Systems Engineering Principles and Practice

By Alexander Kossiakoff

Book Overview

A comprehensive and interdisciplinary guide to systems engineering

Systems Engineering: Principles and Practice, 3rd Edition is the leading interdisciplinary reference for systems engineers. The up-to-date third edition provides readers with discussions of model-based systems engineering, requirements analysis, engineering design, and software design. Freshly updated governmental and commercial standards, architectures, and processes are covered in-depth. The book includes newly updated topics on:

Risk Prototyping Modeling and simulation Software/computer systems engineering

Examples and exercises appear throughout the text, allowing the reader to gauge their level of retention and learning. Systems Engineering: Principles and Practice was and remains the standard textbook used worldwide for the study of traditional systems engineering. The material is organized in a manner that allows for quick absorption of industry best practices and methods.

Systems Engineering Principles and Practice continues to be 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 organized in a way that teaches the reader how to think like a systems engineer and carry out best practices in the field.

Customer Reviews

Excellent introductory text

I am presently using this text in an introductory (graduate level) course in systems engineering. I have been a practicing systems engineer for over 15 years, and I still find this text useful as a reference. I highly recommend this book both as a beginning graduate level text and a practical reference for the working systems engineering professional.

Great book on Systems Engineering

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.

Excellent resource!

This book is a great text for those interested in learning or expanding your knowledge of systems engineering. Well presented with sound explanations on the concepts. My company has multiple copies in use. Highly recommended.

Excellent SE text and reference

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.
