instructors work with their technical counterpart(s) toensure the classes are in unison, and that any concerns can be quickly addressed.To implement this course, we worked with the individual senior design course coordinators foreach program and have created and implemented a synchronized timeline and milestones planthat is used across all majors – see Table 4. We have designated sections of our innovationcourses that the students can conveniently fit into their schedules. This current design andinnovation pedagogy has now been implemented across all engineering programs in the Schoolof Engineering & Science and is comprised of biomedical, mechanical, civil, environmental,naval, chemical, electrical, and computer engineering, as well as the
elementary level.

Introduction Negative impacts of human consumption and waste on the natural environment is a long-researched topic, which led the international scientific confidence in the human-influencedclimate change to reach its highest point (95-100% likelihood) in 2014 [1]–[6]. A significantreason for this impact is the fact that much of the waste ends in landfills, rather than recyclingfacilities. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s most recent report shows that morethan 50% of the 259-million-ton municipal solid waste (MSW) goes to landfills [7]. This waste,in turn, rots and produces the

Furthermore, giving students practice with exploring and capturing complexphenomena is becoming ever more important in a world of increasing collaboration andincreasingly complex phenomena.

Moreover, new to thisprogram year, students were taught the basics of concept exploration and were expected to applythis knowledge to their identified problem.

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.
