Course Description and Objectives:
This course is designed to provide engineering students with knowledge and understanding of engineering and management cost analysis, budgeting and estimating techniques, and an overall sense of business concepts in the engineering work environment. The primary purpose of this course is to provide the students with a level of expertise in cost engineering that will allow them to effectively estimate, analyze and manage cost over the life cycle of products and projects. Another goal of the course is to develop engineering student’s ability to apply cost engineering concepts and processes to problem solution, management and organizational issues. Students will be exposed to “real-life” problems through examples and real engineering problems. This is a class with significant class participation. Working together is encouraged on concepts and approaches to homework problems but each student is expected to submit original
