What is Engineering Economy ???

Engineering economy is a subset of economy for application to engineering projects

Engineers seek solutions to problems, and the economic viability of each potential alternative or design is normally considered along with the technical aspects

Engineering economy involves the evaluation of the costs and benefits of proposed projects

Why Engineering Economy is Important?

There are lots of factors that are considered in making Decisions, these factors are combinations of economic and non economic ones.

• Engineers play a major role in investment by making decisions based on economic analysis and design considerations

Thus, decisions often reflect the engineer’s choice of how to best invest funds by choosing the proper alternative out of a set of alternatives

Role of Engineering Economy in Decision Making

• Engineers make decisions but tools and computers do not.• Tools assist engineers in making decisions.• Decisions affect what will happen in the future and thus the

time frame of engineering economy is the future.• So, engineering economy analysis presents the best estimates

of what is expected to occur.•

Understand the Problem

Collect all relevant data/information

Define the feasible alternatives

Evaluate each alternative

Select the “best” alternative

Role of Engineering Economy in Decision Making

• The economic evaluation of alternatives is based on the so called “Measure of Worth” such as:

• Present worth: amount of money at the current time• Future worth: amount of money at some future time• Payback period: Number of years to recover the initial

investment and a stated rate of return.• Rate of return: Compound interest rate on unpaid or

unrecovered balances.• Benefit/cost ratio

There are other factors that affect the decision making such as:

This may place less reliance on the economic-based factors yet this also shows the importance of knowing all the involved factors including the economic ones

Time Value of MoneyTime Value of Money (TVM) is an important concept

• TVM is based on the concept that money that you hold today isworth more because you can invest it and earn interest

• For instance, you can invest your dollar for one year at a 6% annual interest rate and accumulate $1.06 at the end of the year.

• You can say that the future value of the dollar is $1.06 given a6% interest rate and a one-year period

THINKING LIKE AN ECONOMISTEvery field of study has its own language and its own way of thinking:

Mathematicians talk about integrals, and vector spaces.

Psychologists talk about ego, and cognitive dissonance

Lawyers talk about the legal terms.

Economics is no different. Supply, demand, elasticity, comparative advantage, consumer surplus, deadweight loss—these terms are part of the economist’s language.

Economic Order of Islam

ISLAM is not an ascetic religion and does not aim at depriving Muslims of the 'good things that God has provided' (al-Qur'an, 7: 32).

Virtue therefore lies not in shunning the bounties of God, but in enjoying them within the framework of the values for 'righteous living' through which Islam seeks to promote human welfare.
