Systems Engineering Demystified: A practitioner's handbook for developing complex systems using a model-based approach

• Discover how to manage increased complexity and understand systems better via effective communication
• Adopt a proven model-based approach for systems engineering in your organization
• Apply proven techniques for requirements, design, validation and verification, and systems engineering management

• Understand the three evils of systems engineering - complexity, ambiguous communication, and lack of understanding
• Realize successful systems using model-based systems engineering
• Understand the concept of life cycles and how they control the evolution of a system
• Explore processes and related concepts such as activities, stakeholders, and resources
• Discover how needs fit into the systems life cycle and which processes are relevant and how to comply with them
• Find out how design, verification, and validation fit into the life cycle and processes

This 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.
