The Engineering Design of Systems: Models and Methods

by Dennis M. Buede

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.

[John Andrews]

Good concepts, laborious presentation. Very wordy, only showing model diagrams where he didn't need to and skipping over ones that really could have used it. Editing was not good; very frequent typos, which at times made the content virtually impossible to understand.

This book is quite laborious. I do think the information contained is helpful in learning how to model effectively for scope work, but the book could have easily been cut in half. I appreciated the examples as a visual learner and their ties to SySML.

A nice book, but needs a clear mind and concentration to be able to benefit of its comprehensive information
