State University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Enhancing Critical Life-Cycle Decision Making in Complex Engineering Projects in the Context of Engineering Economy CoursesAbstractComplex engineering projects (CEPs) such as electric transmission networks and transportationinfrastructure are becoming increasingly important to the public in general and even more so toengineers. These projects are large-scale in terms of money and time and contain significantuncertainties over their life-cycle, with fluctuations in input and output costs. Due to theseuncertainties, there are conditional opportunities (e.g., on prices) to make critical decisions
