Accounting Basics
When are Accounting Basics Covered?
Accounting Basics are introduced in ENGR112 during
Class 20.2*
Accounting for linear momentum, angular momentum,
mass, energy and charge are explained further in ENGR112 in Classes
22.1, 23.2, 24.2, 27.1, 28.1, and 28.2*.

Why are Accounting Basics Important?
Almost every engineering problem requires a systematic
tabulation of materials, time, money, or other identifiable quantities.
Engineers use many accounting techniques in their
solutions
Keeping track of various engineering quantities
leads to a better understanding of an engineering process and more
accurate results.
