Engineers form the interface between socity needs and scientific discoveries, they transfer natural and environmental resources into useful products that increase people welfare, and this is done by engineering projects. In Syrian and international universities, enginineering students learn engineering economic analysis, which covers the basic principles and concepts of engineering economic analysis of projects and alternatives. This paper presents a proposed methodology to use engineering economic analysis to evaluate the effect of engineering project on sustainability.
