Product Description
This book is intended for undergraduate engineering students taking the introductory engineering economics course at the university level. The fourth edition of Contemporary Engineering Economics has been thoroughly revised and updated while continuing to adopt a contemporary approach to the subject, and teaching, of engineering economics. This text aims not only to build a sound and comprehensive coverage of engineering economics, but also to address key educational challenges, such as student difficulty in developing the analytical skills required to make informed financial decisions.

 Excellent book November 5, 2009
O. Martinez (Tennessee)
Used the book on Engineering Economy and Advanced Engineering Economy courses. This book is a keeper. Excellent information that will be useful well into one's career. Good examples, well-structured. Highly recommended.
 Decent May 9, 2009

A decent enough textbook to get by with. Some examples are unnecessarily complex, but for the most part it does a good job of explaining everything. Overall, though, if you're an engineer the subject of introductory economics is so easy it doesn't really matter how good your textbook is.
Strongly Recommended October 15, 2009
G. Sobers
This book provides a solid foundation for the practicing engineer involved with the econmic evaluation of engineering projects, an area which determines for the greater part, whether projects should be progressed or aborted. The principles are well defined and the examples are easy to follow, rightfully stimulating thinking and not substituting for it, since as we are well aware, engineering projects may vary in size, scope and complexity. I would recommend this book to any engineering student or practicing engineer. Consulting the work of other authors (eg Sullivan) would supplement understanding and appreciation of the subject matter. I gave the book a 4 star rating because of the errors within the examples provided. The principles however, are conveyed so effectively in the text that identification of these errors become easy.
Very Good. June 22, 2003

This is an excellent text for an engineering economics class. It concisely explains and demonstrates basic ideas and financial concepts in a logical manner. The only draw back I could detect was the author's nomemclature, which he introduces at the first of the text. If you don't memorize it early on, it becomes difficult to understand quickly. The professor who taught the Engineering Economics class I took was none other than Chan Park himself (guess what the required text was!).
 Good information, but full of errors. June 9, 2009
Neil (Rosamond, CA United States)
The topic(s) of this book are highly valuable, but the book itself is full of math errors. Be sure to check the website for revision information. It would be much more useful if the sample problems would have an answer key.
