Systems Engineering Principles and Practice

Typically 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!

The book is well written and organized with good examples.

This 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.

The spine is tilted as many second hand books are. This is fine but not for the $87 we payed; try $40-45. The book arrived 1 day early
