I consider this book to be very good for real dummies of Engineering, like 1st and 2nd year students of Engineering, but not so much for the rest of people: I am in my fourth year of Software Engineering and I have studied what this book teaches intensively and in much more detail.

Even so, it is useful to listen over and over things like the importance of good requirements, testing and change during the development. Plus that, the author makes the topic really interesting (or maybe it's me who is really interested in it) and she makes you want to start doing some Systems Engineering. The examples that she uses are also very entertaining and useful.

I think the most important benefits that I got from this book are the following: that it gave me a broader perspective of Systems Engineering and that it convinced me of the importance of it. Software integration in larger systems like cars or planes or houses won't stop growing in importance and size in the following years, and this is certainly something that I want to take advantage of.

The book is short and very well structured, which, combined with the interesting topic of Systems Engineering, makes this a very easy but useful read.

I read a report by the Dutch government that gave a much clearer picture of what SE really is and used more concise and clever language.

Кратко, полезно, — все по существу.
Книга хороша как введение в предметную область, хотя в принципе все книги этой серии для этого и предназначены.
