Engineering Economy

by Leland T. Blank, Anthony Tarquin

Engineering Economy presents a crisp, bold new design using color, highlighting and icons to focus on important concepts, terms, equations and decision guidelines. There are new features, new topics (such as ethics and staged decision making), and new online tools; yet no compromise on coverage, examples, or the well-accepted writing style of this popular text. Solved examples, problems and case studies target many of the current engineering challenges in areas such as energy, ethics, the environment, and the world’s changing economics. McGraw-Hill's Connect, is also available as an optional, add on item. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, how they need it, so that class time is more effective. Connect allows the professor to assign homework, quizzes, and tests easily and automatically grades and records the scores of the student's work. Problems are randomized to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a "multi-step solution" which helps move the students' learning along if they experience difficulty.

It was a fun textbook

[Haytham Badawey · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is priceless! I think this book is the most important and valuable book for investors, and for everyone in general. Time value of money has never been thoroughly discussed and covered like in this book. I couldn't emphasize how much I love this book, it did change my life plans and my way of thinking towards my personal goals and career goals. Thank God, I had the solution manual, without the solution manual, it would not have been as helpful though.

Just threw in this one as a joke. Is it the book or the class that goes along with the book that deserves one star?

I didn't take this class in college and the $3 used book store find made it an option. You encounter a lot of this math, cost of time, and value of money in work. A lot of it gets miscontrued or not considered correctly. You really have to get to chapters 8 and beyond to realize how mistakes are made. Problem is that the previous chapters set you up for understanding the later chapters. Can't read the last few chapters and skip.
