engineering educational system on the economic dimension using hypothesis testing
approach. The comparison involved trend analysis and prediction based on costs and
benefits of the two systems. Interestingly, the analysis revealed that the traditional system
had greater advantage on the economic dimension. Several factors support the e-learning
system despite the associated economic disadvantage. The final analysis provided results
