Wall Street Journal to Provide National and Global Perspectives in an Engineering Economy CourseAbstractObjectives: Engineering economy courses typically follow a format that includes themathematics of time value of money, project analysis using methods such as NPV and IRR, andsome tax and depreciation coverage. These topics provide students with a good background toeconomically analyze projects, but they do not provide a big picture perspective of howengineers interact with the world at large and how engineers are involved in economicundertakings that span the globe.
