This edition has been thoroughly revised and updated while continuing to adopt a contemporary approach to the subject, and teaching, of engineering economics. This text aims not only to build a sound and comprehensive coverage of engineering economics, but also to address key educational challenges, such as student difficulty in developing the analytical skills required to make informed financial decisions.
Dr. Chan S. Park is a Ginn Distinguished Professor of Engineering in the Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering at Auburn University.His teaching and research interests are in the area of engineering economic decisions and financial engineering. He received his PhD from Georgia Institute of Technology.
