on engineering projects.Under these circumstances, for such projects, it is essential that engineering students have: A. active decision making capabilities exploiting the aforementioned strategic flexibility as the uncertainties such as electric power prices or fossil fuel costs unfold over time. B. a useful framework for critical decision making that adds managerial insights and facilitates development of intuition behind decision making under uncertainties. For example, why does volatility increase the value of flexibility (when the flexibility is viewed as an option, its holders do not lose from increased uncertainties if things turn out wrong, but gain if they turn out right because the real

students, in teams, were asked to answer questions about how to handle renovation expenses. The students had to write a report and do a presentation while abroad. b. Videologs: The students were tasked with recording 1 to 2 minute long educational videos of various locations we visited. The objective of this project was to encourage students to research the places we were going to in advance. They had to prepare and memorize a script prior to departure, and film at the location using a GoPro camera. The students were told to briefly comment on something interesting, engineering-wise and/or engineering-economics-wise. After the students
