This paper examines the classroom situation from an engineering point of view (size, structure, etc.) and its economic implications. The major points discussed include: the student-to-teacher radio, the availability of teaching materials, length of the class period, and the excess burden placed on teachers. Suggestions will be presented which may improve the overall quality of instruction while reducing the stressful workload of the instructors. All suggestions are limited to those which will not increase the cost of instruction. Specific suggestions include multi-teacher classrooms and teacher rotation.
