forimprovement was creation of a collaborative and inclusive environment. Overall, most scoresincreased between semesters. This may be a function of more time spent together as a team,learning each other’s nuances, and figuring out how to best work toward a common goal. Withthat stated, the teamwork survey was completed after the March 2020 pandemic stay-at-homeorders were issued and courses went online. There is a chance that greater empathy was realizedduring those trying times, especially considering that the competitions were canceled for 2020.The 2020-2021 teams responded (Table 7) with higher agreement with “my team fosters acollaborative environment” and “my team fosters an inclusive environment” than the 2019-2020teams.

A comparative study between multiple sections in particularbetween traditional and online delivery was reported in Wilck and Kauffmann (2013) 21.This course is scheduled for engineering sophomores (and selected freshmen) instead of seniorsas documented in some literature2. We believe it is advantageous to start learning and sharpeningteamwork and leadership skills as earlier as possible and engineering economics serves as a greatplatform. Such a belief, has been noted a century ago by a renowned engineer John Harford 21 thatengineering and economics “help to develop the very valuable habit of thinking in terms of groupsrather than of individuals”, where the

Academy of Engineering(NAE) has identified that the engineers of 2020 need to have strong analytical and problemsolving skills while being readily adaptable to advancing technologies in a globally connectedworld (1). A classroom syllabus typically contains conventional lectures and a group project. Itmay also contain a business example provided by a guest lecture or case study. These currentteaching methods have displayed positive results, but barriers between academia and industrycan be made seamless by incorporating both advances in technology and motivational techniques(2) . Students will find the transition to be more cohesive after they have completed a curriculumthat facilitates superior student understanding.Initial Assessment: Learning

Learning outcomes are defined by ABET as [1]: Student outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation.

A typical grading scheme mighthave Homeworks at 20%, Quizzes at 10%, Midterms at 30%, and the Final Exam at 40%. InGermany this does not exist, since it’s entirely the final exam which determines the grade.Sometimes the German professors let the students do homework or have tests to make thestudents reflect on the content and work on problems, but these assignments don’t influence thefinal
