project evaluation techniques. There are text books on accounting
methods and yet others on business management. This book does not
aim to replace these specialized texts but brings together the
elements of these subjects that young engineers working in industry
- particularly the construction industry and its customers
- need to understand.
Most engineers learn about money the hard way: by experience in
the workplace. The authors having done this themselves recognized
the gap in engineers' education and set out to bridge it.
This book is based on a 1996 course George Solt pioneered for
final-year engineering undergraduates. The book is written in an
approachable style and gives young engineers as well as mature
engineers an insight into the way engineering businesses run, the
importance of capital and the problems of cash flow.
RICHARD HILL worked for twenty years in design and proposals in the contracting industry and served as marketing director for a specialist process plant contractor. He now runs his own independent consultancy and lectures at Cranfield University, University College London, and UNESCO-IHE in Delft, Holland. GEORGE SOLT spent thirty years in industrial research and development serving as technical director in two-specialist process plant contracting companies before becoming a full-time academic at Cranfield University and University College London.

Index.
"Engineering Money is an excellent book for an undergraduate course
dealing with return on investment issues for any contracted
project, but particularly for engineering projects. The one-liner
summary items would provide excellent starting points for a
spirited class discussion. Highly recommended. Lower-and-upper
division undergraduates." (Choice , 1 April 2011)
