Engineeringenrollments have been historically dominated by white, male students. During recent years, enrollmentsof minority and female students in engineering have increased, but still lag far behind their levels bypopulation proportion. Since 1993, the percent of women studying engineering has fluctuated between17.7 and 20.1%.

Sargent, anhistorian) and explained his idea of a combined course which would explore the engineeringand humanistic side of structures throughout history. Sargent was very enthusiastic aboutthe course, because he recognized immediately its potential for real interdisciplinarycooperation. Both authors agreed on the basic course outline after a few hours of intensediscussion. After that it was all implementation. Sargent believes that engineering studentsshould consider the historical, social, and cultural aspects of buildings, because engineeringdoesn’t happen in a

This encourages team members tocooperate beyond the homework and to help each other in preparation for the tests. Myexperience so far has been that when some groups receive this bonus while others have not, thenfor subsequent tests, it gives extra motivation for the group(s) that missed out.

The success inmeeting these expectations is primarily based on the materials in the financial analysis course(s)similar to graduate level engineering economics.Several studies have examined the financial analysis tools that corporations employ [1,2]. Butthese studies did not specifically track the translation of these tools into the engineeringmanagement work place at the operating manager (first level manager, second level manager,and program / project manager) and engineer level. Consequently they are of limited use to theMEM instructor since they provide high - level organizational data, primarily from larger publicsector firms. The
