Project Management And Engineering Economic

We are very glad to present you the book on 'Project Management and Engineering Economics' which is strictly written as per the New Revised Syllabus of Savitribai Phule Pune University for the Students of Third Year Degree Course in Civil Engineering (2012) Pattern. With the tremendous growth of construction sector, more and more manpower is required in all branches of Civil Engineering. Truly speaking, large population is a boon to India and not a curse. But one has to remember that we have to take efforts to mould technicians and engineers according to our requirement. More and more practical expertise should be provided to aspiring engineers so that they can stand in large competitions. Management has become a key word which controls the cost, time and monitors quality. With the uniqueness of construction field, study of Project Management and related techniques are very important to Civil Engineers.

At the same time, basics of Economics are very important to learn. This will help the students to understand how the money flows, what are the effects of one organisation on other, what are the relations between crude oil process and value of rupee, what is balance sheet, what is working capital, what is depreciation, what is annuity, etc. Economics is a branch of science which is very much attached to our day to life. It is a very interesting subject and we appreciate University of Pune to include it alongwith Project Management.
