Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Verlag)
978-0-470-12933-3 (ISBN)
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.
HOWARD EISNER, DSC, is Distinguished Research Professor and Professor in the Engineering Management and Systems Engineering Department at The George Washington University. Prior to joining the university in 1989, Dr. Eisner held various positions in industry, including president of two systems and software engineering companies, Intercon Systems Corporation and Atlantic Research Services Corporation. He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE.
