During working hours an operator must be available to answer the phone and schedule the technicians if a service is required. Mr. T, the director of the IT line, oversees the operation. It is now the beginning of the fall semester, and Mr. T is confronted with the problem of assigning different working hours to his operators. Because all the operators are currently enrolled in classes, they are available to work only limited number of hours each day, as shown in the following table. Page 25.159.12

This year, a course is being developed for EngineeringEconomy – the first engineering course to be developed under the program.Engineering Economy is taught in three departments in the College of Engineering, includingCivil Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Industrial Engineering, at the University ofFlorida. The course taught in Industrial and Systems Engineering generally has the highestenrollments, with roughly 400 students from Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical, Computer,Computer Science and Materials Science enrolling annually (170 in each fall and spring semesterand 60 in the summer).The course was chosen for development because (a) it impacts a large number of engineeringstudents; (b) development could

funding small teams oftechnicians to accomplish a well-defined, finite task.4) Learning to work in small teams (3-4 students) to capture data and to perform analyses.Taking the project on in four steps worked well. It provided the time to grade the submissions,to return them to the students, to discuss the solutions in class, and to increase the concept ofanalyzing a project in terms of its economic payback over the life of the project. This last pointis crucial for the future analyses the students will be required to do in supporting their analysesof life-cycle cost analysis (particularly in the area of “green” buildings) during the next threeyears of their education. The performance of the class was heartening with class averages of B,A-, B and

The “science” is comprised of theanalyses applied in the process, such as discounted cash flow analysis, sensitivity analysis, orbreakeven analysis. The “art” involves defining the problem, identifying relevant parameters,synthesizing information, trading off multi-attributes, and considering non-economic influences.While traditional quizzes can test whether students understand the science, testing the art is moredifficult. We utilize a single question, open-ended final exam for this purpose. Students aregiven a problem scenario, data, and
