AB  - The U.S. student debt crisis has become an epidemic for the last two generation of graduate students.  Unfortunately, this virus has now expanded to the Engineering fields where debt was minimized by such pursuits as internships, co-ops, and research projects that were supported by scholarships and fellowship funds, especially at the undergraduate level.  Many feel that this excessive borrowing is due to student lack of understanding of debt.  Faculty who teach Engineering Economy could feel dumbfounded that any engineering student would claim lack time value of money, compound Interest, and depreciation.  This study seeks to investigate the impact Engineering courses impact on student decisions towards incurring excessive student debt.

We seek to introduce a test instrument to be used by Engineering Economy courses through the ASEE Econ division outreach that provides insights to student knowledge, perception and intentions on debt before, during, immediately after the class, and longitudinally until one year after graduation.  The expected results of the model is to increase understanding and responsibility for EE faculty to educate future engineers about debt, motivate engineering students to be more responsible with money, and to positively impact the student debt crisis.
