To further guide students through the design process, team-basedactivities related to workshop topic(s), readings, and case studies were assigned for individualteam discussions.Program Deliverables and Surveys: By the conclusion of the CIP, teams were expected to generate a single, succinct problemstatement based on their primary research in a clinical environment. Moreover, new to thisprogram year, students were taught the basics of concept exploration and were expected to applythis knowledge to their identified problem. Three deliverables were generated by the programparticipants: individual blog entries, a written team report, and team presentation.

The format of video instructionused is a sequential-step explanation and is a form of observational learning, which is learningthrough the behavior of others. Observational learning through video allows students to see a“flawless performance” of the task, and can be viewed repeatedly as needed [18]. Theinstructional videos on Rater Practice should be sufficient in learning how to operate thesimulation and can be viewed and practiced until the system is understood. If studentscomprehend the instructional videos, the barrier to many simulations - the instructions beingnon-intuitive - would be

The paper proposes topic areas in engineering economy and shows how these topic areaswere used in an initial study on PhD students. The research shows that not all PhD students havethe expected financial understanding even though they were pursuing PhD’s in engineering. It isbelieved that the study on undergraduate students will yield more benefit and help tackle themounting student loan debt in the US.References[1] M.

On the other hand, a clear decrease in the cases involvingadvertising can be seen over time, with 22 of the 28 cases (79%) occurring before 1980. Thisphenomenon is likely tied to several changes in the Code of Ethics in the 1970’s involvingadvertising9. The cases containing unfair competition also encountered a significant decreaseover time, 79% of which ensued prior to 1985. In contrast, cases relating to disclosing privateinformation and negligence, of which there were eight for each category, weren’t pertinent untilthe mid-80s.Based on the noted ethical dilemmas and how they are discussed in the Code
