By promoting a more engaging and holistic learning approach,students can have the opportunity to become better problem solvers.Accordingly, ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) has published strictcourse outcome requirements for accredited programs. It is the intent of this paper to highlightvarious methods of teaching engineering economics to students in ways that maximize learning,as well as emphasize its importance for the modern engineer.

This paper offers anew and thought-provoking paradigm for engineering homework by establishing the feasibilityof routinely assigning problems with the same structure but unique numbers for each student. Itexamines the current status of homework, reports on a survey of students’ needs, examines basicissues that affect widespread implementation, and considers meaningful enhancements for pro-fessors, such as automated
