hegde@pitt.eduABSTRACTThis paper presents the development and teaching of a university level course for college seniors andgraduate students on Frugal Engineering and Value Analysis. We developed and offered the course toboth business and engineering students. Here, we present the need for teaching frugal engineering in anengineering curriculum. Value Methodology or Value Engineering, along with Quality Engineering, arekey components of frugal engineering. “Wicked” problems and their challenges are also presented inthis course, along with wicked problem-solving strategies. While the concepts behind Value Engineeringwere developed in the 1940s and frequently applied in industrial, manufacturing, construction, anddefense projects, they are rarely

and epistemic curiosity, engineering identity, and self-efficacy will be used to gauge student progress [2]. As a result, the Industrial Engineering (IE)department adopted the ECP idea with a focus on implementing home-based hands-on activitiesfor two courses. Learning a specific idea can start at any point, but the ECP concept starts withthe presentation of an experiment to teach the students a theory. This greatly improves thestudent's ability to retain the taught theoretical topic. The ECP concept is based on the MobileStudio project designed by the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to boost students' interest andsuccess in electrical engineering [3]. Since then, many colleges, including 13 HBCUs in the USA[4], have adopted it as a

ConclusionThis work is not intended to explain why students transfer between degree programs in the waysthat they do. Rather, this enhances the understanding of where students are coming from andgoing to when the transfers occur. Without this knowledge, it can be difficult to appropriatelysupport students who find themselves in a degree program they do not enjoy, for one reason oranother. By knowing what common transfer paths are, educators can guide their students to makeinformed decisions in their educational journeys. This
