They mustconsider whether a project will offer some net benefit to the people who will be affected by it;and they must consider the cost of consuming natural resources, both in the price that must bepaid for them and the realization that once they are used for that project, they will no longer beavailable for any other project(s).

Guillaume California State University Los AngelesIntroductionThe paradigm subscribed to by most people is that if one believes that a goal can be achieved,success is more likely. This is especially true in the pursuit of educational goals 1. A new trendin introductory texts focusing on orienting students to higher education, including those used inengineering courses, is to place a high degree of emphasis on this point. For example the widelyused text by Landis 1 is filled with phrases such as

Theauthors wanted to assure that this was true so as not to invalidate the findings in this paper. Anindependent samples t-test was performed on GPA using whether or not a student took thetraditional course as the grouping variable. As expected there was no significant differencebetween the G.P.A.’s of those students who had previously taken the traditional EngineeringEconomics course and

As a result, the department has acquired Lab-Voltelectrodynamics trainers completely equipped with industrial-type dc/ac machines andtransformers. Power electronics and variable-speed drive modules are also provided to teachstudents how to operate and troubleshoot control systems using dc and ac drives. The trainers areof the latest solid-state technology and include speed control, acceleration, low-frequency boost,as well as, different switching mode operations. Each mounted machine ha s a cutaway bellhousing that permits visual inspection of its internal construction. This feature was found to beparticularly appealing because one can

This means that the students see a consistent set of tools used across all theircourses. Although the University was ranked number 75 in the “100 most wired schools” in1999, we have found that the use of wireless technology has made fundamental changes in theway students work. Students still make use of the wired LAN when they are transferring largeamounts of data (for example, MPEG files they’ve created), but they prefer the convenience ofthe wireless LAN for most of their work. With the wireless LAN students can work anywherethey want. For example, for the house design discussed earlier, in past years the
