Engineering Money is an excellent book for an undergraduate course dealing with return on investment issues for any contracted project, but particularly for engineering projects. The one-liner summary items would provide excellent starting points for a spirited class discussion. Highly recommended. Lower-and-upper division undergraduates. (Choice , 1 April 2011)
