This paper presentsmodification of the current engineering economics core coursethat is offered to junior-level civil and environmental engineeringstudents and its corresponding impact on students’ performance. I. INTRODUCTIONE NGINEERING economics represents a branch of economics applied by engineers to achieve the optimalproject design and ultimately the optimal decision makingthrough various alternative analyses. At the same time, thereare several aspects of engineering economics that depend oncutting-edge technology because it is an area that integratesfundamental economic knowledge and various industryfeatures that are continually advancing. Thus, the onus is on
