Product Description: This is a text treatment of engineering economy that conceptually links theory to actual practice. It also emphasizes constrained project selection, pedagogy and modern computational tools (computers and spreadsheets).
Very well written Coming into the Cost Analysis class, I was not the biggest fan of engineering economy. This book, however, was very well written and very straight forward. I took this class at a graduate level, and felt it might be more appropriate at an undergraduate level. The concepts are very basic, and though it gets into more difficult problems near the end, the book does a good job of walking the reader through problems step-by-step. It also gives several good examples, though they are not as thorough in the last few chapters.
Overall, kudos to the author for making the subject comprehensible and interesting.
