Books in the Systems Engineering series

Explains how to create a system from scratch, presenting invention/design rules together with explanations of how to use them. This book supplies practical guidelines for avoiding common systematic failures while implementing fresh mandates.

Presents important tools of linear systems theory, including differential and difference equations, Laplace and Z transforms. This book discusses nonlinear and linear systems in the state space from and through the transfer function method; and stability, including marginal stability, asymptotical stability and global asymptotical stability.

Shows systems and industrial engineers how to make systems development work for their organizations. This book discusses the optimum marriage between specific program planning and a company's generic identity.

Engineering Modeling and Design is a comprehensive systems engineering text that focuses on systematic principles for designing systems.

Explains the fundamental theories behind model-based systems and the considerations involved in applying theory to the design of real systems. This book presents terms used in systems engineering and introduces the discrete system and its components. It is suitable for engineering students, engineers and scientists.

Offers an understanding and familiarity with the systems engineering process, its application, and its value to the successful implementation of systems development projects. This book discusses coordination and management of various aspects of systems engineering.

Tackles a difficult dilemma: how do respected organizations maintain their vaunted excellence, accommodate the new world of global communications, transportation, economics and multinational security, and still survive against stiff competition? This book identifies potential weaknesses and offers guidelines and insights to address them.

Presents the systems approach to complex problem solving and provides a powerful base for both product and process integration. This book describes 27 kinds of integration work, primarily obtained through human communications.

Engineering Modeling and Design is a comprehensive systems engineering text that focuses on systematic principles for designing systems. Concurrent engineering, which requires that from the very start of a project all players (e.g., engineering, maintenance, marketing, customers) are involved as all facets of the system life cycle are considered, is skillfully illustrated through the use of two major case studies. The text describes how a product design proceeds parallel to the process design, explains key duties of systems engineers throughout the product life cycle, and examines the process of system design in terms of life cycle requirements. Projects and problems are presented throughout the text. A homework solutions/instructor''s manual is available from the publisher upon request.Engineering Modeling and Design is an excellent text for engineering design courses in industry and upper division courses on concurrent engineering or total quality management.
