Name of Lecturer(s) : Instructor İRFAN MACİT

Learning Outcomes of the Course : Gains the basic knowledge of economics subjects such as Supply-Demand, Price elasticity and marginal utility.
Gains knowledge on the analysis of cash flow.
Learns about the economic behavior of mathematical models.
Learns to manage a project relating to the concepts of engineering economics.

Mode of Delivery : Face-to-Face

Prerequisites and Co-Prerequisites : None

Recommended Optional Programme Components : None

Aim(s) of Course : This course provides students with details in industrial engineering in addition to their courses at undergraduate level through high level of engineering economy subjects and engineering economics. Information from the engineering economy at the undergraduate level is moved to the next level. A project selected by the student at the begining of the course is examined at each stage until the final phase and it is turned into an engineering economy project.

Course Contents : Course content analysis, methods of engineering economics, Break-even point analysis, engineering economy, optimization, cost concepts and analysis of economic behavior, and the analysis of their impact on project cash flows, valuation methods andeconomic behavior and risk management in choosing the location of organization.

Language of Instruction : Turkish

Work Place : Classroom
