with the students the more standard sensitivityanalysis: change in price of goods, change in price of key raw material(s), change in price ofutilities, change in price of labor. These are the ones sometimes discussed in design textbooks.Ask students if that is all there is to a Financial Operational Model? See what the students answerhere. Get them to understand the sheer power of having the engineering design melded to theeconomics. What does that truly mean? Start to get them to see other types of sensitivities that arenot simply linear changes in slope but can have actual minimum or maximum optimal values.Examples include key design specifications to the product, parameter uncertainty in the modelsfor a piece of equipment such as extent of

examples is a way to cement students’ knowledge through memorable context.• Using case studies supports the rich complexity and interdisciplinary skills needed by future engineers.• Using campus based case studies is physically convenient for students because they can see the application without the time, expense, and coordination required to go off campus.Support for Case Studies as a Method for Teaching & Learning: Significant research has beendone showing the effectiveness of case studies as a teaching method. In 1999, the Journal ofEngineering Education published an interesting research paper entitled, Teaching Real-WorldIssues through Case Studies, by P.K. Raju and Chetan S. Shankar. In this paper, they chronicledthe benefits

The completed file must be submittedby the student at another time on the same date or any other date. The testing/instruction file(s)to be released are posted in the Dropbox and, upon completion of the item, the students submit itback to the Dropbox. I use this feature for two different types of evaluations. During thesemester, I give three one-question quizzes (20 minutes each) and three four-question exams (50minutes each). Since my class meets in a room equipped with computer workstations, thesequizzes and exams are taken during the class meeting. Upon completion, I upload all the

sources. Most students were able to identify potential moral or ethicalproblems and were also able to draw appropriate connections between personal morals, the Codeof Ethics for Engineers, and the situations described in the cases. Not surprisingly, studentsoften took strong positions surrounding the central issue(s) in the cases. The main difficultystudents had with was articulating a counter perspective when they perceived a clear ethicalproblem.The papers were evaluated using a scoring rubric in which points were awarded for addressingthe guiding questions (10 points), quality of writing (5 points), and how well they justified theirfinal position on the case (5 points). The summary from Part 1 was evaluated against the guidingquestions and
