Engineering Economics Analysis 11th Edition

Abstract

Our goal has been, and still is, to provide an easy-to-understand and up-to-date presentation of engineering economic analysis for today’s students. That means the book’s writing style must promote the reader’s understanding. We humbly note that our approach has been well received by engineering professors—and more importantly—by engineering students through ten previous editions. Hallmarks of this Book Since it was first published in 1976, this text has become the market-leading book for the engineering economy course. It has always been characterized by • A focus on practical applications. One way to encourage students to read the book, and to remember and apply what they have learned in this course, is to make the book interesting. And there is no better way to do that than to infuse the book with real-world examples, problems, and vignettes. • Accessibility. We meet students where they are. Most don’t have any expertise in accounting or finance. We take the time to explain concepts carefully while helping them apply them to engineering situations. • Superior instructor and student support packages. To make this course easier to understand, learn, and teach Oxford University Press has produced the best support package available. We offer more for students and instructors than any competing text. Changes to the 11th Edition This edition has many significant improvements in coverage. Before going chapter-bychapter, we’d like to point out a few global changes made to keep this text the most current and most useful in today’s courses: • Additions to the ancillaries for students and faculty include a new set of 36 Excel tutorials, and a test bank approach to replace the Word exam file. Updates to the Student Study Guide, Instructor’s Manual, Instructor PowerPoint slides, etc., were also done. • Six new vignettes have been contributed and another six have been revised to ensure that the set of vignettes is timely, interesting, and motivating to the students. More ethics questions are now part of the Questions to Consider. • Over 270 new problems have been added and another 70 problems have been revised
