taken a lead role in addressing this issue, investing inquality programs that prepare the state’s K-12 students to proceed into engineering degreecurricula. This is a large project due to the state’s social economics and students’ STEMpreparedness. According to the Arkansas Department of Education 2015-2016 data, 61% ofpublic school students receive free or reduced lunch with 41% of Arkansas school districtscontaining populations where at least 70% of students receive free or reduced lunch (15 districtsbetween 90% - 100%).[3] According to ACT, Arkansas students perform lower than the nationalaverage on all sections, especially in math (below a 20).[4] This means outreach activities areimperative to help expose, excite, and prepare students to

education. In this paper, we present an overview of asemester-long research project for a graduate course in Capital Budgeting. At the core of theproject is a student-developed Capital Budgeting simulation model. This model is used both as atool for examining the effectiveness of existing capital project ranking methods such as IRR,NPV, and Payback, and also as a research platform for testing new ranking and selectionmethods. The project consists of three phases. The first phase is comprised of individual workwhere students design and program a basic Capital Budgeting simulation model using MicrosoftExcel and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). During the second phase, students transitioninto small self-selected teams to validate and then expand

Over the past few years, the projects haveincreased in complexity and have shifted from facility layout and safety based projects to nowinclude tool and process design, with the added benefit that many of the companies are taking theprojects and implementing them at some point after students have

Although engineering economic analysis forpublic and private projects often employ complicated analytical techniques to buttress thedecision to proceed or to discard them, the underlying principles are easily understood andabsorbed by freshmen.The problem I selected this year was the case of a small municipality (similar to the size andpopulation of the town where the university is located – about 23,000 residents) deciding toreplace its current sodium vapor street lights heads with LED street light heads.

Class AbstractThis paper describes an effort to enrich the Engineering Economics course by adding readings,class discussion topics and a research paper. The goal is to help students understand the non-quantitative side of engineering economics. In particular, students are exposed to examples ofusing engineering or business techniques to benefit people in need, and to introduce notions ofrisk and the quality movement.IntroductionThe majority of Engineering Economics textbooks cover the numerical basis for estimatingcosts, evaluating and comparing projects based on cash flows and computing taxes. This reflectsthe material needed for the FE exam very directly. The focus is on quantitative analysis based
