. Page 25.800.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Integrating Innovative Pedagogies into Engineering Economics CoursesAbstractIn this paper, we make a case for incorporating high-impact practices into the engineeringeconomics classroom as a way to increase student engagement, learning and performance.Wherever possible, we tie proposals to our own experiences. In some cases, the practices werefer to are extant in the education literature, but not ones that we have tried as yet; however, weplan to examine them in upcoming semesters and, possibly, incorporate them into our ownclassrooms. We also indicate how several of these practices help meet the requirements ofagencies that accredit engineering

presented the results of a survey of engineering study abroad programs thatgave light to some best practices and assessment methods of undergraduate internationalexperiences. Lohmann et al.9 described a quasi-experimental research effort to measure theeffectiveness of study abroad programs using an instrument developed by the InterculturalCommunications Institute10. The Handbook of Intercultural Competence11 acknowledges,however, that developing reliable instruments for this complex construct is challenging due tothe influence of so many external factors and recognizes the efforts of few institutions, includingLohmann et al.9, in measuring impact. Further, Deardoff11 is an advocate of triangulation inwhich assessment instruments are complemented by

of EC200 and today’s self study report is much the same as originally conceived. Improvements in technology and what we know about how data is collected, used and reported by programs offers improvements for both faculty and evaluators. As data is collected, ABET has an opportunity to develop means for sharing both descriptive and evaluative data to the broader engineering higher education community. If accessible this data can provide important benchmarking and best practices guideposts, and improve the learning environments of tomorrow’s engineering graduates.  A Pilot Case with Industrial Engineering and Engineering Economy Data To illustrate the proposed mode and potential impact on the SSR, self study reports

solving abusiness problem, instead of just blindly doing analysis with no application for the client.[3]Once an analysis is complete, the information must be presented either in writing or in person toa client. Therefore, it is important for analysts to have the ability to communicate the results ofan analysis in a way that can influence decisions. However, this is the portion of training thatsome analysts, like LaBarr[3] and Starbuck [10], think needs additional attention and training foryoung statisticians. Nonetheless, the best communication in the world will not help if thesenovices do not understand the basic theories and methodology behind the analysis; therefore allskills should be developed and practiced simultaneously throughout the

The discovery approach used by the author tries to buildon these principles to establish an innovative instructional design by marrying content withpresentation style in theory as well as in practice. Utilizing real-world problems as a stimulus forstudent learning is not at all new and has been in practice for a very long time. Educators haveunderstood that scholars have defined problem-based learning as minds-on, hands-on, focused,experiential learning. Instructors have also been encouraged to act as cognitive coaches who cannurture an environment that can support open inquiry. The author was inspired by the uniqueideas presented by these scholars and researchers. He has tried to build on such intelligent ideasto

withmanufacturing practices, it is important to utilize a variety of specialized tools to implementproduct designs. However, the ability of institutions to meet these goals in fiscally austere timesis proving to be difficult for all but those with the financial resources to acquire costly industrialgrade equipment.In order for manufacturing and vocational programs to survive, they must adapt and becomecost conscious. And, when cost-saving measures are necessary, it is important to ensure that theprogram will still satisfactorily prepare students to enter the job-market as qualified workers.While it may not be necessary for graduates in some program areas like engineering todemonstrate proficiency in the use of specialized manufacturing equipment, it is
