The result of this studywas a list of recommended topics that should be included in an engineering economics course,including some areas where new resources would need to be developed.

The financial model was completed for the students to first run baseline designconditions and analyze the Capital and Operational Expenditures, CAPEX and OPEX (see Fig. 2for CAPEX) to help determine which unit operations should be chosen for sensitivity analysis ofkey engineering design parameters. One key parameter was the weight fraction of water in thefeed. Students then did a sensitivity analysis for weight fraction of water in the feed generatingthe graphs in Fig. 3. A desired Internal Rate of Return of 20% was given and from the sensitivityanalysis students determined that the water content must be less than 67% in the pulp feed stream
