Engineering Economy

by Leland T. Blank

Engineering Economy, 7th edition , presents a crisp, bold new design using color, highlighting and icons to focus on important concepts, terms, equations and decision guidelines. There are new features, new topics (such as ethics and staged decision making), and new online tools; yet no compromise on coverage, examples, or the well-accepted writing style of this popular text. The preface provides an overview of What’s New and graphically depicts resources for Instructors and Students. Solved examples, problems and case studies target many of the current engineering challenges in areas such as energy, ethics, the environment, and the world’s changing economics. Approximately eighty percent of the end-of-chapter problems are revised or new for this edition. Some of the outstanding pedagogical characteristics of this new edition include its easy-to-read writing style, learning outcomes for each section, progressive examples used throughout a chapter, solved examples using manual and integrated spreadsheet solutions, updated case studies, Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam questions for each chapter, and numerous new end-of-chapter exercises. A significant new feature is the availability of brief, downloadable online presentations (podcasts) that incorporate voice-over, animated Power Point slides. These are available on the text’s website for students and instructors to utilize as support tools in or outside the classroom. Each module includes descriptive material and worked examples that supplement course material.

It was a fun textbook

[Haytham Badawey · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is priceless! I think this book is the most important and valuable book for investors, and for everyone in general. Time value of money has never been thoroughly discussed and covered like in this book. I couldn't emphasize how much I love this book, it did change my life plans and my way of thinking towards my personal goals and career goals. Thank God, I had the solution manual, without the solution manual, it would not have been as helpful though.

Just threw in this one as a joke. Is it the book or the class that goes along with the book that deserves one star?

experessions of this book

I didn't take this class in college and the $3 used book store find made it an option. You encounter a lot of this math, cost of time, and value of money in work. A lot of it gets miscontrued or not considered correctly. You really have to get to chapters 8 and beyond to realize how mistakes are made. Problem is that the previous chapters set you up for understanding the later chapters. Can't read the last few chapters and skip.
