Book Description

Systems engineering and related courses for senior-level undergraduate students as well as first- and second-year graduate students. A complete life-cycle approach to systems and their analysis is provided by Systems Engineering and Analysis, 5/e.

The concepts, approaches, models, and tools required to comprehend and put into practice a comprehensive life-cycle approach to systems and their analysis are provided in this useful introduction to systems engineering and analysis. The authors first concentrate on the creation of systems, starting with the identification of a need and continuing through the determination of requirements, functional analysis and allocation, design synthesis, evaluation, and validation, operation and support, phase-out, and disposal of the system. The authors then go on to describe how existing systems can be improved, demonstrating how most systems can be made more accessible, effective, and stakeholder-friendly by using an iterative process of analysis, evaluation, feedback, and adjustment.
