- Flying DutchmanReviewed in the United States on 31 December 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource!
Verified PurchaseEasy read and walked through everything I had been taught going through the old IBM Federal SE training, plus updates. Systems Engineering programs not following this (most in my 27yrs as a contractor) cost more and take longer than they should, then don't deliver what the end user needs.
- RaySDReviewed in the United States on 29 December 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Text and Reference
Verified PurchaseI'm extremely glad I bought this recent textbook and guide about systems engineering since I want to update and refresh my knowledge in order to work on reducing global warming.
- John T Hill IVReviewed in the United States on 14 August 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars A great manual for best practices
Verified PurchaseTypically I use this book for reference and refresher. But this has been helpful whenever I've proposed processes and best-practices and been called out: Can't argue with what's in here!
- MaxReviewed in the United States on 13 February 2024
2.0 out of 5 stars Repetitive, grammar and spelling mistakes
Verified PurchaseThis book contains an editorial error every few pages. Sections repeat themselves without providing additional information resulting in overly wordy chapters and eye glazing content. This book priorities quantity over quality. Examples are sparse and poorly detailed. As a practicing systems engineer reading this for a masters degree I am disappointed by the authors and professor who chose it.
