System Theories 330 $aEngineering, for much of the twentieth century, was mainly about artifacts and inventions. Now, it's increasingly about complex systems. As the airplane taxis to the gate, you access the Internet and check email with your PDA, linking the communication and transportation systems. At home, you recharge your plug-in hybrid vehicle, linking transportation to the electricity grid. Today's large-scale, highly complex sociotechnical systems converge, interact, and depend on each other in ways engineers of old could barely have imagined. As scale, scope, and complexity increase, engineers consider technical and social issues together in a highly integrated way as they design flexible, adaptable, robust systems that can be easily modified and reconfigured to satisfy changing requirements and new technological opportunities. Engineering Systems offers a comprehensive examination of such systems and the associated emerging field of study. Through scholarly discussion, concrete examples, and history, the authors consider the engineer's changing role, new ways to model and analyze these systems, the impacts on engineering education, and the future challenges of meeting human needs through the technologically enabled systems of today and tomorrow. 410 0$aEngineering systems 606 $aEngineering systems 606 $aSystems engineering 606 $aEngineering design$xPsychological aspects 610 $aENGINEERING/General 610 $aENGINEERING/Systems Science & Engineering 615 0$aEngineering systems. 615 0$aSystems engineering. 615 0$aEngineering design$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a620 700 $aDe Weck$b Olivier L$01042343 701 $aRoos$b Daniel$030898 701 $aMagee$b Christopher L$01676755 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814834203321 996 $aEngineering systems$94043156 997 $aUNINA
