Introduction to Economics Aerospace 2024

What an aerospace engineer does is to optimize the available scarce resources for finding solutions of the problems in the economy and society. Engineers use their knowledge of science, mathematics, logic, economics, and appropriate experience or tacit knowledge to find suitable solutions to a problem. Knowledge of economic principles helps aerospace engineers navigate the complexities of the aerospace industry, such as market demand, competition, and regulatory environments. This understanding fosters better decision-making and strategic planning, ultimately leading to more innovative and financially viable aerospace technologies and systems.

This course is designed to introduce non-specialist students to some of the central principles of economics. The idea is that economic principles can be more readily understood if they are linked to concrete and familiar issues.
