Systems Engineering And Analysis

by Wolter J. Fabrycky

This reference examines the engineering of both natural and human-made systems and the analysis of those systems. For the engineering of systems, the authors emphasize the process of bringing systems into being. Regarding analysis, they explore the improvement of systems already in existence. Includes a wealth of new and revised figures throughout. Features significant revisions and new material on Bringing Systems Into Being (Ch. 2); Conceptual Design (Ch. 3); Design For Supportability (Ch. 15); Design For Affordability - Life-Cycle Costing (Ch. 17). Adds material on the integration of design disciplines in the systems engineering. Concludes each chapter with new Summary Extensions. Provides a new supplier evaluation checklist. Includes a new appendix that lists 35 key related web sites. A useful reference for electrical, electronic, and automotive engineers, as well as professionals in the aeronautics, astronautics, and manufacturing industries.

I worked through this as part of my masters degree program. It isn't exactly a gripping read but serves as a good reference book.

Used for a class on System Suitability. covered all of the "ilities" and the Formulas are good.

A good reference

[Mark · Rating 4 out of 5]

I came across this book while I was writing a document describing a service I co-designed and developed. In this book I found equations, principles, insights, etc which I had learned the hard way over 20 years. This book helped me crisply articulate things I had learned and made me regret not studying system and industrial engineering when I was in college.

Not a good introduction to the subject. Very dry, repetitive and poorly organized text. Charts often appear sideways making it necessary to spin the book while reading every other page. At best, the book serves as a good reference as it contains a sizable amount of information.

Read this for a Master's class, Intro to Systems Engineering. Like most textbooks of this type it's pretty dry. Very thorough, but often repetitive.

Served its purpose, and I didn't fail.
