Advanced Engineering Economics, Second Edition, provides an integrated framework for understanding and applying project evaluation and selection concepts that are critical to making informed individual, corporate, and public investment decisions. Grounded in the foundational principles of economic analysis, this well-regarded reference describes a comprehensive range of central topics, from basic concepts such as accounting income and cash flow, to more advanced techniques including deterministic capital budgeting, risk simulation, and decision tree analysis. Fully updated throughout, the second edition retains the structure of its previous iteration, covering basic economic concepts and techniques, deterministic and stochastic analysis, and special topics in engineering economics analysis. New and expanded chapters examine the use of transform techniques in cash flow modeling, procedures for replacement analysis, the evaluation of public investments, corporate taxation, utility theory, and more. Now available as interactive eBook, this classic volume is essential reading for both students and practitioners in fields including engineering, business and economics, operations research, and systems analysis.

Engineering Economic and Cost Analysis is a practical introduction for those engineering students and professional practitioners who are new to the study of engineering economics.

An easy-to-follow contemporary engineering economics text that helps making sound economic decisions without advanced mathematics. This one-semester introduction to the fundamentals of engineering economics provides an overview of the basic theory and mathematics underlying operational business decisions that engineering technology, engineering, and industrial technology students will face in the workplace. A basic knowledge of economics empowers a manager to balance costs with production. This new edition of Fundamentals of Economics for Engineering Technologists and Engineers is written in plain language. Concepts have been simplified and kept straightforward with an emphasis on "how to apply" economic principles. Practical examples as a tool for managing business data and giving detailed analysis of business operations. throughout the text make good use of Microsoft Excel templates, provided on the book’s companion website, for students. Chapter-end exercises provide discussion and multiple-choice questions along with numerical problems, and a solutions manual and instructor resources is given for adopting instructors.
