Fundamentals of Systems Engineering by Brian O'cain

Fundamentals of Systems Engineering: Basics for Practical Application provides an integrated view of the system design process. The process is explained and then reinforced with examples, enabling students to see the methods used in developing familiar systems in a systematic way. This fundamental view of design is valuable to engineers in every discipline. The interactive ebook format allows students to read the text of each chapter and engage with digital learning activities throughout--including comprehension checkpoints, chapter assessments, and topic-specific video tutorials--all within a single platform.

The ebook is organized into 15 chapters. Opening chapters define systems engineering and explore systems thinking, system design process, and system concept design. Students learn about system functionality, preliminary and detailed designs, concept selection and trades, and design compliance. Additional chapters address risk management, software-specific systems processes, life cycle design and costing, and system maintenance and product evolution. Closing chapters discuss the concept of enterprise architecture and reveal some of the realities of systems engineering practice. A collection of four appendices provide students with examples of systems engineering projects, demonstrating the thought process of an engineer from identifying a problem, stakeholders, and needs to creating a detailed design.

Developed to offer students a highly practical and hands-on approach to the subject matter, Fundamentals of Systems Engineering is an ideal resource for engineering programs as well as practicing engineers.
