The "dollars and cents" business side of Engineering often doesn't receive the emphasis in college that employers would like. While engineers typically work towards a goal of finding the most efficient solution to a problem, in the business world, "efficiency" often means the least-cost solution. Engineering Economics provides the tools for determining the most cost-effective alternative in an organized fashion. This topic is relevant to any engineer who must consider cost in his or her decisions.
In this course the student will apply the fundamentals of Engineering Economics to analyzing a project. The course assumes the student has a working knowledge of the topics covered in Engineering Economics - Fundamentals (i.e., time value of money, inflation, depreciation, project cash flows, etc.)
After completing this course, the student should understand how to apply economic analysis tools like Total Life Cycle Cost, Payback Period, Net Present Value, Internal Rate of Return, Benefit/Cost Ratio, and Savings to Investment Ratio.
