Action Items / Next Steps

  • Review foundational slide decks before advanced worth and ROR sessions.
  • Study macro and micro concepts first, then engineering economy topics.
  • Focus on extended topics like demand forecasting and ROR analyses.
  • Align lecture notes with slide modification dates for consistency.
