Systems Engineering: Design Principles and Models, Second Edition
暫譯: 系統工程：設計原則與模型（第二版）

This textbook continues to fill the need for a systems engineering design textbook specifically written for students from a large variety of backgrounds--engineering, human factors, psychology, and physiology fields. These students need to learn about systems engineering, without it being too technical or at too much of a higher conceptual level for them. This new edition continues to give students exposure to the systems and systems engineering concepts they need and offers just enough technical expertise to use and apply what they've learned.

Systems Engineering: Design Principles and Models, Second Edition, is completely updated and offers an overview of systems concepts, with emphasis on the system life cycle. It provides a comprehensive overview of systems design processes and all activities involved, along with a review of systems analysis and modeling tools and techniques used. The updated textbook includes exercises and examples/case studies to illustrate real-world applications after each chapter. Emphasis is placed on the human element in systems design.

This book is specifically written as a textbook for undergraduate, first-year graduate students, and those who have little or no engineering background. It enables them to learn about systems engineering and is a great book for those who will get involved in systems engineering and design and need to work with engineers in various fields including project managers, human factors engineers, aerospace and aviation professionals, usability engineers mechanical and electrical engineers, software engineers, and human factors professionals. This book can also be used as an introduction to systems engineering for professionals.

PowerPoint slides, along with a solutions manual, are available for all qualified textbook adoptions.
