Summary Annotation The authors, who both teach electrical engineering at the U. of New South Wales, Australia, have written a text that will be useful for the undergraduate and graduate classroom. The philosophical aspects of the field are provided as an overview, with descriptions of procedures, vocabulary, and standards. Systems engineering is then described, with sections on all stages of design, systems engineering management, tools, and applications. A chapter is included on the interrelationship between systems engineering and fields such as project management, quality management, and integrated logistics support management.
