Course Objective

In addition to the fact that Civil Engineers technically analyze many events throughout their careers, almost all of the decisions they make have a financial dimension. In this course, it is aimed to teach our students the basic principles of systematically evaluating the benefits and costs that will occur in the production of goods and services, value-time relationships and optimization techniques.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Basic steps of economic analysis for engineering systems
2   Essential parameters for economic analysis
3   Planning management and programing
4   Optimisation techniques
5   Decision under uncertainty
