Book excerpt: Presents the origins and evolution of the systems engineeringdiscipline and helps readers gain a personal familiarity withsystems engineering experts: their experience, opinions andattitudes in this field This book is based on a qualitative study that includes dozensof in-depth interviews with experts in the systems engineeringfield. This book is broken into three main parts. The first part isa general overview of the systems engineering field. The secondpart discusses the changes the systems engineering discipline hasundergone with the analysis as case studies of two significantIsraeli defence systems projects: the IAI Lavi project and the IronDome project. The third part of this book contains interviews with renownedexperts in the systems engineering field. This part is divided intofive sections: systems engineering as the answer to the challengesof a complex technological world – the aerospace industries;the development of systems engineering in the commercial andindustrial worlds, and in complex civil systems; the impact of theaccelerated development of the computing world on systemsengineering processes; systems engineering and the academic world;and systems engineering in the world of training and consulting. This book presents the main insights derived from the interviews,and an analysis and discussion of the question of the relevance ofsystems engineering to the management world.

Book excerpt: An overview of engineering systems that describes the new challenges posed for twenty-first-century engineers by today's highly complex sociotechnical systems. Engineering, for much of the twentieth century, was mainly about artifacts and inventions. Now, it's increasingly about complex systems. As the airplane taxis to the gate, you access the Internet and check email with your PDA, linking the communication and transportation systems. At home, you recharge your plug-in hybrid vehicle, linking transportation to the electricity grid. Today's large-scale, highly complex sociotechnical systems converge, interact, and depend on each other in ways engineers of old could barely have imagined. As scale, scope, and complexity increase, engineers consider technical and social issues together in a highly integrated way as they design flexible, adaptable, robust systems that can be easily modified and reconfigured to satisfy changing requirements and new technological opportunities. Engineering Systems offers a comprehensive examination of such systems and the associated emerging field of study. Through scholarly discussion, concrete examples, and history, the authors consider the engineer's changing role, new ways to model and analyze these systems, the impacts on engineering education, and the future challenges of meeting human needs through the technologically enabled systems of today and tomorrow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation The authors, who both teach electrical engineering at the U. of New South Wales, Australia, have written a text that will be useful for the undergraduate and graduate classroom. The philosophical aspects of the field are provided as an overview, with descriptions of procedures, vocabulary, and standards. Systems engineering is then described, with sections on all stages of design, systems engineering management, tools, and applications. A chapter is included on the interrelationship between systems engineering and fields such as project management, quality management, and integrated logistics support management.

Book excerpt: This book will change the way you think about problems. It focuses on creating solutions to all sorts of complex problems by taking a practical, problem-solving approach. It discusses not only what needs to be done, but it also provides guidance and examples of how to do it. The book applies systems thinking to systems engineering and introduces several innovative concepts such as direct and indirect stakeholders and the Nine-System Model, which provides the context for the activities performed in the project, along with a framework for successful stakeholder management. A list of the figures and tables in this book is available at https://www.crcpress.com/9781138387935. FEATURES • Treats systems engineering as a problem-solving methodology • Describes what tools systems engineers use and how they use them in each state of the system lifecycle • Discusses the perennial problem of poor requirements, defines the grammar and structure of a requirement, and provides a template for a good imperative construction statement and the requirements for writing requirements • Provides examples of bad and questionable requirements and explains the reasons why they are bad and questionable • Introduces new concepts such as direct and indirect stakeholders and the Shmemp! • Includes the Nine-System Model and other unique tools for systems engineering
