Engineering Economics

About Course

Engineering economics is the application of economic principles and calculations to engineering projects. It is important to all fields of engineering because no matter how technically sound an engineering project is, it will fail if it is not economically feasible.

Engineering Economic Decisions-Rational Decision Making
The term engineering economic decision refers to any investment decision related to an engineering project. The facet of an economic decision that is of most interest from an engineer’s point of view is the evaluation of costs and benefits associated with making a capital investment.

Handling Risk and Uncertainty
We have demonstrated how to develop cash flows in a variety of ways and how to compare them under constant conditions in the general economy. In other words, we have assumed that prices remain relatively unchanged over long periods. As you know from personal experience, that is not a realistic assumption. In this topic, we define and quantify inflation and then go on to apply it in several economic analyses. We will demonstrate inflation’s effect on depreciation, borrowed funds, the rate of return of a project, and working capital within the bigger picture of developing projects.

Overall, an engineering economics course provides students with a framework to analyze the financial viability of engineering projects. It equips them with tools and techniques to evaluate costs, assess project profitability, consider risk factors, and make informed decisions based on economic considerations. These skills are essential for engineers involved in project management, investment analysis, and economic decision-making in various industries.
