A detailed and thorough reference on the discipline and practice of
systems engineering
The objective of the International Council on Systems Engineering
(INCOSE) Systems Engineering Handbook is to describe key process
activities performed by systems engineers and other engineering
professionals throughout the life cycle of a system. The book covers a
wide range of fundamental system concepts that broaden the thinking of
the systems engineering practitioner, such as system thinking, system
science, life cycle management, specialty engineering, system of
systems, and agile and iterative methods. This book also defines the
discipline and practice of systems engineering for students and
practicing professionals alike, providing an authoritative reference
that is acknowledged worldwide.
The latest edition of the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook
- Is consistent with ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2015 Systems and software
engineering--System life cycle processes and the Guide to the Systems
Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK)
- Has been updated to include the latest concepts of the INCOSE working
groups
- Is the body of knowledge for the INCOSE Certification Process
This book is ideal for any engineering professional who has an interest
in or needs to apply systems engineering practices. This includes the
experienced systems engineer who needs a convenient reference, a product
engineer or engineer in another discipline who needs to perform systems
engineering, a new systems engineer, or anyone interested in learning
more about systems engineering.
