New Book marries Project Management with Systems Engineering
Reported by Ed Naughton in Dublin
Research and Markets, based in Dublin, has announced the addition of Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management, 3rd Edition to their offering. According to their announcement, the Third Edition of Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management enables readers to manage the design, development, and engineering of systems effectively and efficiently.
The book both defines and describes the essentials of project and systems engineering management and, moreover, shows the critical relationship and interconnection between project management and systems engineering. The author's presentation is intended to enable both engineers and project managers to understand their roles, collaborate, and quickly grasp and apply basic principles.
Readers familiar with the previous two critically acclaimed editions of this book will find new material in this latest edition, including:
Throughout the presentation, examples help readers understand how concepts have been put into practice in real-world situations.
With its integration of project management and systems engineering, this book should help engineers and project managers across a broad range of industries successfully develop and manage a project team that, in turn, can build successful systems. For engineering and management students in such disciplines as technology management, systems engineering, and industrial engineering, the book can also provide good preparation for moving from the classroom to industry.
The author, Howard Eisner, DSc, is Distinguished Research Professor and Professor in the Engineering Management and Systems Engineering Department at The George Washington University in Washington, DC, USA. Prior to joining the university in 1989, Dr. Eisner held various positions in industry, including president of two systems and software engineering companies, Intercon Systems Corporation and Atlantic Research Services Corporation. He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE.
