 An excellent approach for students and professionals September 11, 2008
Isabel Madrigal Portuguez (San Jose, Costa Rica)
Within the book you can find a deep and clear overview useful for all professionals that develop solutions that should integrate a series of elements that reach an specific goal. A most in every engineer library.
 Finally, the authoritative SE text! February 22, 2008
Philip Allen (El Segundo, CA USA)

This excellent text will be useful to every system engineer (SE) regardless of the domain. It covers ALL relevant SE material and does so in a very clear, methodical fashion. The breadth and depth of the author's presentation of SE principles and practices is outstanding. Anyone thinking of writing the "great American SE textbook" can put down their pens. Mr Wasson has done it.
Excellent Reference on Systems Engineering November 11, 2007
C. Albert (San Diego)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Wasson's book provides a very complete review of systems engineering processes, procedures and terminology. I found the section on trade studies of particular value for developing aerospace applications. Sections on requirements analysis and specifications were also very helpful.
[...]Content-wise the book is excellent.
great practical book on SE - not systems analysis December 7, 2005

The author wrote this beook because he was concerned that many of the SE textbooks on the market were too philosophical, and decided to channel his energies into creating a text
that reflected his realities as an SE practitioner and program
manager.
The book includes
1) conceptual foundations in SE,
2) HOW TOs,
and
3) practitioner-based knowledge.
Since SE applies to any type of system from Space Shuttles to PDAs, organizations, services etc., Wasson built on the basic SE foundations from aerospace and defense in formulating a fresh new approach that canbe applied to any business domain - construction, communications, financial, medical, educational, transportation, etc.
The 57 chapters are "lesson oriented", developed for upper-undergraduate to graduate level students, focus on specific SE topics, and include two types of exercises: development of general systems, products, and services and organizational centric.
Instructors can take the topics to any level of detail they desire, depending on their audience.
