Accordingly, Arrow L depicts the passing ofevaluated candidate designs to the customer as well as stakeholders for review and decision.Alternatives that are found to be unacceptable in performance terms can be either discarded orreworked with new alternatives sought. Alternatives that meet all, or the most important, functionalcriteria can then be evaluated based on estimations and predictions. This should be accompaniedby risk assessment, another capability of Engineering Economy.Engineering practice requires systems thinking more than ever before.

The first is most obvious: the exclusion of those students who, over time, aredeemed not to have what it takes to be an engineer. These students either prove themselveswithout the necessary aptitude or discipline (e.g., poor performance in calculus, physics,chemistry, etc.) or they opt out of engineering willfully when it turns out not to be what theyexpected. The second manifestation of the logic of exclusion is less obvious, involving the waysin which various facets of a student’s identity are

Rather, Roe[13] argues that thestories that underpin, inform, and drive our efforts to solve complex, uncertain, and polarizedproblems are “a force in themselves and must be considered explicitly in assessing policyoptions” (p. 2).
