This textbook became a best seller in its field and itdefined what material was important for considering the economic impact of engineeringprojects.Also in 1930 the Division of Mechanics was approved based on the high level of activityof the Mechanics Committee. Now, there were 4 Divisions in S.P.E.E. (EngineeringDrawing, Mechanics, Physics and Institutional).In 1931, at the Annual Meeting, it was proposed that the name of the Society for thePromotion of Engineering Education (S.P.E.E.); be changed to the Engineering EducationSociety (E.E.S.). No change occurred11 due to lack of support at the Council meeting.At the Annual Meeting during June, 1932 at Oregon State College there were now 5Divisions in the Society with the addition of the

However, roadmaps forstrategic development need to be built on more than hype and promises. This paperdescribes a simple tool to measure the maturity of new technologies in many economic aswell as technical domains. It ascribes one of ten stages of maturity to fourteen differentparameters. A review of non-volatile memory technologies is used as a benchmark. Thetool has been used to demonstrate technology evolution within academic courses and ithas also been applied within short industry courses.Project rationale and scopeThe appeal of nanotechnology lies in the sheer breadth and potential impact

at the necessary depth as well as the required breadth. The subject matterstudied was engineering mechanics: statics. It was essential that the students acquired a verystrong foundation of the fundamental principles. Statics is used as a very important foundationcourse for a variety of subsequent topics such as strength of materials, dynamics, fluidmechanics, machine elements, machine design, manufacturing processes, etc. It is observedthat this category recorded the maximum possible score of 5 on the Likert scale. Thisindicates that the instructor did cover the material. The author is extremely pleased with thisresult. It must be reiterated that no new instructional technique should be introduced whilesacrificing needed course

engineeringcurriculums. The material taught through this class is also covered on the Fundamentals ofEngineering (FE) exam, which is the first step to be a Professional Engineer (PE). This courseteaches skills required to analyze profits, costs, and the time value of money through manydifferent methods and devices. The challenge for educators is that engineering economic analysisis primarily concerned with problem solving methods that seem to be non-intuitive for manystudents. There have been proposal for alternative teaching methods including Internetintegration with other courses1, and a mechanics analysis of the cash flows2. Another challenge isthat students have a misconception that Engineering Economics is not related to the field ofengineering. However

The class consisted of students from all ofthese departments.

Unfortunately, acomprehensive study of engineering management programs across the US, conducted by Gandhiand Pinto [7], revealed that less than 1/3 of all programs offered risk management courses. Toaddress this gap in current educational curriculum, the authors discuss existing approaches toinclude systemic risk management material in engineering management programs.Systemic risk and its importance to engineering managers According to Kaufman and Scott [8], systemic risk is thought of as a risk that originatesfrom multiple sources, affects multiple agents and propagates quickly among individual parts orcomponents of the

Instructors assign andgrade homework to help students learn the material for better overall exam performance. This isthe conventional belief in most of the academic community. It is only logical to think thatpractice improves performance in academic studies as it does in many other endeavors.In 2002, Peters et al.1 studied the correlation between homework and exam performance in anOperations Management course. The study was designed with two treatments: one treatment wasassigned homework and it was collected while the other treatment was assigned the samehomework but it was not collected. This study

often have difficulty with core concepts in their coursework. Withoutovercoming these difficulties to master the conceptual material, advancing in the course andlearning new material may be hampered. Economic concepts receive less focus in engineeringcurriculums and tend to be correspondingly less familiar to engineering students. While themathematics required is not particularly complex, the concepts of the time value of money,discounting cash flows, evaluating the worth of mutually exclusive alternatives, etc. do requiretime to absorb. This is exacerbated by the fact that such problems are often presented in textualformat (the dreaded “word problem” format) where a slight change in the wording candramatically alter the intended interpretation

Since assessment of student development in three of the above four categoriesis not an easy task, the majority of schools[6] that offer OR courses have their main focus on theimplementation of the third item (developing operational skills).Based on that, students learn how to perform the simplex method, its iterations, write the dualproblem, and perform sensitivity analysis with or without the use of software. An instructorspends many hours trying to teach the procedural steps which are tedious, repetitive, and requirecareful attention to the details, but it is easy to learn.The concepts, on the other hand, require a higher learning mechanism and instructorstraditionally find insufficient time for such
