Description

Praise for the first edition:

"This excellent text will be useful to every system engineer (SE) regardless of the domain. It covers ALL relevant SE material and does so in a very clear, methodical fashion. The breadth and depth of the author's presentation of SE principles and practices is outstanding."
—Philip Allen

This textbook presents a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to System Engineering analysis, design, and development via an integrated set of concepts, principles, practices, and methodologies. The methods presented in this text apply to any type of human system -- small, medium, and large organizational systems and system development projects delivering engineered systems or services across multiple business sectors such as medical, transportation, financial, educational, governmental, aerospace and defense, utilities, political, and charity, among others.

  • Provides a common focal point for “bridging the gap” between and unifying System Users, System Acquirers, multi-discipline System Engineering, and Project, Functional, and Executive Management education, knowledge, and decision-making for developing systems, products, or services
  • Each chapter provides definitions of key terms, guiding principles, examples, author’s notes, real-world examples, and exercises, which highlight and reinforce key SE&D concepts and practices
  • Addresses concepts employed in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Model-Driven Design (MDD), Unified Modeling Language (UMLTM) / Systems Modeling Language (SysMLTM), and Agile/Spiral/V-Model Development such as user needs, stories, and use cases analysis; specification development; system architecture development; User-Centric System Design (UCSD); interface definition & control; system integration & test; and Verification & Validation (V&V)
  • Highlights/introduces a new 21st Century Systems Engineering & Development (SE&D) paradigm that is easy to understand and implement.
  • Provides practices that are critical staging points for technical decision making such as Technical Strategy Development; Life Cycle requirements; Phases, Modes, & States; SE Process; Requirements Derivation; System Architecture Development, User-Centric System Design (UCSD); Engineering Standards, Coordinate Systems, and Conventions; et al.

Thoroughly illustrated, with end-of-chapter exercises and numerous case studies and examples, Systems Engineering Analysis, Design, and Development, Second Edition is a primary textbook for multi-discipline, engineering, system analysis, and project management undergraduate/graduate level students and a valuable reference for professionals.

Praise for the first edition "This excellent text will be useful to every system engineer (SE) regardless of the domain. It covers ALL relevant SE material and does so in a very clear, methodical fashion. The breadth and depth of the author's presentation of SE principles and practices is outstanding." -Philip Allen This textbook presents a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to System Engineering analysis, design, and development via an integrated set of concepts, principles, practices, and methodologies. The methods presented in this text apply to any type of human system - small, medium, and large Enterprise System development projects delivering Engineered Systems or services across multiple business sectors such as medical, energy, telecommunications, aerospace and defense, automotive, transportation, governmental, political, and charity, among others. The objective of this book is to enable systems engineers, engineers, system analysts, project managers, and others to understand how Systems Engineering and Development (SE&D) are performed to improve their productivity and competitiveness in the marketplace. There is a solid examination of SE&D concepts, principles, processes, and practices used to evolve a System User's abstract operational need into a physical, field-operable system or product. Topical discussions are supported by practical examples, observations, mini-case studies, lessons learned, and real-life events that illustrate how system engineering impacts technical and programmaticdecision-making and the Enterprise bottom line. Highlights/introduces a new Twenty-First Century multi-discipline Systems Engineering & Development (SE&D) paradigm that is easy to understand and implement. Provides a common focal point for "bridging the gap" between and unifying System Users, System Acquirers, multidiscipline System Engineering, and Project, Functional, and Executive Management education, knowledge, and decision making for developing systems, products, or services. Each chapter provides definitions of key terms, guiding principles, examples, author's notes, real-world examples, and exercises, which highlight and reinforce key SE&D concepts and practices. Addresses concepts employed in multi-discipline SE&D such as Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Unified Modeling Language (UMLTM)/Systems Modeling Language (SysMLTM), and Agile/Spiral/V-Model Development. Concepts include: Stakeholder Identification, Needs, User Stories, and Use Cases; System Life Cycle; Mission Analysis; ConOps Development; System Architecture Frameworks; System Phases, Modes and States; and Behavioral Modeling. Provides practices that are critical staging area for technical decision making such as Technical Strategy Development; SE Process; Specification Development; Requirements Derivation, Allocation, Flow Down, and Traceability; System Architecture Development, User-Centric System Design (UCSD); Engineering Standards, Coordinate Systems, and Conventions; Interface Definition & Control; Reliability, Maintainability, and Availability (RMA); System Integration & Test; and Verification & Validation (V&V). Thoroughly illustrated with graphics, end-of-chapter exercises, mini-case studies and examples, Systems Engineering Analysis, Design, and Development: Concepts, Principles, and Practices, Second Edition is a valuable textbook for undergraduate/graduate level students and practitioners of multi-disciplined Systems Engineering.
