What was it they did that I really liked?” One professor hehad “knew everyone’s name in class and during a 1 ½ hour class period called on every singlestudent in that class with a question.” Reflecting on this “although at the time I did not likebeing asked questions …I realized that actually one I paid attention in his class and two it gaveme confidence by answering the question.

Including design elements whichvalue adults’ experiences as working engineers will encourage students to make connectionsbetween their roles as learners and engineers. A goal setting exercise is included at the beginningof the course to give students the opportunity to state their own goals for the course.

“Project Budgeting” has been retitled “Project Cost and Value” and revised to reflect that: 1) in the end, project sponsors care far more about how much the project cost than its original budget; and 2) the most important monetary consideration for project managers is delivering owner/sponsor-defined value. Effective project managers have thoughtful, probing discussions with project sponsors of project value. Every project has deliverables, which might, for example, include a facility, a product prototype, or functioning software. The goal, however, is to produce project outcomes; e.g., a hospital that provides regional care for children, a refrigerator that is x% more efficient, or an enterprise management system that supports
