Session: 1139 The Role of Engineering Economics in the Chemical Engineering Curriculum Michael L. Mavrovouniotis Chemical Engineering Department , Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208AbstractEngineering economics is an integral part of the senior design course in all Chemical Engineeringcurricula. The main topics normally covered include cost estimation (focused on chemical processequipment), the time value of money, and profitability measures. This paper offers a commentary on theimportance and future role of engineering economics. Many topics of engineering economics display

Engineering educators should understand that IP hasnot been incorporated into the discipline. Educators should also note that by the lack of IPinstruction, engineering graduates are ignorant as to the protection of their creations. Thisimpacts their futures as they will be entering the creative field of engineering without IPknowledge and may not protect their rights. Of course, this does not help the student or theprogression of engineering.
