Engineering Disciplines Brian Aufderheide1, Otsebele E. Nare1 1 Hampton University, USAAbstractThis is a Work in Progress. Students are taught how to model, write, and solve engineeringequations as part of their typical curriculum. But what is not covered is how to meld theengineering design world with the economic domain needed to be successful in industry. Oneauthor has supervised over 35 industrial design projects, and through his experience found thatwhat industry values most is a detailed Financial Operational Model with clear design andeconomic parameters evaluated through sensitivity analysis.

, creativity is seen as the ability to generate new ideas, either as new ways oflooking at existing problems or of seeing new opportunities, perhaps by exploiting emergingtechnologies or changes in markets [1-4]; as shown in Figure 1, creativity has two phases. Incontrast, innovation is seen as the successful exploitation of new ideas—i.e., it is the process thatcarries new ideas through to new products, new services, new ways of running the business, oreven new ways of doing business [5-7]. By the time we reach our university studies, most of ushave been trained to move quickly from divergent thinking to convergent thinking, so we can findthe best answer or best plan to whatever problem we face.

This paper examines a path where management material is incorporated into thecore curriculum of an Industrial Engineering program and offered to other engineers as aprofessional elective to meet their degree requirements. For most students, the course is theirfirst exposure to the theoretical underpinnings of management and organizations. Since thesematerials are quite different than those of traditional engineering courses, students often either:1) View the material as ‘fluff’ that is not important to their ability to be an effective engineerand / or 2) Have a great deal of difficulty
