Class AbstractThis paper describes an effort to enrich the Engineering Economics course by adding readings,class discussion topics and a research paper. The goal is to help students understand the non-quantitative side of engineering economics. In particular, students are exposed to examples ofusing engineering or business techniques to benefit people in need, and to introduce notions ofrisk and the quality movement.IntroductionThe majority of Engineering Economics textbooks cover the numerical basis for estimatingcosts, evaluating and comparing projects based on cash flows and computing taxes. This reflectsthe material needed for the FE exam very directly. The focus is on quantitative analysis based

The groups work to solve the problem and the instructor oversees theprogress that the groups make. The instructor may also provide ideas to assure that the group ispursuing the project in the correct manner. There are strengths and weaknesses in every teaching method. The primary strength ofthese active learning techniques is the students participation in the class. In this fashion thestudents feel an ownership in the material and are more likely to learn and retain knowledge. A
