Princeton University offers anundergraduate degree through its Operations Research and Financial Engineering department,while Columbia University offers an undergraduate degree in Operations Research: FinancialEngineering.With the growth of these new courses and curriculums in financial engineering, it is believed thatthere has been a decline in the offerings of engineering economy. As noted by Fraser1 nearly allIndustrial Engineering programs required a course in engineering economics. However,offerings outside the departments are not always required. For example, only industrial and civilengineers typically must take engineering economy. At Georgia Tech, non-IE majors take a 2-hour online version with microeconomics. Despite being a section on

Motivate students to stay engaged in the mechanical engineering curriculum. 2. Give students knowledge of advanced computing techniques. 3. Give students an experience of product realization in their first year of engineering. 4. Give students a simple but practical example of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.The last three objectives were part of the learning objectives for the course, and are not theprimary topic of this paper.

Project-basedlearning approaches that emphasize student learning rather than instructor teaching may be a keyto successful development of “global engineers.” Evaluations of project-based courses showincreases in student motivation, problem-solving ability, communication and teaming skills,knowledge retention, and capacity for self-directed learning. Despite these reported benefits,curriculum-wide implementations of project-based learning are rare, probably partly due to thetraditional emphasis on technical content acquisition in upper-level courses and a lack of clearmethods

Thismethod is in essence a guided design process which mixes student-centered learning with a structured course syllabus.
