Improving Conceptual Learning in Engineering Economy using Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs).
In: Industrial Engineering Research Conference, June 6-9, 2010, Cancun. Mexico.
Abstract
This paper reports on an experiment conducted in an engineering economy course. Two sections of the course were taught by the same instructor, one incorporated three E-MEAs (Ethical Model-Eliciting Activities) to reinforce course concepts while the other was taught in the instructor's traditional manner. A concept inventory was given to students in both sections at the start and end of the semester. Results will be reported with a focus on determining whether the E-MEAs did in fact lead to improved student learning of specific economic analysis concepts and con-sideration of all relevant criteria (including ethical issues) in an economic analysis.
