Preface

Engineering economics is the core course in the economic platform course of engineering management specialty, and also the required course of civil engineering specialty. Engineering economics is a new marginal discipline that carries out technical and economic analysis, calculation, evaluation and comparison of engineering construction projects and it selects the best scheme with advanced technology, reasonable economy, feasible practice, significant economic effect and obvious social benefit, and provides scientific basis for engineering project decision-making.

With the rapid development of China’s economy, the scale of engineering construction is getting larger and larger, and the quality requirements of engineering projects are getting higher and higher. A large number of compound talents who are familiar with both engineering technology and related knowledge and skills such as economy, management and law are needed. Therefore, engineering technology and management personnel must master certain knowledge of engineering economics.

This book tries to be simple and practical in content. It not only combines the knowledge requirements in the professional qualification examination of registered engineers, but also follows the principle of “emphasizing theory and strengthening practice” in the cultivation of undergraduate talents.

This book references and quotes a large number of domestic and foreign experts and scholars’ works, and hereby expresses our respect and heartfelt thanks to them.

Due to the limited academic level and practical experience of the editor, it is inevitable that there are some defects in the book. We would appreciate your criticism and correction.

前 言

工程经济学是工程管理专业经济平台课程中的核心课程，也是土木工程类专业的必修课。工程经济学是对工程建设项目进行技术和经济分析，计算、评价和比较，从中选出技术上先进、经济上合理、实践中可行、经济效果显著、社会效益明显的最优方案，为工程项目决策提供科学依据的一门新兴的边缘学科。

随着我国经济快速发展，工程建设规模越来越大，工程项目质量要求也越来越高，需要一大批既懂工程技术，又熟悉经济、管理、法律等相关知识和技能的复合型人才。因此，工程技术和管理人员必须掌握一定的工程经济学知识。

本书在内容上力求深入浅出，简洁实用，既结合注册工程师执业资格考试中的知识要求，同时也遵循本科人才培养“重理论，强实践”的原则。

本书参考和引用了大量国内外专家、学者的论著，在此向他们表达我们的敬意和衷心的感谢。

由于编者的学术水平和实践经验有限，书中不妥之处在所难免，敬请各位读者批评指正，我们将不胜感激。
