Engineering Economy

by Leland T. Blank, Anthony Tarquin

Engineering Economy, 6th edition, provides undergraduate students and practicing professionals with a solid preparation in the financial understanding of engineering problems and projects, as well as the techniques needed for evaluating and making sound economic decisions. Information on cost estimation, depreciation, and taxes has been updated to conform to new tax laws and a majority of the end-of-chapter problems are revised or new to this edition. Distinguishing pedagogical characteristics of this market-leading text include its easy-to-read writing style, chapter objectives, worked examples, integrated spreadsheets, case studies, Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam questions, and numerous end-of-chapter problems. Graphical cross-referencing is indicated so users are able to locate additional material on any one subject in the text. While the chapters are progressive, over three-quarters can stand alone, allowing instructors flexibility for meeting course needs. A complete Online Learning Center (OLC) offers supplemental practice problems, spreadsheet exercises, review questions for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, and more!

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.
