For undergraduate, introductory courses in Engineering Economics.
Used by engineering students worldwide, this best-selling text provides a sound understanding of the principles, basic concepts, and methodology of engineering economy. Built upon the rich and time-tested teaching materials of earlier editions, it is extensively revised and updated to reflect current trends and issues, with an emphasis on the economics of engineering design throughout. It provides one of the most complete and up-to-date studies of this vitally important field.

From the Back Cover
Is the design/device technically feasible? What does it cost/will it pay for itself? Practicing engineers are routinely faced with these crucially important questions. To answer the first question, engineers draw upon their technical skills, which have been carefully honed through courses in engineering science/design as well as by professional experience. The second question is often more difficult for engineers to answer affirmatively. This may be true because economic principles were addressed only as an afterthought in their engineering coursework, or possibly not at all! Those students who were fortunate enough to have taken a course in engineering economy have little difficulty answering the "Will it pay...?" question, which is frequently just as important a question as "Will it work?" This statement strikes many engineering students as unbelievable; yet later on, their professional careers will be significantly affected by their ability to deal competently with the economic aspects of engineering.
This twelfth edition of Engineering Economy provides exciting insights and thought-provoking inquiries into the principles, concepts, and techniques of engineering economy. The primary audience for this text is undergraduate students in engineering. As in previous editions, the twelfth edition reflects current theory and practice in the file of engineering economy by way of comprehensive and lucid content. In this edition an attempt has been made to demonstrate how the analysis of alternatives and the ability to earn an adequate return on capital investments are related to the well-being of flourishing and profitable enterprises.
New Features in Engineering Economy, 12e:
- A new Chapter 15 dealing with multiattibuted decision making
- Expanded coverage of cost estimating in Chapter 7
- Economic principles of engineering design now included in Chapter 2
- A completely rewritten Chapter 9 on Replacement Analysis
- Internet Boxes, which direct students to additional information on the internet

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
