection between product development,project management, and the lifecycle and societal impact of technology. Real-world case studiesdemand in-depth analysis of technology-related dilemmas, challenging students to considerethical dimensions and balance economic, social, and technological factors.To reinforce engineering economic concepts, weekly activities in project management topicsallow the students to analyze engineering economics and integrate answers

highlight AI's role in providing real-timefeedback, simulating real-world scenarios, and solving complex problems, thus preparingstudents for industry challenges. Additionally, Harris and Kittur [2]emphasize the need forundergraduate engineering students to leverage generative AI, such as large language models, tostay competitive in the rapidly evolving technological landscape. However, concerns about theethical use and accuracy of AI-generated content persist, suggesting that AI's integration intocurricula must be carefully managed to avoid undermining academic integrity [3], [4]. Forexample, Peuker [4] investigates the utilization of generative AI among first-year mechanicalengineering students, showing that while students recognize the potential

education, accreditationbodies like the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) encourage theintegration of economic considerations throughout the engineering curriculum, suggesting thateconomic principles and analysis may be incorporated into various courses and projects forengineering students. Programs such as civil engineering include an explanation of concepts andprinciples in project management and engineering economics in student outcomes [1]. Thecurriculum must explain some, but not necessarily all, of the key concepts and principles, andthere is no obligation to assess students’ ability to explain the key concepts and principles.Most undergraduate engineering programs introduce economics through a complete course
