Book excerpt: The authors cover two general topics: basic engineering economics and risk analysis in this text. Within the topic of engineering economics are discussions on the time value of money and interest relationships. These interest relationships are used to define certain project criteria that are used by engineers and project managers to select the best economic choice among several alternatives. Projects examined will include both income- and service-producing investments. The effects of escalation, inflation, and taxes on the economic analysis of alternatives are discussed. Risk analysis incorporates the concepts of probability and statistics in the evaluation of alternatives. This allows management to determine the probability of success or failure of the project. Two types of sensitivity analyses are presented. The first is referred to as the range approach while the second uses probabilistic concepts to determine a measure of the risk involved. The authors have designed the text to assist individuals to prepare to successfully complete the economics portions of the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam. Table of Contents: Introduction / Interest and the Time Value of Money / Project Evaluation Methods / Service Producing Investments / Income Producing Investments / Determination of Project Cash Flow / Financial Leverage / Basic Statistics and Probability / Sensitivity Analysis

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Engineering Economic Analysis offers a powerful, visually-rich approach to the subject—delivering streamlined yet rigorous coverage of the use of economic analysis techniques in engineering design. This award-winning textbook provides an impressive array of pedagogical tools to maximize student engagement and comprehension, including learning objectives, key term definitions, comprehensive case studies, classroom discussion questions, and challenging practice problems. Clear, topically—organized chapters guide students from fundamental concepts of borrowing, lending, investing, and time value of money, to more complex topics such as capitalized and future worth, external rate of return, deprecation, and after-tax economic analysis. This fully-updated second edition features substantial new and revised content that has been thoroughly re-designed to support different learning and teaching styles. Numerous real-world vignettes demonstrate how students will use economics as practicing engineers, while plentiful illustrations, such as cash flow diagrams, reinforce student understanding of underlying concepts. Extensive digital resources now provide an immersive interactive learning environment, enabling students to use integrated tools such as Excel. The addition of the WileyPLUS platform provides tutorials, videos, animations, a complete library of Excel video lessons, and much more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than any other book available, Risk Analysis in Engineering and Economics introduces the fundamental concepts, techniques, and applications of the subject in a style tailored to meet the needs of students and practitioners of engineering, science, economics, and finance. Drawing on his extensive experience in uncertainty and risk modeling and analysis, the author leads readers from the fundamental concepts through the theory, applications, and data requirements, sources, and collection. He emphasizes the practical use of the methods presented and carefully examines the limitations, advantages, and disadvantages of each. Case studies that incorporate the techniques discussed offer a practical perspective that helps readers clearly identify and solve problems encountered in practice. If you deal with decision-making under conditions of uncertainty, this book is required reading. The presentation includes more than 300 tables and figures, more than 100 examples, many case studies, and a wealth of end-of-chapter problems. Unlike the classical books on reliability and risk assessment, this book helps you relate underlying concepts to everyday applications and better prepares you to understand and use the methods of risk analysis.

Book excerpt: In today's rapidly changing global economy, business managers must have the tools and know-how to quickly evaluate the economic viability of potential solutions to engineering problems. An entire field of study has evolved to meet this need, yet there are few straightforward texts that outline the basics of engineering economics. Fundamentals of Engineering Economics is an accessible, comprehensive guide to the fundamental principles, concepts, and methods of engineering economics. Utilizing detailed case studies and exercises reflecting current trends and issues in economics, this book introduces students to a variety of key concepts, including estimation of the time value of money, evaluation of a single project, decision analysis, depreciation and taxes. This is an ideal textbook for Economic Analysis and Technical Applications students, or anyone seeking to gain an understanding of the core concepts of engineering economics. Fundamentals of Engineering Economics is organized into the following topical chapters: - Overview of Engineering Economy - Fixed and Variable Costs - Time Worth of Money - Five Methods for Evaluation of Capital Project - Comparison of Alternates and Decision Analysis - Depreciation and Replacement Analysis - Taxes, Tariffs, and Duties - Public Sector Initiatives and Benefit-to-Cost Ratio - Break-Even Analysis and Spider Plots Kal Renganathan Sharma serves as Adjunct Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Roy G. Perry College of Engineering at Prairie View A&M University. He received his B.Tech. from the Indian Institute of Technology (1985, Chennai, India) and his MS and Ph.D degrees from West Virginia University (1987, 1990, Morgantown, WV). All three degrees are in chemical engineering. Dr. Sharma is the author of 10 books, 4 book chapters, 21 journal articles, 528 conference papers and 108 other presentations. He is the recipient of several prestigious honors and awards, including the Outstanding Student of the Penultimate Year from the Rev.

Book excerpt: Based on the reality that today's engineers need a broad range of decision-making skills, this unique reference draws together--"into a single comprehensive volume"--all the fundamental principles of systems analysis (both hard and soft systems), economics (particularly microeconomics), probability, and statistics that engineers need to develop a rich, multifaceted perspective from which to tackle--and solve--complex engineering problems. The emphasis throughout is on presenting the fundamental concepts and their practical engineering applications, "unobscured by complicated mathematics." Using a large number of worked examples, it integrates the power of quantitative analysis with the conceptual richness of capital budgeting and microeconomics into the elements of systems engineering. Coverage is broad-based and applicable for engineers in practically "all" branches of engineering. The Systems Approach. Problem Solving in Engineering & Planning. Basic Engineering Economics & Evaluation. Basic Micro Economics for Engineers & Planners. Principles of Probability (Probability Theory; Random Variables and Probability Distributions; Joint Probability Functions and Correlated Variables). Principles of Statistics (Estimation of Statistical Parameters and Testing Validity of Distribution Functions; Hypothesis Testing, Analysis of Variance, Regression and Correlation Analysis). Basic Hard Systems Engineering. Basic Soft Systems Thinking & Analysis. For Civil, Chemical, Electrical, Environmental, Mechanical, and Industrial Engineers, Urban Planners, Architects, and Construction Managers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For undergraduate, introductory courses in Engineering Economics. This text presents engineering economy in the context of a decision-making framework such that the student understands the necessary tools and their application. It begins with an introduction to the basics of engineering economy (interest, time-value-of-money, and equivalence), then explores the entire decision-making process, from defining the problem through post-implementation analysis, just as one would when building a case for management in order to make a capital investment decision.
