Engineering Economy
Pre-requisites

1. Understand the fundamental concepts of Engineering Economy.

Goals 2. Analyze and the ability of investments, and then demonstrate the principles and
techniques of engineering economic analysis as applied in different fields of
engineering. Interest factors and spreadsheet functions are used to perform
equivalency calculations on estimated cash flows that account for the time value of
money.
3. Conduct thorough calculating the economic equivalence and comparing options in
order to confirm such course, for all disciplines of the engineering sector, this
course is designed and organized to allow flexibility in topical coverage for any
undergraduate curriculum.
4. Applications on engineering projects analysis from economic point of view. And
to satisfied with the practical need for engineers towards making informed
financial decisions when acting as a team member or project manager for an
engineering project.

9. Course Policies and Procedures
1. There will be two mid-term exams and one comprehensive final exam. These exams are
(open) closed book exams. The final will be given during the regularly scheduled exam
period and will be a closed-book exam.
2. If a student misses his final exam without a valid excuse, a zero will be averaged into his
grade. (See the University's attendance regulations).
3. Assigned work will be due at the beginning of the class period on the assigned due
date. Deductions of 2% credit per day will be assessed for late work.

10. Conduct
Professional conduct is built upon the idea of mutual respect. Such conduct includes:

o Attending the class. Each class benefits from the attendance and participation of all students.
o Arriving on time. Late arrivals are disruptive to the class and show disrespect to those who are on time.
o Minimizing disruptions. Cell phones should be turned off during class. With few exceptions, you should
not leave and re-enter the class. You should avoid engaging in side conversations during class.
o Focusing on the class. You may take notes on laptops or on a paper. However using laptops for
activities such as web browsing and answering email are disruptive both to neighbors in the class.
o Respect. You should act respectfully toward all class participants.
o Academic honesty. Academic misconduct is a violation of the University. This includes: copying or
sharing answers on tests or assignments, plagiarism, or having someone else do your academic work.
Violations may result in a grade F for a test/assignment, the course, and in some cases suspension or
expulsion from the University.
