Society for Engineering Education, 2006 An Alternative Paradigm for Engineering Homework: The Case of Engineering EconomicsAbstractHomework is an absolutely crucial component of engineering education, but there has been littleprogress in this vital area other than improvements in computational aids. 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

In some cases, the practices werefer to are extant in the education literature, but not ones that we have tried as yet; however, weplan to examine them in upcoming semesters and, possibly, incorporate them into our ownclassrooms. We also indicate how several of these practices help meet the requirements ofagencies that accredit engineering
