Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
Any engineering project must be not only physically realizable but also economically affordable. Understanding and applying cost principles to engineering have never been more important. Beyond function and performance, solutions must also be viable economically. Design decisions affect limited resources such as time, material, labor, capital, and natural resources, not only initially (during conceptual design) but also through the remaining phases of the life cycle (e.g., detailed design, manufacture and distribution, service, retirement and disposal) This training course is designed to help participants gain valuable insights and skills needed to estimate costs accurately.
