ENGINEERING ECONOMICS

ENGR - 2308 - 87

Course Description:

Methods used for determining the comparative financial desirability of engineering alternatives. Provides the student with the basic tools required to analyze engineering alternatives in terms of their worth and cost, an essential element of engineering practice. The student is introduced to   the concept of the time value of money and the methodology of basic engineering economy        techniques. The course will address some aspects of sustainability and will provide the student   with the background to enable them to pass the Engineering Economy portion of the                    Fundamentals of Engineering exam.

This is a very fast-paced online course. It is not “less work” or “easier” than the face-to-face        semester-long version. It has the same assignments and content as the 16-week course, but you    must complete it over 5 weeks. Therefore, expect to spend 3 to 4 hours per day on this class,        including weekends. You will need to follow the course calendar closely. You can work ahead,   but make sure you don’t fall behind; it is very difficult to catch up given how fast the course goes in a summer session.

Prerequisites and/or Corequisites:

Students must have a C or better in MATH 2413—Calculus I
