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

: Implementing a Systems Engineering Framework For Multidisciplinary Capstone DesignSynopsisIn this paper we discuss a pilot project at Stevens Institute of Technology to develop a systemsengineering (SE) framework for multidisciplinary capstone design which can be a model forbroad implementation. It is part of an initiative involving 14 institutions (including all themilitary academies), sponsored by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research andEngineering (ASD(R&E)) STEM Development Office to incorporate SE in undergraduatecapstone design. The initiative is a clear demonstration of the significance placed by DoD on theneed to have graduating engineers educated in the overarching significance of systemsengineering for the

Preparing Our Graduates to be More Effective Leaders In a World of Systems-Oriented RiskAbstractToday’s systems are becoming increasingly more complex and more interdependent - thereforethe need for engineers who can effectively innovate, design and manage such systems isbecoming more critical. In order to develop the skill set necessary to succeed in a leadershipposition in a competitive and risky workplace, an engineer must be able to deal with systemssituations. Systems engineering and systems thinking provide a framework for anticipating orenvisioning possible future changes (both within the system boundaries and within theinteractive system’s environment) and for effectively responding to internal and external risksand

You will accomplish this goal by:1. Demonstrating and effectively applying the following during the appropriate phase of analysis a. formulate a problem and develop a clear statement of needs • goals, objective trees, indices of performance • functional requirements and design specifications based upon system trades b. identify solutions to a problem • creativity and innovation, brainstorming, researching existing/near solutions to the same/similar problems
