Instead offollowing faculty member’s instruction to passively complete the model design, students have anopportunity to apply the skills they learned in class to solve the real-world problem, and to thinkas an engineer.

However, adding a real client with real needswhere the students’ work can have real impact adds immediacy and interest. To those ends, acommunity service learning team proposal project was created in 2011 for 60 students of a firstterm, first-year engineering writing course, which is a part of a common first-year engineeringcurriculum.

At the core of theproject is a student-developed Capital Budgeting simulation model. This model is used both as atool for examining the effectiveness of existing capital project ranking methods such as IRR,NPV, and Payback, and also as a research platform for testing new ranking and selectionmethods. The project consists of three phases. The first phase is comprised of individual workwhere students design and program a basic Capital Budgeting simulation model using MicrosoftExcel and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
