Three tools are important for this understanding; product lifecycle curves, S Curves and Learning Curves. These tools are well documented in the literatureand can also be taught in terms of case studies.PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS The last topic for inclusion in an effective course in engineering economics isprofitability analysis.

Early courses consisted of fine and applied arts, simplewoodwork, bent iron, and mechanical drawing. The mechanical drawing course included“projection of shadows, instrumental perspective and plane geometry.”Early inclusion of CAD/CAM concepts were taught via Tektronix CRTs, digitizing tablets,joysticks, binary tape preparation devices, customized 2-D software, very early versions of NCsoftware, all with output provided by a B-size plotter.

A historical example is taken from Petroski. The students are asked to placethemselves in the 1890’s (when our engineering building was new) and then consider theproblem of how best to keep their loose notes together. From this point, the evolution of thepaper clip is discussed, with the students designing and presenting alternate solutions andimprovements. The discussions and presentations are used to reinforce the concepts ofteamwork and communications.Summary and ConclusionsThe “New Program” is now two years old and several observations have

University of Southampton [3] it was concluded thatcomputer based learning and teaching can be used successfully to teach engineeringstudents knowledge and understanding of subjects and to improve their skill in using thatunderstanding. As an example, it could be said that a student has a basic knowledge ofcorrosion measuring techniques and understands their underlying electrochemicalprinciples but has not developed the skills to specify the most suitable technique(s) for aparticular industrial application. Four elements of Bloom’s Taxonomy (application,analysis, synthesis and evaluation) are particularly relevant in this context.The Southampton study included an application concerning phase diagrams and oneconcerning engineering design.

The main objective of this exercise is to develop communication skillsneeded for conveying design ideas.In the second project, a reverse engineering analysis is performed using the device used for thecreativity project. Here, teams of students open up the device with the purpose of re-communicating the actual design of the internals and their critique of its advantages anddisadvantages.

Symington has an initiative currently underway that would eliminate bothpersonal income taxes and property taxes which provides one-third of the income for the stateand is the primary source for income to schools. The income tax cut would be equivalent to$100 million reduction in revenue generated from income tax alone5. At present, schools inArizona are already feeling the strain from previous budget cuts causing salary freezes,elimination of school bus transportation for special events and inadequate technology forschools. The proposed additional tax cuts will only further reduce the quality of education.History may repeat itself.

The subscripts 1 and 2 refer to quantities atpoints 1 and 2, respectively. Here, A refers to the cross sectional areas at the indicated locations. The differential equation governing the height of the free surface above the level of the exit is then obtained by combining equations (1) and (2); it is found to be.’Wg+It is conventional to use the quasi-steady model to simplify these equations and obtainapproximate results.
