Engineering Education, 2012 ANALYSIS AND DEVELOPMENT OF A MODEL FOR THE CAUSES OF COST AND TIME OVERRUNS IN ENGINEERING PROJECTSAbstractCost and time overruns have been the most disgusting problems in most engineeringprojects. There are number of factors such as funds unavailability at the proper time,unavailability of skilled manpower, incapability of management to manage projectproperly, lack of commitment from project team and problems in the of supply of rawmaterial on time. By understanding the causes of cost and time overruns, we cancontrol cost and time overruns in engineering projects. These overruns may be due toexternal or internal factors that make engineering projects to delay and over budget.The main

college of engineering has been offering a minorprogram in microsystems and nanotechnology. This has recently been upgraded to a major.Concurrently, efforts are underway to introduce this new field in existing courses, so as to enticestudent’s interest. This study deals with creating a nanotechnology module in our course inEngineering Economy. A typical course work in engineering economy includes employingvaluation tools and benefit-cost analysis (among many others) to study the financial feasibility ofengineering projects. Unfortunately, for projects involving nanotechnology, the finances aremainly speculative since commercial applications of nanotechnology are mainly at its infancy.Hence, we targeted small and medium enterprises (SME’s) dealing

in which capstone design courses differ between engineering programsis the type of design project students complete. There has been a recent trend for engineeringprograms to partner with industry to provide capstone design projects direct from the “realworld.” In 1994, industry projects accounted for approximately 59% of capstone design projectsin surveyed engineering programs, compared to 71% in 2005.4,8 Not only do these projectsenrich students’ appreciation of educational relevance, but they are also beneficial in establishingindustry ties to programs and encouraging faculty professional development.3 Industrysponsored projects present a number of drawbacks, however, including difficulty in findingprojects, determining an appropriate

The field of engineering economy provides these tools. In order to make asound decision, a three-phase approach to evaluate the risk of a project is necessary: 1. Identify the risk, or risks, of an investment project. 2. Analyze the identified risk(s) of the project. 3. Assess how the identified risks
