Abstract

The purpose of this text book is to arm the student with System Engineering principles, practices, and activities applicable to developing programs and systems within today’s complex, distributed multi-discipline converging enterprise environments. Specifically, the focus is to match the overwhelming design gaps and needs of the current Systems Engineering discipline with foundations of new and relevant procedures, products and implements. Therefore, this introductory text book provides the basis for a modern Multi-disciplinary Systems Engineering approach.
