The abilities to utilize financial indicators to develop the future business of a company and to determine its financial soundness are now considered essential for engineers. However, in science and engineering-related university education, students are still given little or no opportunity to learn the basics of accounting within the context of corporate management. In this study, we present the contents of a lecture entitled “Accounting for Planners,” which the authors have delivered in the Department of Town Planning and Design and the Department of Transportation Systems Engineering at the College of Science and Technology, Nihon University.
