Course Objectives	This course aims to introduce the economic dimension of evaluating and selecting alternative investment projects. By the end of the course, the student will be able to investigate engineering economy problems, and formulate and solve such problems using appropriate conceptual and mathematical skills and modeling structures.
Course Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Students will be able to identify the principles and methods necessary to evaluate and select engineering alternatives. Students will be able to discuss the concepts of time value of money and interest rates. Students will be able to recognize, formulate, and analyze cash flow models in practical situations. Students will be able to analyze cash flow series using present value, future worth, annual worth, and rate of return methods. Students will be able to develop cash flow series considering the effects of depreciation, taxes and inflation Students will be able to analyze decision problems related to equipment replacement. Students will be able to interpret economy studies and investment decisions in the public sector.
Course Content	Economic analysis for engineering and managerial decision-making; cash flows, effect of time and interest rate on money and physical assets; methods of evaluating alternatives: present worth, future worth, annual worth, rate-of-return and benefit/cost ratios; depreciation and taxes; effects of inflation.
