This textbook continues to fill the need for a systems engineering design textbook specifically written for students from a large variety of backgrounds, including 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.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.

Additional Delivery Information (and some really important bits):

UK Delivery

Orders for delivery in the UK are normally despatched by Royal Mail, using the RM 48 Tracked Service with most orders delivered to you within a few days of placing your order with us. For larger parcels, Courier and Signed For delivery services may be used. Signed Books are shipped in our specially made book mailing cartons, with the books themselves wrapped in paper to protect them. Sometimes we may ship your order in several parts, particularly if you have 'Pre-Order' titles in your order or titles which are held in stock with our publishing partners.

The Really Important Bit: Because we use tracked, courier and signed for delivery services, please use an address at which your parcel can be received during the normal working day, for example, you may want to have your order delivered to your work address if you're not at home during the day.

Another Really Important Bit: There are a number of Postcodes in the UK for which we will need to charge a shipping supplement, this will be calculated once we know the size and weight of the shipment. For these orders we will contact customers to agree a suitable and economic method of shipping. There may also be additional time required for delivery to some areas of the United Kingdom. Where possible, we will ship book orders (under 2kg) by Royal Mail to all UK postcodes.
