Purpose and Content

The aim of the course Engineering Economy is the process of making rational and intelligent decisions associated with the allocation of scarce resources in circumstances in which alternatives can be enumerated. This course provides engineers with skills to assess the cost and benefits of engineering investments, such as product and technology development programs and capital purchases. It also presents the framework for selecting among alternative designs, for managing technologies over their lifecycles, and for evaluating the finances of new ventures/projects
