By the end of this systems engineering book, you'll be able to confidently apply modern model-based systems engineering techniques to your own systems and projects.What you will learnUnderstand the three evils of systems engineering - complexity, ambiguous communication, and lack of understandingRealize successful systems using model-based systems engineeringUnderstand the concept of life cycles and how they control the evolution of a systemExplore processes and related concepts such as activities, stakeholders, and resourcesDiscover how needs fit into the systems life cycle and which processes are relevant and how to comply with themFind out how design, verification, and validation fit into the life cycle and processesWho this book is forThis book is for aspiring systems engineers, engineering managers, or anyone looking to apply systems engineering practices to their systems and projects.While a well-structured, model-based approach to systems engineering is an essential skill for engineers of all disciplines, many companies are finding that new graduates have little understanding of systems engineering.This book helps you acquire this skill with the help of a simple and practical approach to developing successful systems.No prior knowledge of systems engineering or modeling is required to get started with this book.
