Publisher's Synopsis
In the past, engineers have concerned themselves primarily with the design and construction of a project. Now, however, they are being required to play a role in planning and financing projects, and project appraisal is now a compulsory subject on all engineering courses.
This textbook provides an introduction to the full range of evaluation techniques required for the assessment of an engineering project. These include economic techniques as well as those used to evaluate projects in environmental terms. Risk analysis and quality systems also covered.
