Systems engineering is the design of a complex interconnection of many elements to maximize performance. As such, the science relates to all fields of engineering. While systems engineering has always played an important role in industrial and military applications, advances in communications and computer technology have made this discipline especially relevant. This book introduces design methods and models used by systems engineers in the real world. It offer a comprehensive, integrated treatment that includes modeling, underlying design principles, and the process of optimization for peak performance.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Valuable systems engineering text,
By bwilmer "bwilmer" (Arlington, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Engineering Design of Systems: Models and Methods (Wiley Series in Systems Engineering and Management) (Hardcover)
This book addresses systems engineering tools and methods needed for building complex systems. Our systems have gotten much more complex, more inter-coupled than they were decades ago --think of the recent (Summer '03) East Coast power failure. Systems Engineering tools, techniques, and education must progress to address the new complexity. This is why Buede's book is invaluable. He has digested much of the current state of thinking regarding systems engineering practices and concepts, and made them available. This book reflects where systems engineering is going. It is written for practicing systems engineers who deal with complex systems, and for students who have someone leading them through the subject. Persons who engineer complex systems will find this book valuable.

Provides a good basis for reviewing design methods,

This review is from: The Engineering Design of Systems: Models and Methods (Wiley Series in Systems Engineering and Management) (Hardcover)
This text provides an excellent reference text in the hands of a seasoned systems engineer. The generation of system functional flow diagrams and cost performance trade analysis is covered in detail. However, I found no correlation with set theory in chapter 4 with systems engineering design process. In my review of the text, I have found most components of the engineering process identified and covered in various amounts of detail. This text does not stand on it's own with respect to covering all aspects of the engineering design process. But then, neither do other texts I have reviewed.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best book on the subject,
By giniajim (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Engineering Design of Systems: Models and Methods (Wiley Series in Systems Engineering and Management) (Hardcover)
The subject of system engineering has many facets and paths to reach an implemented 'system'. This book covers the subject thoroughly and is supplemented with student problems. This book will give anyone a firm grounding in the formal approaches to the subject and a basis for moving into system engineering practice. Highly recommended.
