of the parameter(s) on which to conduct the sensitivity analysiscan be considered as an indirect measure because the most relevant information is that whichprovides the best prediction of the most critical parameter (i.e., the parameter that will have thegreatest impact on the decision criterion). The online environment also tracks the informationresources visited by the student teams and the time of visitation. Data collected from a largeengineering economy course are used to evaluate the effectiveness of these assessment methods.IntroductionMaking good engineering decisions is a critical skill for every engineering discipline. Thecomplexity of decision making is tied to multiple criteria which can often be in conflict. Largevolumes of

originalmembers of this group, and 14 of them eventually became President of the Society. Dueswere $3.50 per year and one could become a Life Member for $50 in 1910.Early members had to be proposed by two members who knew the candidate and then theproposed member had to be elected by the Council (S.P.E.E.'s governing body) by atleast three-quarters support. Members of the Council had 3 year terms with one-third ofthe Council being retired each year. By 1910 there were 121 colleges teachingengineering and 938 members of S.P.E.E. consisting of 767 teachers and 171practitioners1.The Journal of Engineering Education began in 1910 and much of the information forthis paper was obtained from this source. Since this journal was the S.P.E.E.'s means
