5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding text on systems engineering, Aug 31 2008

By Greg "GL" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Managing Complex Technical Projects: A Systems Engineering Approach (Hardcover)

This is the text used by the University of New South Wales to teach Systems Engineering. It is a practical text and a very useful reference book. For anyone involved with systems engineering, project management of technical projects, or government procurement activity of technical goods or services - this is a must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Systems Engineering - A Good Introduction, Sep 14 2008

By Rafael C. Azevedo "PMP Project Manager, MSc. ... - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Managing Complex Technical Projects: A Systems Engineering Approach (Hardcover)

Good introductory book on Systems Engineering, covering most important subjects (Introduction to Sys. Eng., Conceptual, Preliminary and Detailed Design and Development, and a nice chapter on Engineering Management).

In some figures it presents a process for engineering a system, along with explanation and examples. I enjoyed A LOT this approach.

Presents information on standards (MIL-STD-499B, IEEE-1220, EIA-632) and a brief overview of SEI's Capability Maturity Model for Systems Engineering (CMM-SE).

What I liked is that it is "straight to the point" and an easy to read book.

Downside: it has no exercises at the end of each chapter.

I recommend it for both students and practitioners.

Hope this helps!
