THE ART AND SCIENCE OF SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

Systems engineering is a critical core competency for successful NASA missions. This monograph summarizes the collective wisdom of some of NASA's best technical minds on the subject. So here the word "we" represents all contributors to this effort: Michael Bay, Bill Gerstenmaier, Mike Griffin, Jack Knight, Wiley Larson, Ken Ledbetter, Gentry Lee, Michael Menzel, Brian Muirhead, John Muratore, Bob Ryan, Mike Ryschkewitsch, Dawn Schaible, Chris Scolese, and Chris Williams. Among them, they have more than 390 years — almost four centuries — of experience in aerospace and systems engineering.
