摘要

摘要本文介绍了一个模块化活动，旨在提高人们对复杂环境中工程经济学概念的兴趣和理解。通过名为“Let's Bid！”的竞赛游戏，学生们能够理解电力市场中技术特征与供需平衡之间的关系，并讨论不确定性如何影响发电能力投资和公司定价策略。这种创新的教学方法已在中学、高中和本科院校实施。每次实施耗时不到60 分钟，培养了学生对工程经济学概念（即供需平衡、风险和市场）的浓厚兴趣和理解。

“Let’s Bid!” - A modular activity to promote interest in engineering economy

Abstract This article presents a modular activity designed to promote interest and understanding of engineering economics concepts in a complex environment. Through a competition game, called “Let’s Bid!”, the students are able to understand the relationship between technological characteristics and supply and demand equilibrium in electricity markets, and discuss how uncertainty impacts investments in generation capacity and firm pricing strategies. This innovative teaching method was implemented in middle school, high school, and undergraduate college settings. Each implementation took less 60 minutes, and resulted in a strong student interest and understanding of engineering economics concepts (i.e., supply-demand equilibrium, risk, and markets).

期刊介绍： The Engineering Economist is a refereed journal published jointly by the Engineering Economy Division of the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) and the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE). The journal publishes articles, case studies, surveys, and book and software reviews that represent original research, current practice, and teaching involving problems of capital investment. The journal seeks submissions in a number of areas, including, but not limited to: capital investment analysis, financial risk management, cost estimation and accounting, cost of capital, design economics, economic decision analysis, engineering economy education, research and development, and the analysis of public policy when it is relevant to the economic investment decisions made by engineers and technology managers.
