SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Now in its fourth edition, Engineering Economic Analysis is an essential introduction to the fundamental principles of engineering economics. Focusing on crucial skills, the text teaches engineers how to seek solutions to problems in the field and consider the economic and technical viability of all potential solutions. Now condensed into 15 chapters from 17, this fourth edition focuses on key content and Canadian coverage. A new chapter on project management has been included to reflect its importance as a Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) requirement. Praised for its accessible tone and engaging writing style, Engineering Economic Analysis provides students with an overview of the basic concepts of engineering economics, such as decision-making, cost estimating, cash flow, interest, inflation, rate of return, depreciation, taxes, and more. Hundreds of end-of-chapter problems and a revised suite of ancillary materials guide, enhance, and motivate student learning."--
