able to understand. A survey by Lavelle, et al.1 displayed that fewerthan half of participants used effective educational practices (i.e. collaborative grouping) whenteaching engineering economics. By promoting a more engaging and holistic learning approach,students can have the opportunity to become better problem solvers.Accordingly, ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) has published strictcourse outcome requirements for accredited programs. It is the intent of this paper to highlightvarious methods of teaching engineering economics to students in ways that maximize learning,as well as emphasize its importance for the modern engineer. Through the vigilantimplementation of various teaching styles, experiential learning

anddeployed to Android devices. A growing trend in recent cross-platform app development is to useHTML5 and JavaScript, which are utilized in this version of app development to obtain auniform interface across different mobile platforms. The major benefit is ‘develop once, deployeverywhere’, which means the same code can be deployed to different platforms with littleefforts. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 introduces the history and technologybackground. Section 3 explains our published mobile app, “Engineering Economics Career”.Section 4 concludes the paper and suggests future work. 2. History and Technology Background In Summer 2012, the authors developed the first version of the Engineering Economicsmobile app to

the course.Background and Motivation for the Case Study“The importance and relevance of engineering economic analyses is always emphasized whenstudents discuss their projects with practicing engineers. Without this interaction studentssometimes consider economics to be irrelevant to design – a subject for business students,” anobservation by Archibald, Reuber, and Allison1. Engineering education literature hascontinuously shown that projects with industry can be helpful for undergraduate and graduatestudents, even the processes of soliciting, administering, and managing industry projects thatreinforce academic topics in engineering, technology, manufacturing, project management, lean,and six sigma2-6.
