Fundamentals of Engineering Economic Analysis

Fundamentals of Engineering Economic Analysis offers a powerful, visually-rich approach to the subject―delivering  streamlined yet rigorous coverage of the use of economic analysis  techniques in engineering design. This award-winning textbook provides  an impressive array of pedagogical tools to maximize student engagement  and comprehension, including learning objectives, key term definitions,  comprehensive case studies, classroom discussion questions, and  challenging practice problems. Clear, topically―organized chapters guide  students from fundamental concepts of borrowing, lending, investing,  and time value of money, to more complex topics such as capitalized and  future worth, external rate of return, deprecation, and after-tax  economic analysis.

This fully-updated second edition  features substantial new and revised content that has been thoroughly  re-designed to support different learning and teaching styles. Numerous  real-world vignettes demonstrate how students will use economics as  practicing engineers, while plentiful illustrations, such as cash flow  diagrams, reinforce student understanding of underlying concepts.
