The semester plan outlines the topics, activities, readings and assignments for an engineering economics course over 7 weeks. Key topics include fundamentals of engineering economy, cost concepts, time value of money, minimum attractive rate of return, and comparing alternatives. Each week consists of lectures, readings, problem solving activities, group/individual presentations and assignments to reinforce the economic concepts through both conceptual and numerical problems.
