 Engineering Economic Analysis

5 Hours | Only $249.75
You know time is money – but do you know how much time is how much money, and why? This 5-hour interactive online course reviews engineering economy analysis concepts. The more common analysis factors in economic analysis are explored, along with discrete compounding and continuous compounding factors. Methods for converting values (such as future values to present values) are shown, along with their complementary equations. Several analysis methods are reviewed, and the effects of taxes and depreciation effects are explained and shown in examples. Engage those big brains!

Excel for Engineers and Scientists: Calculations

4 Hours | Only $155.80
Engineering and science require imagination, insight, reasoning, and calculation. These factors mutually reinforce each other, so if you can get help with one of them you have more than a 25 percent advantage at the start. This 4-hour interactive online course will help you with the easiest one: calculation. Calculation is easier than imagination, insight, and reasoning, but it is not always easy and can be tedious. This “how to” course will give you some of the survival skills you need to get you through. The other three are up to you!
