Engineering Economy
William G. Sullivan - 1999
Sullivan Elin M. Wicks C. Patrick Koelling A succinct job description for an engineer consists of just two words: problem solver. Broadly speaking, engineers use knowledge to find new ways of doing things economically. Engineering design solutions do not exist in a vacuum, but within the context of a business opportunity. Truly, every problem has multiple solutions, so the question is, “How does one rationally select the design solution with the most favorable economic result?” The answer to this question can also be put forth in two words: engineering economy. This field of engineering provides a systematic framework for evaluating the economic aspects of competing design solutions. Just as engineers model the stress on a support column or the thermodynamic properties of a steam turbine, they must also model the economic impact of their engineering recommendations. Engineering economy is the subject of this textbook. Highlights of Engineering Economy, Fourteenth Edition: × Fifty percent of end-of-chapter problems are new or revised. × A bank of algorithmically generated test questions is available to adopting instructors. × Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam-style questions are included among the end-of-chapter problem sets. × Spreadsheet models are integratedthroughout. × An appendix on the basics of accounting is included in Chapter 2. × Chapter 3 on Cost Estimation appears early in the book. × An appendix on techniques for using Excel in engineering economy is available for reference. × Numerous comprehensive examples and case studies appear throughout the book. × Extended learning exercises appear in most chapters. × Personal finance problems are featured in most chapters. × Many pointers to relevant Web sites are provided.
