able to understand. A survey by Lavelle, et al.1 displayed that fewerthan half of participants used effective educational practices (i.e. collaborative grouping) whenteaching engineering economics. By promoting a more engaging and holistic learning approach,students can have the opportunity to become better problem solvers.Accordingly, ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) has published strictcourse outcome requirements for accredited programs. It is the intent of this paper to highlightvarious methods of teaching engineering economics to students in ways that maximize learning,as well as emphasize its importance for the modern engineer. Through the vigilantimplementation of various teaching styles, experiential learning

career, which may be an understatement.From the survey results for the readings, the largest responses from the students were on the TataNano and India Inventors. Both of these had strong connections to engineering. The strongpositive rating for the India Inventors appears to be due to the positive impact on people in India.For the in class topics, most students chose the more technical topics on the Cost of Mars andCongolese Wireless Network (which is also a very dramatic story). As a general rule, the favoritetopics seem to be ones that involve the positive impact of technology on human need, that bringtogether the students’ expertise and career goals with their desire to help people and make adifference.Students selected most of the possible

anddeployed to Android devices. A growing trend in recent cross-platform app development is to useHTML5 and JavaScript, which are utilized in this version of app development to obtain auniform interface across different mobile platforms. The major benefit is ‘develop once, deployeverywhere’, which means the same code can be deployed to different platforms with littleefforts. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 introduces the history and technologybackground. Section 3 explains our published mobile app, “Engineering Economics Career”.Section 4 concludes the paper and suggests future work. 2.
