About this book

If you're new to systems engineering, or simply want to broaden your view of the field, here's an excellent resource that gives you a sound understanding of systems engineering principles and practical guidance in doing the job. You get a step-by-step approach to a systems engineering assignment and a thoroughly explained set of dimensions to a system that enables you to start new projects with speed and confidence. The book also identifies profitable interactions amongst systems engineers and development engineers, management, and customers. Well-illustrated chapters cover everything from describing systems engineering activities, defining system objectives and measures, and proposing system concepts to selecting technology, evaluating systems engineering steps, and analyzing evaluations. Examples drawn from the author 's extensive professional experience support each discussion and offer a unique point of view you won't find in any other book. Eleven detailed appendices, with 700 equations, prescribe innovative systems-level designs and specify the advantages and limitations of common evaluation techniques.
