Systems Engineering Demystified, Second Edition: Apply modern, model-based systems engineering techniques to build complex systems
Learn to identify problems when developing complex systems and design effective solutions using a model-based system engineering approach
Key FeaturesImplement model-based systems engineering, including visualization, verification, and validation processesExplore the complexity of a system and learn how it can be commissioned as an effective resourceFilled with comprehensive explanations, practical examples and self assessment testsBook DescriptionSystems 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.What you will learnStudy the three evils of systems complexity, ambiguous communication, lack of understandingLearn how to deploy MBSE using the Trinity approachReceive invaluable information about the philosophy of modeling from a seasoned professionalUnderstand the MBSE life cycle and how design, verification, and validation fit into itExplore processes and concepts such as activities, stakeholders, and resourcesDiscover how needs fit into the life cycle and how to comply with relevant processesGain a deeper understanding of how to model effectively and efficientlyWho this book is forThis 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 MBSE. 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.

This book provides a great overview of the abstract systems engineering concepts.
This would be a great first read for anyone wanting to dive into the techniques in ISO 15288 System Lifecycle Processes and ISO 42010 Architecture Description, or someone wanting to start exploring Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and SysML, or become a systems architect. It's easy to read, and full of content and diagrams, and a bit of humor and character. I'm not sure how it compares to the 1st edition though, and not sure if it'll need another revision after the migration to SysML v2.
Read if you want a good firm foundation into the discipline, and a good systems engineering understanding on which to build more detailed domain-specific systems engineering concepts for understanding and developing great products and services.

This book provides a baseline for everyone interested in Systems Engineering. As a professional in the Defence & Aerospace domain, and based on my own efforts to write various work related instructions regarding Systems Engineering- I can acknowledge the quality of this book from the chapter overview. This book explains the things I need to understand - in particular Model Based Systems Engineering and Processes- in a way that I can translate and put into practice directly. I have currently put 10 years into understanding Systems Engineering - and to a large extent - you are on your own trying to figure out the disrepancy between theory and practice. It will build knowledge by effort and time- but this book will help you fast foward that journey.
