Thus, while our teaching has evolved to includespreadsheets, so must our examination procedures.IntroductionCapital investments require analyses by engineers with tools and insight into whether theinvestment is sound. The field of engineering economy provides these tools. In order to make asound decision, a three-phase approach to evaluate the risk of a project is necessary: 1. Identify the risk, or risks, of an investment project. 2. Analyze the identified risk(s) of the project. 3. Assess how the identified risks

This problem could be one of the studentsown devising or from a textbook, class web page, or any other source. The student then wouldschedule an appointment with the instructor to do an oral presentation of the problem. Thestudent would explain step by step the procedure(s) used in the solution of the problem. Thisprovides the instructor an opportunity to examine the students’ critical thinking skills.

Students, not in the leaderrole, seem likely to shun accepting responsibilities and particularly lack a feeling ofresponsibility for failures.Leadership Differentiated. At this stage, engineering students are able to differentiate their viewand recognize leadership being non-positional, and “as-needed”. Leadership is starting to berecognized as a process. Those in positional roles engage in shared, participative leadership.Their responsibilities shift from making things happen to facilitator and community builderwithin their group(s). In so doing, students recognize that that leadership can be demonstrated byanyone in the group. Students not in positional roles

These areskills that are not taught in most engineering curriculums prior to the capstone course(s). Ourobservations are consistent with the observations by other researchers who have studied thedesign process. Wilson et. al 2 highlighted how students in the capstone course setting strugglewith setting milestones and soliciting feedback at the right times. Developing and effectivelycommunicating the project plan and status are critical to the success of the project.
