Abstract: | In 1970, Dr. Gerals Smith, Professor of Industrial Engineering at Iowa State University, began compiling abstracts of journal articles related to engineering economy. This tedious job continued through 1992 much as it had for the preceding 22 years, involving countless hours which resulted in abstracts that at best, had already been in print for one year. However, with the advent of computer technology this task has changed dramatically, resulting in improvements in efficiency, breadth, relevance and timeliness. |
