Canadian engineers have a unique set of circumstances that warrant a text with a specific Canadian focus. Canadian firms make decisions according to norms and standards that reflect Canadian views on social responsibility, environmental concerns, and cultural diversity. This perspective is reflected in the content and tone of much of the material in this book. Furthermore, Canadian tax regulations are complicated and directly affect engineering economic analysis.
This book also relates to students' everyday lives. In addition to examples and problems with an engineering focus, there are a number of scenarios involving decisions that many students might face, such as renting an apartment, getting a job, or buying a car. Other references in the text are adapted from familiar sources such as Canadian newspapers and well-known Canadian companies.
