This course addresses cost analysis related to planning and executing projects. While engineers find it necessary to learn the basic accounting and business principles to communicate with accountants, few accountants are willing to learn the engineering details. The basic cost evaluation techniques presented in the course will help engineers to “think like MBAs and act like engineers”.

Installed costs and capital offsets are important economic parameters for evaluation of a proposed investment. The concept of money having a time value is fundamental to understanding any economic or financial analysis. This 3 -hour course provides basic fundamentals of cost evaluation that can be applied to new, retrofit, expansion and modification projects.

The course is intended primarily for managers, engineers, architects, scientists, auditors, campaigners, academics, equipment manufacturers and designers.
