โฆ Synopsis
This thoroughly revised Second Edition combines real-world problems, mini-cases, and examples with a solid theoretical foundation in engineering economy. The book covers all the standard topics included in the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam. It clearly illustrates concepts and methods-such as cost estimating, sensitivity analysis, probability, and multiple objectives-needed for successful application of engineering economy in industry practice. In addition, fully integrated ExcelRG spreadsheets throughout the text, function as indispensable analytical tools for problem-solving and understanding.
