Manage the Design, Development, and Engineering of Systems Effectively and Efficiently With This Essential Title

Posted on: Thursday, 17 April 2008, 06:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c89017) has announced the addition of Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management, 3rd Edition to their offering.

The Third Edition of Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management enables readers to manage the design, development, and engineering of systems effectively and efficiently. The book both defines and describes the essentials of project and systems engineering management and, moreover, shows the critical relationship and interconnection between project management and systems engineering. The author's comprehensive presentation has proven successful in enabling both engineers and project managers to understand their roles, collaborate, and quickly grasp and apply all the basic principles.

Readers familiar with the previous two critically acclaimed editions will find much new material in this latest edition, including:

Multiple views of and approaches to architectures

The systems engineer and software engineering

The acquisition of systems

Problems with systems, software, and requirements

Group processes and decision making

System complexity and integration

Throughout the presentation, clear examples help readers understand how concepts have been put into practice in real-world situations.

With its unique integration of project management and systems engineering, this book helps both engineers and project managers across a broad range of industries successfully develop and manage a project team that, in turn, builds successful systems. For engineering and management students in such disciplines as technology management, systems engineering, and industrial engineering, the book provides excellent preparation for moving from the classroom to industry.
