Recensione

"Adopters who want to teach their students how to solve the problems they are likely to encounter on the FE should be happy with Sullivan... Sullivan has passed the test of time for good reasons." — William Shughart, University of Mississippi

"I think that Sullivan et al. is clearer and easier to read than some of the other texts. It sticks to application more than theory and has a lot of examples and problems." — Karen Bursic, University of Pittsburgh

"There is a wealth of end-of-chapter problems that are both well done and written in a way that students, in general, understand what is being asked. The text has proven the test of time and has been honed to a fine edge." — Patrick Knelling, Virginia Polytechnic Institute

Dalla quarta di copertina

Used by engineering students worldwide, this best-selling text provides a sound understanding of the principles, basic concepts, and methodology of engineering economy. Built upon the rich and time-tested teaching materials of earlier editions, it is extensively revised and updated to reflect current trends and issues, with an emphasis on the economics of engineering design throughout.

New to the Thirteenth Edition:

• Case studies with end-of-chapter questions that encourage writing and critical thinking.
• Fundamentals of Engineering Exam multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter.
• Spreadsheets integrated throughout the text. In particular, many examples include solutions, both hand worked and with spreadsheets, so students can see both techniques side by side. New end-of-chapter spreadsheet problems are included, as well as spreadsheet templates on the student CAD.
• Brief basic review of simple accounting principles.
• Increased emphasis on cost estimating.
• Expanded treatment given to the economic aspects of engineering design.

The spreadsheet examples that accompany each chapter, Appendix A: "Using Excel to Solve Engineering Economy Problems," the Spreadsheet Modeling supplement, and the Expanded Example supplements that appear on the Student CD have been provided by James Alloway. Dr. Alloway has been developing and using spreadsheets since the early 1980s to solve problems and enhance learning in industry, academia, end in his consulting practice. His affiliation with this text began in 1993.
