Engineering Economics

Objective
The objective of the semester project is for you (and a partner/s (no more than 3 per group)) to conduct a real-life engineering economic analysis.
What are the projects?
Well, that is for you to decide. Your project should be related to your major coursework (at least tangentially) and should be a ‘real-life’ project. You (and your partner/s) will need to schedule with me a five-minute slot OR send an email so that I can review your idea to ensure it has enough meat AND that you can actually accomplish what you are intending.
Ummm, do you have any project ideas?
Sure! I could help you brainstorm or give you some ideas on what students did in past semesters. Some random ideas that I think are interesting:
• Waste hauling and landfill monitoring
• Solar projects, especially related to agriculture in this area
• Digesters and energy production
• Parking lot replacement or siting of things like BMPs/greenroofs and associated benefits
• Energy costs on campus (replacing bulbs, reducing energy use, installing more efficient XXX)
I highly encourage you to come up with your own project if possible, it can be based on real life projects that you use to present a case study or a feasibility analysis of a new venture – the sky is the limit!
So what do we have to do for this thing?
You will need to carry out your analysis and examine a number of different alternatives. In the end I want three things:
1. A nicely put together spreadsheet of all your work for the project. (20 points)
a. Here is your chance to excel at Excel!
2. A one or two page fact sheet that conveys your study and looks nice – think in terms of an infographic (https://heri.ucla.edu/infographic/) (20 points)
3. A narrated PowerPoint (60 points)
a. The powerpoint should range between 10-15 minutes in length that conveys everything from your research. If you have questions on how to narrate/voice over a PowerPoint I can provide instructions/help. Be sure to introduce yourselves, the project, and then go into the good stuff
This will be due three days before last class day of the semester.
