New to the Thirteenth Edition:
  • Case studies with end-of-chapter questions that encourage writing and critical thinking.
  • Fundamentals of Engineering Exam multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter.
  • Spreadsheets integrated throughout the text. In particular, many examples include solutions, both hand worked and with spreadsheets, so students can see both techniques side by side. New end-of-chapter spreadsheet problems are included, as well as spreadsheet templates on the student CAD.
  • Brief basic review of simple accounting principles.
  • Increased emphasis on cost estimating.
  • Expanded treatment given to the economic aspects of engineering design.

The spreadsheet examples that accompany each chapter, Appendix A: "Using Excel to Solve Engineering Economy Problems," the Spreadsheet Modeling supplement, and the Expanded Example supplements that appear on the Student CD have been provided by James Alloway. Dr. Alloway has been developing and using spreadsheets since the early 1980s to solve problems and enhance learning in industry, academia, end in his consulting practice. His affiliation with this text began in 1993.
