Engineering is the profession in which knowledge of the mathematical & natural sciences gained by study, experience & practice is applied w/ judgment to develop ways to use, economically, the forces of nature for the benefit of humankind.(ABET)

T1. Rational decision-making process(what engineers do)
– Recognize a decision problem
– Define the goals or objectives
– Collect all the relevant information
– Identify a set of feasible decision alternatives
– Select the decision criterion to use
– Select the best alternative
![Page 4: ENGR 155 – Engineering economics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012419/617437b3e1cfd86aed5d2b99/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Text example: which car to lease?Saturn vs. Honda
Need a car
Want mechanical security
Gather technical as well as financial data
Choose between Saturn and Honda
Want minimum total cash outlay
Select Honda
– Recognize a decision problem
– Define the goals or objectives
– Collect all the relevant information

Time & uncertainty are the defining aspects of any engineering
economic decision

T5. A large-scale engineering project
– Requires a large sum of investment
– Takes a long time to see the financial outcomes
– Has uncertainty in predicting the revenue & cost streams
![Page 12: ENGR 155 – Engineering economics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012419/617437b3e1cfd86aed5d2b99/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
T6. Types of strategic engineering economic decisions in manufacturing sector
– Service improvement – Equipment & process selection– Equipment replacement– New product & product expansion– Cost reduction
![Page 13: ENGR 155 – Engineering economics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012419/617437b3e1cfd86aed5d2b99/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Fundamental principles of engineering economics
1. A nearby dollar is worth more than a distant dollar
2. All that counts are the differences among alternatives
3. Marginal revenue must exceed marginal cost 4. Additional risk is not taken without the
expected additional return
![Page 14: ENGR 155 – Engineering economics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012419/617437b3e1cfd86aed5d2b99/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Principle 1: A nearby dollar is worth more than a distant dollar
today 6-month later

Principle 2: All that counts are the differences among alternatives
Option Monthly fuel cost
Monthly mainten-ance
Cash outlay at signing
Monthly payment

Summary of chapter 1
– Engineering economic decision refers to all investment decisions relating to engineering projects
– Five main types of engineering economic decisions: service improvement, equipment & process selection, equipment replacement, new product & product expansion, cost reduction
– The factors of time & uncertainty are the defining aspects of any investment project

Time value of money– Money has a time value
because it can earn more money over time (earning power).
– Money has a time value because its purchasing power changes over time (inflation).
– Time value of money is measured in terms of interest rate.
– Interest is the cost of money—a cost to the borrower & an earning to the lender

What determines interest rate?– Time value of money– Risk– Overhead costs– Inflation– Supply of & demand for funds

Money supply & demand

Methods of calculating interest
Simple interest: the practice of charging an interest rate only to an initial sum (principal amount).
Compound interest: the practice of charging an interest rate to an initial sum & to any previously accumulated interest that has not been withdrawn.

Simple interest
P = Principal amounti = Interest rateN = Number of interest
periodsExample:
P = $1,000i = 8%N = 3 years
