THE ENGINEERING ECONOMIST: AIMS AND SCOPE OF FOCUSED AREAS

Abstract

ABSTRACT The Engineering Economist is a refereed journal published jointly by the Engineering Economy Division of the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) and the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE). The journal publishes articles, case studies, surveys, book and software reviews, and readers' comments that represent current research, practice, and teaching involving problems of capital investment. The journal seeks submissions in a number of areas, including, but not limited to, capital investment analysis, cost estimation and accounting, cost of capital, design economics, economic decision analysis, education, policy analysis (i.e., governmental), and research and development. As noted in the editorial, we are celebrating the 50th volume of our journal and we are taking this opportunity to reinvigorate our purpose. This is to be facilitated with the designation of area editors assigned to specific submission focus areas. These areas are clearly defined below and the representative area editors are introduced. Their contact information is provided in case prospective authors have questions about potential submissions in prospective areas. However, all submissions should be sent to the editor-in-chief. The focus areas are listed alphabetically, followed by case study and book/software review submission guidelines. Following the definition of the areas are the new electronic submission guidelines for the journal.
