Jerome Lavelle, co-author Engineering Economic Analysis, 11E, won the 2011 Wellington Award, which is given at the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) Annual Conference & Expo and recognizes outstanding contributions in the field of engineering economy. His co-authors, Donald Newnan and Ted Eschenbach, have both taken home the prize in the past.

This eleventh edition of the market-leading Engineering Economic Analysis offers comprehensive coverage of financial and economic decision-making for engineers, with an emphasis on problem solving, life-cycle costs, and the time value of money. The authors' concise, accessible writing, practical emphasis, and contemporary examples linked to students' everyday lives make this text the most popular among students. And with the most extensive support package, this is the easiest book to teach from.

Customer Reviews

great CD!

The CD is great! It is full of songs that are amusing and the lyrics teach me a lot.

Hearsay

I'm taking this class right now. My prof said that this text is even better than the one he (my prof) wrote. He also said there's an interesting backstory to this text: apparently Newnan wrote the book and no one would publish it, so he published it himself. I'll write my own review at the end of the semester.

Clear, easy

Very clear explanations. Found it really easy to understand and apply to my own business. You could breeze through this book in a week by spending a few hours on it a day.

Change of Pace

This book explores a whole different side of chemical engineering. Useful as a reference but some of the problems are extremely difficult. Overall good book

An excellent resource.

This is a well written text on the subject with the subject matter well presented. Another feature is the CD. Excellent spreadsheets.
