a combine or tractor, and is similar to payingstudent loans.This paper discusses a proposed study on the effects of engineering economics and student loandebt. The paper proposes topic areas in engineering economy and shows how these topic areaswere used in an initial study on PhD students. The research shows that not all PhD students havethe expected financial understanding even though they were pursuing PhD’s in engineering. It isbelieved that the study on undergraduate students will yield more benefit and help tackle themounting student loan debt in the US.References[1] M.

sources. Most students were able to identify potential moral or ethicalproblems and were also able to draw appropriate connections between personal morals, the Codeof Ethics for Engineers, and the situations described in the cases. Not surprisingly, studentsoften took strong positions surrounding the central issue(s) in the cases. The main difficultystudents had with was articulating a counter perspective when they perceived a clear ethicalproblem.The papers were evaluated using a scoring rubric in which points were awarded for addressingthe guiding questions (10 points), quality of writing (5 points), and how well they justified theirfinal position on the case (5 points). The summary from Part 1 was evaluated against the guidingquestions and
