Engineering Economics - Poem

Engineers design engines
Engineers produce engines
Engineers maintain engines
Engineers redesign engines
Engines work
Engineers make buck
Engines sell in millions
Engineers make billions
To sell in millions
Engineers use economics
Demand curves give price
Engineers keep it in eyes
Engineers strain
stretch their brain
mix and fix
materials and processes
They achieve the cost
that gives them most
profit at last
and makes them best
Technology makes one good engineer
Economy makes him rich engineer
