Description

Systems 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.

Who is this book for?

This 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.

What you will learn

Study the three evils of systems engineering: complexity, ambiguous communication, lack of understanding

Learn how to deploy MBSE using the Trinity approach

Receive invaluable information about the philosophy of modeling from a seasoned professional

Understand the MBSE life cycle and how design, verification, and validation fit into it

Explore processes and concepts such as activities, stakeholders, and resources

Discover how needs fit into the life cycle and how to comply with relevant processes

Gain a deeper understanding of how to model effectively and efficiently

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book as it ties several key Systems Engineering concepts together into a unified whole.I appreciated the extra detail on the "3-evils of Systems Engineering" as this clearly explains what MBSE is trying to overcome. The book has an excellent balance of theory, practical application and identifies plenty of lessons learned or best practices. I especially liked the use of views throughout the book.The sections that discuss Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) and Object-Oriented Systems Engineering Methodology (OOSEM) were very helpful in tying my previous knowledge on the subjects with a greater understanding. The chapter on Next Steps was a welcome surprise as it discusses the deployment of MBSE.This book will be an excellent resource as my organization transitions from Document-based Systems Engineering to MBSE.

[E-book versions reviewed (Kindle & PDF formats)]This is a fantastic overview of Systems Engineering by Professor Jon Holt, in which he covers many of the fundamentals of Systems Engineering in simple and clear language. However, this is enriched through the use of SysML models, which helps to visually represent the topics he explains in a variety of diagrams. Put simply, he uses Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to represent the topics in the book, which is a fantastic way to learn MBSE. Whilst the heavy use of SysML diagrams may seem repetitive at first, the consistency and coherent use of such models really helps to explain the concepts easily.In a lot of ways, this book is an expansion of another book written by Jon and published by INCOSE UK; Don't Panic! The absolute beginners' guide to MBSE. Not only does he expand on the concepts covered in there, it is one reference captured in the book alongside many other publications and literature, which makes this a really useful repository if you are looking for another book to support your development as a systems engineer.I also appreciate that the publisher, Packt, provides an opportunity to download a DRM-Free PDF version of this book to all customers, regardless if it is the paperback version or the ebook version (e.g. Kindle).In summary, I think this is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in Systems Engineering and should definitely be in your reading list!

Recommended for software (like me) and systems people. I had only come into contact with MBSE tangentially, but this book has been really useful in filling in and extending that knowledge. It will be very useful for a project I am working on just now, so perfect timing. The book is suitable for practitioners of Systems Engineering who want to dust off the theory, and improve their practise. The book covers the basics (what is a System, lifecycles and processes) and then goes into techniques (Model Based-SE). The book is very detailed, and split into easily locatable sections. There is a lot of text on modelling the design, and verifying that the model is correct, which is the whole point).As with some other Packt books I have read this one has lots of worked examples for most chapters for self-study and embedding knowledge. I have long since learned NOT to skip these sections as you miss out a lot of the worth of text books like this.The most use to me were the chapters on deploying MBSE and simply the Art of Modelling. These are overview, high level sections, which complement the earlier more detailed sections well.So in summary the book is good for students or neophytes (like me) and long term professionals who want to go back and refresh and hone their skills.

This book offers a comprehensive guide to Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), targeting the three core challenges: complexity, ambiguous communication, and lack of understanding. The book introduces the Trinity Approach, a unique methodology for deploying MBSE effectively, and provides insights from a seasoned professional on the philosophy of modeling. Readers will learn about the MBSE life cycle, including design, verification, and validation, explore essential processes like stakeholder involvement and resource management, and understand how to integrate needs while complying with relevant guidelines.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a clear and practical guide to modern systems engineering. The author's expertise and the inclusion of relevant examples make this book an excellent choice for students and professionals looking to enhance their understanding and application of model-based systems engineering techniques.
