survey results (n = 116 all students answered every question)This anonymous survey is designed to assess your opinion of your learning in the Engineering Economy coursethat you took, and the use of personal finance examples, assignments and content. Personal finance refers to thefinancial decisions that students face as persons, versus as working engineers. As an example, below are twoequivalent questions both of which teach/test finding the future worth of a present investment:Personal Finance Orientation: An engineer inherits $10,000 on graduation day, and invests it in an account thatearns 2% per year. How much will they have in this account to help with a down payment on a house in 6 years?Engineer/firm Orientation: ABC Inc. invests $10,000

ABET defines Program Educational Objectives as “broad statements that describe whatgraduates are expected to attain within a few years of graduation; program educational objectivesare based on the needs of the program’s constituents.” The program constituents are interestedparties, person or groups having an interest in the performance or success of the program.Strictly using this definition, constituents of an engineering education program, may includealumni, employers, local industry, faculty and students. However, faculty and students areinternal to the program and may have limited perspective of what graduates are expected toattain a few years after graduation, with the exception of faculty in a program with a highpercentage of its
