“find” relevant engineering economy topics. As opposed to asking students to answer pointed questions, as in the previous application, students are asked to discover the engineering economy subject matter present in a given article. This forces students to interpret the articles and examine them from a “bigger picture”, or topical, perspective. For example, in April of 2001, Midwest Express announced that it was purchasing new jets from Boeing and Embraer 2. The students found topics concerning equipment replacement, technology choice, capacity expansion, risk analysis and cash flow analysis in the article.3.

and complete a quality project build. The idea was to insure that the students hadcompleted enough of the build to gain the understanding about machining and tolerancing earlyin the semester. That way they would be able to complete the build and create a well-functioningdevice by the end of the semester. The second change that was made to the machine designproject build was the encouragement of using rapid prototyping technology. Students wereencouraged to use the engineering program’s rapid prototyping machine to explore fit andfunction before spending a lot of time machining the finished version of complicated parts. Theywere also allowed to use the rapid prototyping machine to create finished components if thestresses in their design

and highly theoretical concepts. Theseconcepts, such as fugacity, can lend themselves to be difficult for not just students but alsoinstructors to conceptualize and explain1. This is due to the fact that many STEM (science,technology, engineering, and mathematics) concepts are not overtly or obviously visual or easy tomodel via experimentation, demonstrations, or traditional hands-on tools. Therefore, visualinstruction is key for all learners, not just those who have a proclivity for more visual modes ofinstruction.

Yet, theengineering education that most get is generally lacking in any component that educatesthem in how to deal with management issues. Industry is often looking to hire engineersfor its supervisory and management ranks, primarily because the businesses they are in,such as manufacturing, utilities, and transportation, are technologically-based, and theyneed to have managers who understand enough about technology to learn and understandtheir specific businesses. While engineering graduates are the best suited for that, they donot have the education in business and management, particularly in communications andpeople skills

In fact, thesocio-technical systems idea is a compromise between a deterministic, techno-centric understanding ofhow technology shapes society and a critical re-orientation of these frameworks towards the socialconstruction of technology (Hughes, 2021). The socio-technical systems aspect of the course, asexperienced by the student, requires the participants in the course to move reflexively between the
