 Engineering is the profession in which knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences gained by study experience and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize economically the material and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind.

Engineering Economics is a subject of vital importance to Engineers. This subject helps one understand the need for the knowledge of Economics for being an effective manager and decision-maker.

Engineering economics is concerned with the systematic evaluation of the benefits and costs of projects involving engineering design and analysis.

Engineering economics quantifies the benefits and costs associating with engineering projects to determine if they save enough money to warrant their capital investments. Engineering economics requires the application of engineering design and analysis principles to provide goods and services that satisfy the consumer at an affordable cost. Engineering economics is also relevant to the design engineer who considers material selection.

Engineers are planners and builders. They are also problem solvers, managers, and decision-makers. At the beginning of the 20th century, engineers were mainly concerned with the design, construction, operation of machines structures, and processes.

1. Engineering Economics is closely aligned with Conventional Micro-Economics.

2. Engineering Economics is devoted to problem-solving and decision-making at the operations level.

3. Engineering Economics can lead to sub-optimization of conditions in which a solution satisfies tactical objectives at the expense of strategic effectiveness.

4. Engineering Economics is useful to identify alternative uses of limited resources and to select the preferred course of action.

5. Engineering Economics is pragmatic in nature. It removes complicated abstract issues of economic theory.

6. Engineering Economics mainly uses the body of economic concepts and principles.

7. Engineering Economics integrates economic theory with engineering practice.
