Smith, Michael Mahler, Jon Szafranski, Dawn Werner University of MinnesotaProblem-based learning (PBL) is undergoing a renaissance in professional education, includingengineering education (Wilkerson & Gijselaers, 1996; ASEE PRISM, 1996). PBL is not a newidea; it had its beginnings in 1969 in the MD program at McMaster University in Hamilton,Ontario, Canada. McMaster graduated it’s first PBL class in 1972.

That departmentis the Department of Systems Engineering (DSE). Assessment of the capstone course by thosewho have participated in the course is essential to ensure that the course is producing engineeringgraduates that meet the demands of a rapidly changing technological and work environment.The assessment discussed in this paper was achieved by surveying 2004 graduating seniors.Seniors provided positive feedback on the course’s effectiveness and also offered suggestions forupdating its’ organization and structure.The paper begins with background information of USMA’s

Managers are not willing to make decisions based on techniques they do not fully understand. 2. Discounted cash flow is a proven method. The heavily favored methods in the literature are discounted cash flow techniques (NPV and IRR). 3. Real options require a high degree of sophistication. Real options tend to be used in industries where upper management tends to have engineering or technology backgrounds. 4. Real options tend to encourage excessive risk-taking.
