tedious algebraiccalculations for resistive networks, usually taught in standard Electric Circuits courses fromthe combined course.Our original plan involved the development of several mandatory two-credit fundamentalscourses, covering lumped parameters, distributed parameters, and statistical parameters,followed by an array of one-credit applications courses. Applications courses would build onthe unifying themes presented in the fundamentals courses and would include introduction toemerging engineering topics. Thus, for example, we would offer one-credit fluidsapplications courses in biofluidics, computational fluid dynamics, and small-scale pumps andturbines. (The latter course would be appropriate for our new minor program in

Toward that end, I developed a tutorial, targeting undergraduate students enrolled inAdvEngEcon. The tutorial has been revised numerous times in an attempt to increase its value tostudents taking the course. A copy of the tutorial for the 2016 spring semester is provided in theAppendix.My purposes in preparing this paper are twofold: 1) encourage engineering economy educators toincorporate real-options analysis in their engineering economy courses and 2) share lessons learnedin teaching the subject of real-options analysis to
for their students (generally sophomores orjuniors). The problem with all existing textbooks at this level (not an exaggeration) is that they Page 13.981.2contain few quantitative relationships, few, if any, problems to solve, and no sense of howmathematics or engineering topics relate to physiology. Each of these deficiencies exists despitethe fact that research in physiology is highly quantitative. Publishers generally claim that themarket is too small for an entry level quantitative physiology book (D.U. Silverthorn, personalcommunication). There are some simulation packages and computer labs that attempt to addressthis shortfall

Those that fail to embrace the C&Iparadigm are evaporating.A recent survey of business executives and managers1 indicates that highly successful engineersare not only academically astute, but also possess entrepreneurial skills.

as the system design process evolves. Capital budgeting misses this opportunity. Experience indicates that a properly coordinated and functioning system and its product, that is competitive in the marketplace, cannot be achieved through efforts applied largely after it comes into being. Accordingly, it is essential that design synthesis include operational considerations during the early stages of system design and development. Legions of academicians and practicing professionals are developing and applying powerful tools for analysis, experimentation, modeling, simulation, animation, etc. to the domain of operations. These individuals represent the fields of industrial engineering, engineering management, operations research

Page 6 of 18Similarly in the sciences, the foundational need is classic. Sustainable engineering requires a sci-entific approach, one based on observation, deduction, and theory.

beginning medical students practice solving problems in simulated casesbefore working with living patients. Problem-based learning has been used in over 60 medicalschools in addition to schools of business, education, architecture, law, and engineering 7.Problem-based learning has also been used in K-12 schools. In problem-based learning, thelearners are immersed in a particular, practical context, often a student-chosen context. One goalof problem-based learning is to help students develop an intrinsic motivation to learn. Sincestudents are more motivated to learn when they see value in what they are learning, it isimportant that students or teachers choose problems that are relevant for the students 8.Theoretical FrameworkProblem-based learning

The last two quarters of their senior year, the students are already working inteams of four students on their capstone design project (which is not the Haber-Bosch process)and in their capstone unit operations laboratory courses. Instead of assigning additionalteamwork, the Haber-Bosch process analysis is continued in individual homework assignments.Students develop process simulation skills in Aspen Plus by modeling the ammonia synthesisreactor-separator-recycle-purge loop and using Aspen’s process optimization tools (sensitivityanalysis and design spec) to optimize the process.

aware of empathy definitions and implementation generally, were not aware of,or experienced with, the role of empathy within the engineering discipline [3]. Indeed, in asurvey of empathy perceptions of over 1,000 practicing engineers, respondents gave lowestmarks to the statement “I learned to be more empathetic and caring during my college years” [4].These findings are convicting. Engineering educators must not push training on the empatheticpractice of engineering to other, less technically driven disciplines. This deficit of training inengineering specific empathy is ultimately a problem in engineering formation that requires acombined effort from engineering educators and social scientists to address.

How then do we movebeyond the surface elements of design and fill a semester with innovation once the steps of theengineering design process have been enumerated?Over the past 5 years, the team of instructors teaching engineering design to first-year students atNortheastern University has developed an assortment of connected active learning exercises thatare sewn into the fabric of the semester.
