analysis. Themodel has been modified to develop a Cost "S" Curve from the traditional point estimate valuebased upon the triangular distribution and using three parameters, H/L ratio, the percentile valuefor the point estimate and the percentile value for the most likely cost. This approach eliminatesthe need for the traditional triangular distribution parameters of the high with a specifiedpercentile, the low with a specified percentile, and the mode. It is difficult to get estimates of thehigh and low values associated with percentiles, whereas the H/L ratio is easier to obtain forestimates. The results from the model include the lowest cost, the most likely cost, the mediancost, the mean cost, and the highest cost estimate as well as the cost

. Regarding the development of a mobile app for an Engineering Economics course, ourdesigned app has implemented many modules to help students reinforce the key concepts andimprove their problem-solving skills. The pilot study results provide many valuable inputs thatallow continuous improvement of the app. The authors are currently working on a new app witha more engaging game interface. The purpose of the new app is to attract students to maintaintheir interest and to increase their time of using the app to improve their academic performance.After the new app is fully tested and assessed, it will be made available freely through Apple Appstore and Google Play.Reference 1.

this is achieved is the team-based capstone experience, which starts in the fallsemester of junior year and ends in the spring semester of senior year. Our pedagogical approachin the capstone experience is for students to take ownership of their projects and their learning.The design instructors and faculty advisor(s) support and facilitate mastery learning throughdirected and non-directed, group-based and independent, simple and complex, structured andunstructured, project tasks that incrementally expose and reiterate the design process. In thispaper, we not only describe the conceptualization and implementation of this two-year capstoneexperience, but also present outcomes assessment data of student learning during this
