Get to grips with systems engineering life cycles, processes, and best practices and discover techniques to successfully develop complex systems Key Features 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 Book DescriptionSystems engineering helps us to understand, specify, and develop complex systems, and is applied across a wide set of disciplines. As systems and their associated problems become increasingly complex in this evermore connected world, the need for more rigorous, demonstrable, and repeatable techniques also increases. Written by Professor Jon Holt – an internationally recognized systems engineering expert – this book provides a blend of technical and business aspects you need to understand in order to develop successful systems. You'll start with systems engineering basics and understand the complexity, communication, and different stakeholders' views of the system. The book then covers essential aspects of model-based systems engineering, systems, life cycles, and processes, along with techniques to develop systems. Moving on, you'll explore system models and visualization techniques, focusing on the SysML, and discover how solutions can be defined by developing effective system design, verification, and validation techniques. The book concludes by taking you through key management processes and systems engineering best practices and guidelines. 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 learn 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 Who this book is for 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.

Learn to identify problems when developing complex systems and design effective solutions using a model based system engineering approach. Key Features Implementation of model-based system engineering, including visualization, verification, and validation processes Details regarding the complexity of a system and how it can be commissioned as an effective resource Filled with comprehensive explanations, practical examples and self assessment tests Book Description Systems engineering helps in developing and describing complex systems. Written by an internationally-recognized systems engineering expert, this updated edition provides insight into elements to consider when designing a complex system that is robust and successful. The latest edition covers the new approaches of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and its deployment techniques using the Trinity approach. You will learn about the system engineering life cycle and processes to implement. Effective systems can be built only when the system is designed with close attention to detail, meaning each aspect of the system is recognized and understood before the system is built. The book explains in great detail, different system models and visualization techniques, with a focus on SysML, to help you visualize a system in the design phase. You will also learn various verification and validation techniques to ensure your system design is ready to be implemented. The book ends with key management processes, systems engineering best practices, and guidelines, with a new section on effective approaches based on the author's impressive 30 years of experience in the field. By the end of this systems engineering book, you'll be able to apply modern model-based systems engineering techniques to your own systems and projects.
