Product Description
Review
"Aimed at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, this textbook is intended as an introduction to the developmetn and acquisition of complex technical systems ... The second edition is intended to offer expansion, integration and clarification to maintain relevance and currency." (Times Higher Education Supplement {Texbook Guide}, 3 November 2011)
"The book is very readable and gives a particularly good grounding in the subject of systems engineering. It is therefore a valuable volume for any electronics engineering student, practising engineer, or as a reference for a company designing any form of equipment needing a systems engineering approach." (Radio–electronics.com, 1 October 2011)
Product Description
Systems Engineering Principles and Practice is a national standard textbook for the study of traditional systems engineering for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. It addresses the need for an introductory overview, first–text for the development and acquisition of complex technical systems. The material is well organized, readable and fundamental to learning how to think like a systems engineer and carry out best practices in the field. Since systems engineering is still developing as a discipline, there have been new concepts and practices that have entered the field since the text was published in 2003. As an increasing number of students have used the text, topics have been discovered that would benefit from expansion, integration and clarification.
The proposed second edition will be developed by colleagues of the original authors to upgrade this unique interdisciplinary guide to systems engineering to maintain relevance and currency in this rapidly changing and demanding field.

Excellent SE text and reference
12 May 2005
Format:Hardcover
I have just completed the JHU program in Systems Engineering. This book is the foundation for the curriculum and is a very readable, solid overview of Systems Engineering. All phases of the system life-cycle are introduced and tied together to truly illustrate the process. The book focuses on processes, the tools used will change, but good Systems Engineering will stay the same. The process to derive good requirements that are able to be implemented and tested are the same regardless of technology or field.

Useful, but not great
18 Jun 2011
Format:Hardcover
I've been practicing elements of systems engineering for several years and I was seeking a book that would help me pull it all together. This book definitely attempts to do that, but I found it less satisfying than I had hoped. The book does contain a good overview of systems engineering and touches on most if not all the concepts. As another reviewer indicated, the topic coverage is rather inconsistent. Some topics are covered with a great deal of rather wordy text and some, which are of in my view of equal importance, are skimmed over so briefly it feels like the authors felt compelled to mention them but did so in such a superficial way as to not really add much value, e.g. modeling techniques and methods. On the positive side, the explanations of the concept development process phases and principles were some of the best I have encountered. I have referred back to them on several occasions. In addition, the book was also effective in helping me better understand the role of the systems engineer relative to other engineering and project management disciplines. I often wished the book had contained more straightforward diagrams, but that's really a matter of taste. While I do think this is a useful book, I would recommend trying to get it used or from a library before buying new. Overall, I appreciate the authors writing the book, I just wish they had polished it a bit more.

Great book on Systems Engineering
14 Sep 2008
Format:Hardcover
Excellent book on Systems Engineering covering Development, Post-Development (Production, Operation and Support), Systems Engineering Management, Software Systems Engineering and Decision Tools on the same book.
I believe it is coherent with its goal: "help students learn how to think like systems engineers".
It is easy to read and has exercises at the end of each chapter.
I recommend it for both students and practitioners.
