Session _____ THE SAVE-SPEND PROBLEM Mohammad H. Alimi, and Howard B. Wilson North Dakota State University / University of AlabamaIntroductionApplied mathematics courses usually include topics from physics and engineering but seldomconsider financial concepts. This omission is easy to remedy because the essential ideas ofinvestment growth resulting from compounded investment earnings can be explained with asimple first-order differential equation. The current article analyzes what can be appropriatelycalled the save-spend problem where funds earning interest are saved over

volume of material available for teaching enhancement,very little is available in the area of student assessment, especially automated studentevaluations. Due to the nature of the subject content, engineering and its related fields arearguably the most difficult disciplines within which to utilize automated evaluation. Untilrecently, just a few small-scale evaluation tools were available, primarily from those individualswho developed them for their own courses. Currently however, several automated evaluationtools are available that are adaptable to various engineering applications. The most familiar ofthese are Blackboard and Web-CT, both of which are Internet-based evaluation, curriculum andcourse management tools.A more recent automated

collection of data. A questionnaire wasconstructed using the thirteen factors used by Lowe et al. (1995) to gather students’ responses onthe importance of those factors in the selection of their academic majors. The students wereasked to rank each factor for its importance in the selection of their academic major by using ascale of 1 to 5 where 1 = the factor was not at all important while 5 = the factor was extremelyimportant to them. Two hundred and ninety-two usable responses were obtained from thesurvey. Out of those who responded, one hundred and eighty-four students were Businessmajors, while one hundred and eight students were Engineering Technology majors. The datawere then processed using the two sample t-tests of significance.Analysis of

Besides the obvious objective of educating children from the developing world, developing these technologies could support local entrepreneurship and innovation where a village entrepreneur may arrange information sessions on general matters of interest like health, agriculture, and business. For the continuous development of educational contents relating to local context and language, the content- providers can be rewarded with remunerations by the program owners.
