This course describes the economic viability of an engineering project through the application of net present value, internal rate of return, and payback period analysis. The impacts of depreciation, taxes, inflation, and foreign exchange are addressed. The capital budgeting process is discussed, showing how companies make decisions to optimize their investment portfolio. Risk is mitigated through the application of quantitative techniques such as scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis, and real options analysis. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (ME-EM) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The ME-EM is designed to help engineers, scientists, and technical professionals move into leadership and management roles in the engineering and technical sectors. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the ME-EM is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience.

This course gave a very good introduction on how to establish a project cash flow and use common business valuation metrics to evaluate if a project is financially justifiable.
CM

I have learned a lot of new things and it was a very refreshing course to look back at the things that were studied during my MBA course.I must say that every engineer must have this course.I do look forward to pursue my doctorate under the supervision of the course instructor.It was an exceellent experience.
Great learning with practical step by step approach
Very useful course for Technical Managers
Prof. Readey explains the key concepts with real examples that build on each other. The modules are well structured and provide the building blocks for the financial analysis. This course brought to life the ideas of Depreciation, Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Inventory costs. The assessments at the end of each module and final assignment for this course helped reinforce the fundamentals.
Loved the course. It was a refresher in a lot of ways . I had problems with spreadsheets as I did not have excel and tried google docs. That was a challenge as I had all my worksheets on a quad and margin exercise book resulting in margins of error . A tutorial on how numbers should be populated on google docs would be a great help..
