This book examines innovations and evaluates the components of the systems engineering which best drive the innovation process to develop new systems and products. Disciplined processes, trade studies, risk activities, and others are cross-examined for their value proposition to innovation and design. The book then asks the question as to whether we can do better, including establishing the proper expectations and plans, choosing the right participants, providing the enabling environment, defining the valued outputs, and predicting outcomes. It then presents a vision for tomorrow's systems engineering which involves newer, emerging techniques and design technologies that can lead to higher levels of innovation along with perhaps reduced complexity, both in the engineered systems and the systems engineering process itself.The significant features of this text include: Solid coverage of the fundamental concepts and theory of systems engineering and model-based systems engineering; A strong emphasis on systematic innovation procedures to produce new systems; Application systems engineering tools to realistic problems; Detailed introduction to requirements engineering; Comprehensive coverage to the principles of design; Detailed methodologies to requirement-driven design; Coverage to risk-driven design; Coverage to human-centered design; Detailed review to model-based design; Every chapter concludes with problems for the readers to carry out.
