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

ofplanning performed during the previous steps will impact the implementation. The first six stepsare where most of your time should be spent. This will ensure that the implemented activity hasthe greatest impact.h. Assessing the outcomeAfter the activity has been tested, think critically about what pieces were successful and whichpieces failed. Did students all struggle with one segment of the project? Could better materialshave been provided? Did you have way too much or way too little of any supplies? How did it fitwithin the time frame? How did the wrap-up discussion go? Did the students meet yourexpectations? Ask other staff and even the participants for their perspectives and feedback on theactivity. Facilitators can design a formal assessment

ownership of their own learning. 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

this paper (May 2021) when it will return to in-person instruction. However, it seems likely that in the spring of 2022, the course will be givenin person. The production of forty hours of video materials for the class was an enormousinvestment of time and effort. This class was only one of a number across the country that had todevelop these materials. The challenge is to decide how they to be used going forward. Thispaper recommends that this material and others at other schools be reviewed for best practicesand value. These materials would then ideally be available from the ASEE EngineeringEconomics division on a non-commercial basis. Individual instructors would be able to sharethese materials and tailor them to their specific program
