• W4214866442 abstract "Abstract Instructional Environment: The course is offered by an Industrial Engineering department at a large public university. It is required for all Industrial (IE) as well as Civil Engineering (CE) students and is generally taken in the sophomore year though not always. It is also taken as an elective by the other engineering disciplines in the school in either the sophomore, junior, or senior year. Each section typically has 70-80 students enrolled. 3 sections are offered per academic year. Delivery Method: The course is delivered in a computer classroom and meets for two 1 hour and 15 minute sessions per week (a traditional 3 credit course). During COVID restrictions, the course delivery was forced to change to remote delivery then a hybrid approach. Approach to Instruction and Technology: The instructor uses a mix of short lectures, in class group problem solving, as well as Tophat (“clicker”) quizzes and participation questions. Students are taught 3 methods for solving basic time value of money problems – hand/formula calculations, hand/table calculations, and using the Excel functions. More advanced problem solving is done on Excel. Topics Covered: Making Economic Decisions; Cost Estimating and Basics of Accounting; The Time Value of Money; Evaluating & Comparing Projects using Equivalent Worth and Using Rate of Return; Benefit Cost Ratio Method & Analysis of Public Projects; Dealing with Uncertainty (Breakeven, Sensitivity Analysis); Depreciation & Income Taxes; and Replacement Analysis. Assessment: 2 exams with formulas and tables provided; quizzes via Tophat with formulas provided as needed; homework and in class problems. Homework assignments have been a mix of paper and pencil as well as algorithmic problems provided by the book publisher and done on line. The instructor is currently experimenting with open book and notes exams. Rationale for the approach: The course has always been taught to provide students with practical applications (as opposed to a theoretical background) of concepts so that they can answer business driven questions regarding their engineering projects. That is, which alternative is the least costly? Which alternative is the most profitable? Does the investment have a high ROI? And so forth. Since IEs generally do not take the FE exam, FE style questions are not emphasized although the types of problems students might encounter on the exam are briefly discussed for the benefit of the CE students. Lessons Learned: It’s more effective to teach the basic concepts well and with a degree of depth rather than surface cover too many concepts in this course. In the “real world” students will use spreadsheets for the bulk of the economic analysis they’ll do. So while a fundamental understanding of the mathematics behind an economic analysis is critical, teaching spreadsheets is necessary and the computer classroom aids in this. However, the use of lectures, computers in the classroom, active learning, Tophat, algorithmic problems solving with the textbook (which is driven by Canvas), the occasional video lesson, Blackboard, and more…is too much! A more streamlined repetitive approach to each topic should be adopted." @default.
