Abstract
We are developing a new system that supports a suite of interrelated computer modules based on real-world scenarios. The primary goals of the project are to integrate industrial engineering courses, improve students’ information technology skills, and enhance students’ problem solving skills. In particular, metacognitive abilities will be strengthened as students apply domain knowledge, data, methods and software tools while monitoring their own solution processes. This paper presents some of our results from a pilot study in a large engineering economic analysis course.
