Engineering Economy, 9th Edition delivers a structured textbook introducing engineering students, instructors, and practitioners to economic decision-making in technical environments. Authored by Leland Blank and Anthony Tarquin, the book establishes fundamental concepts in interest rates, economic equivalence, and rate of return.
The thematic progression moves from basic monetary factors to structured project evaluation. It details single-amount factors including present worth (P/F) and future worth (F/P), alongside uniform series factors such as capital recovery (A/P) and sinking fund (A/F).
To connect formula applications with modern software tools, the text integrates spreadsheet financial functions including PV, FV, PMT, NPER, RATE, and IRR. Practical case studies, such as assessing wind-sourced electricity generation costs, provide applied context for academic courses.
