Description
Book SynopsisAs its name implies, the aim of Systems Design and Engineering: Facilitating Multidisciplinary Development Projects is to help systems engineers develop the skills and thought processes needed to successfully develop and implement engineered systems. Such expertise typically does not come through study but from action, hard work, and cooperation. To that end, the authors have chosen a hands-on approach for presenting material rather than concentrating on theory, as so often is the case in a classroom setting.
This attractive and accessible text is a mix of theory and practical approach, illustrated with examples that have enough richness and variability to hold your attention. Models are presented for controlling the design, change, and engineering processes. Various aspects of systems engineering and methods providing the big picture at system level are discussed. In some ways, you can think of the book as a compact starter's kit for systems engineers.
Trade Review"The book is a beautiful mix of theory and practical approach, illustrated with adequate examples to illustrate systems engineering (SE) and keep the reader attracted/interested throughout the reading experience. Various aspects of SE and methods providing the big picture at system level are discussed. In particular, professionals are invited to contact the authors to help in developing and maturing the SE field."
