Description
For junior/senior-level courses in Systems Analysis or Systems Analysis and Economics as applied to civil engineering.
Broad and comprehensive in coverage - and student-friendly in approach - this text focuses on the most modern skills available for the design, operation and evaluation of civil and environmental engineering systems - optimization/systems modeling and engineering economics. Exceptionally practical, it features several chapters that present new techniques and methodologies in the context of real-life problem situations.
