John Bransford chronicled this in his book, How people learn,Brain, Mind, Experience, and School.4 Real-life context, stories, and personal interactions helpframe this in engineering economy courses. Textbook author, William Sullivan, in his 2008 papersaid, “Developing examples and exercises that are interesting, engaging, and provide context is achallenging problem for courses with students enrolled from a variety of majors. Yet, we knowthat without proper context to their discipline, students will not find relevance or understand whythey should care to learn engineering

Evaluate concepts and implement in parametric CAD the top ideas in order to have better visualization and ability to make modification for improvement. 4. Fully develop the selected alternative.

Lucena describes how engineering education has consistently beeninfluenced by the defense needs of the United States since World War II [29]. Students mayactively seek military-related jobs, or more likely, will find themselves in them. A recentNational Academy of Engineering (NAE) report analyzed STEM workforce concerns of the U.S.Department of Defense (DOD), in terms of the ‘defense industrial base’ and DOD civilian andmilitary employees [30].
