This text introduces the basic theory and application of engineering economy. Designed to emphasize the strengths of traditional factors and of spreadsheet coverage, this book is an ideal text for undergraduate and beginning graduate-level engineering economy courses. It is also suitable for self-study by practicing engineers and for reference during the practice of engineering. This book continues to solidify its reputation as one of the most innovative, authoritative, and reliable texts in engineering economics. It provides the tools and concepts, including cost estimating, sensitivity analysis, probability, and multiple objectives, that are necessary to successfully apply engineering economy in industry practice outside of the classroom.
