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

I recently completed a read on Systems Engineering by @Packt. For anyone new to SE, or considering a transition into SE, this is one of the books you need to read. It provides a comprehension background on SE came about and why it has become so important in today’s complicated tech market. Initially use in the aerospace/defense industry it has become a necessity in the development medical devices, automotive, and communications industries. Achieving autonomy in ground and air vehicles also requires the use of SE. And you’ll learn that SE is more than just requirements, it’s a look at the entire lifecycle of a system.For experienced SEs the chapters on MBSE are a great learning aid in addressing this new addition to the practice and understanding how this is changing SE. While many organizations remain document focused the transition to MBSE is coming and all SEs should prepare themselves for the application of MBSE.This book is also a resource for SE managers in helping their teams develop skills and apply these too projects. The introduction of MBSE is a challenge for any organization, finding the right project to pilot MBSE on, and developing SMEs that can then be a resource for other teams and projects is essential. Managers need to be able to address the When, What and Why questions when introducing MBSE. These questions address – When is the time to do this, never a perfect time; What project should we do this on and the Why – if this is the path companies are following can we afford to be behind competitors or if a supplier not working the same as a customer.This is also a useful read for non-SEs, providing an overview of how SE work is done and why it is essential to project success. All disciplines of engineering and project/program leaders on a project will find this book of value.I recommend this book as a resource for both experienced and new to systems engineering professionals.

Implementing an MBSE program is a challenging endeavor, but fortunately, Jon Holt's latest book, "Systems Engineering Demystified," offers invaluable guidance throughout the journey. This extensive 500-page tome establishes a robust ontological foundation and systematically builds upon it, leveraging models to foster a shared comprehension of the subject matter. Encompassing all facets of systems engineering, from modeling and verification to lifecycle management, processes, methodologies, management, and more, the book also aligns seamlessly with industry standards like ISO 15288, SAFe, and OOSEM. What sets this book apart is its accessibility – it's not just for seasoned Systems Engineers; even individuals outside this field will find it easy to follow. Furthermore, each chapter concludes with a helpful summary, self-assessment exercises, and a comprehensive list of references, making it an indispensable resource.I found "Systems Engineering Demystified" by Jon Holt to be an exceptionally insightful and practical resource. Its clear explanations, structured approach, and comprehensive content made it an invaluable tool for my MBSE journey.Highly recommend!

This book provides valuable insights into systems engineering concepts, making complex topics easy to understand. The inclusion of real-world case studies provided a tangible connection between theory and practical application makes everything much easier to understandOne aspect I particularly appreciated was the author's ability to simplify complex ideas without sacrificing depth. The use of clear language and diagrams made it easy to grasp intricate systems engineering principles. Additionally, the book's emphasis on problem-solving techniques and decision-making processes helped me with practical skills that I can apply in my own projects.I also found the updated content in this second edition to be extremely valuable. It's evident that the author has taken care to incorporate recent developments and trends in the field of systems engineering, ensuring that readers receive the most relevant and up-to-date information.I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to delve into the world of systems engineering

Systems Engineering Demystified by Jon Holt offers a great introduction into the field of Systems Engineering.Although this book starts from the basics ('what is Systems Engineering'), more seasoned engineers will probably still find value in the later chapters. The book is well illustrated and starts of steady with a broad and detailed definition of the field of Systems Engineering.The text is clarified throughout using diagrams which form the basis of the MBSE methodology that is introduced in the second chapter. This allows one to become familiar with this type of notation at a steady pace, which is important as it forms the basis for a modern Systems Engineering approach. I particularly like that the book also includes a chapter on how one can introduce the methodology into an organisation. Something which I haven't yet seen yet in other Systems Engineering books.Overall the author, Jon Holt, succeeded in creating a very readable and well structured reference book that touches on a all the basics of Systems Engineering and MBSE.
