Handouts From Professor Calabrese

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

    An estimate is a calculation of the quantities of various items of work, and the expenses likely to be incurred there on. The total of these probable expenses to be incurred on the work is known as estimated cost of the work. The estimated cost of a work is a close approximation of its actual cost. The agreement of the estimated cost with the actual cost will depend on accurate use of estimating methods and correct visualization of the work, as it will be done. Importance of correct estimating is obvious. Under-estimating may result in the client getting an unpleasant shock when tenders are opened and drastically modifying or abandoning the work at that stage. Over-estimating may lose the engineer or estimator his client or his job, or in any case his confidence.…
