1.

It involves the systematic evaluation of the economic merits of proposed solutions to engineering problems.

a)

Engineering Mathematics

b)

Engineering Mechanics

c)

Engineering Economics

d)

Engineering Statistics

2.

Identify which among principle of Engineering Economics it is:

Carefully define the problem! Then the choice (decision) is among alternatives. The alternatives need to be identified and then defined for subsequent analysis.

a)

Develop Alternatives

b)

Focus on Differences

c)

Use a consistent point of view

d)

Use a common unit of measure

3.

Identify which among principle of Engineering Economics it is:

Enumerate as many of the prospective outcomes as possible will simplify the analysis of the alternatives.

a)

Develop Alternatives

b)

Focus on differences

c)

Use a consistent point of view

d)

Use a common unit of measure

4.

Identify which among principle of Engineering Economics it is:

The prospective outcomes of the alternatives, economic and other, should be consistently developed from a defined viewpoint(perspective).

a)

Develop Alternatives

b)

Focus on differences

c)

Use a consistent point of view

d)

Use a common unit of measure

5.

Identify which among principle of Engineering Economics it is:

Selection of a preferred alternative (decision making) requires the use of a criterion (or several criteria). The decision process should consider both the outcomes enumerated in the monetary unit and those expressed in some other unit of measurement or made explicit in a descriptive manner.

a)

Use a common unit of measure

b)

Consider all relevant idea

c)

Make Risk and Uncertainty Explicit

d)

Revisit Decisions

6.

Identify which among principle of Engineering Economics it is:

Improved decision making results from an adaptive process; to the extent practicable, the initial projected outcomes of the selected alternative should be subsequently compared with actual results achieved.

a)

Use common unit of measure

b)

Consider all relevant idea

c)

Make Risk and Uncertainty Explicit

d)

Revisit your decisions
