a series of sequential investments based onthe success of previous investments. Many projects involve multiple stages, and multi-stageeconomic analysis is often necessary. An example of a multi-stage project is pharmaceutical drugdevelopment, where new drug products must pass a series of clinical trials, and where successiveclinical trials are performed (or not) depending on the success of the previous clinical tests. Thatis, Phase II tests are only performed if Phase I tests are successful, and Phase III testing isconducted only if Phase II is successful. Staged funding also occurs in many other largeprojects, where new ideas pass from concept development to product design and development toengineering, creation of manufacturing capacity

student survey, all of theproblems were rated highly (< 2.5) on a 3-point scale that indicated whether the problems wereineffective (1 pt), needed some improvement (2 pts), or were effective “as is” (3 pts). Due to thispositive feedback, we will be assigning this project again in future classes, perhaps with a fewadditional unit operations (e.g. a distillation step or refrigeration cycle).I. Introduction Project-based learning (PBL) is an intriguing approach to engineering education in whichstudents are assigned projects that require them to apply the concepts learned in class towardssolving relevant real world problems. PBL has been shown to have many significant benefitscompared to traditional sets of isolated or unrelated homework

The centerpieceof the learning module is a writing assignment in which students analyze a historical case inwhich financial considerations appear to have played a role in the violation of ethical codes ornorms. In this paper, we outline specific ethics concepts that were brought up during classroomdiscussions regarding this writing assignment and provide a qualitative assessment of how wellstudents applied ethical considerations in their analyses of the various case studies. The modulealso includes a survey intended to explore the attitudes of students related to professional ethics,their perception of ethics education in their curriculum, and how they
