Applied Systems Engineering

Applied Systems Engineering: Principles, Processes, and Practice bridges the gap between theory and application, offering a comprehensive treatment of systems engineering as both a discipline and a mindset. Drawing inspiration from NASA's Systems Engineering Handbook and decades of practice, the book equips students, professionals, and leaders with the tools to manage complexity in aerospace, infrastructure, digital platforms, and governance.

Structured in six parts, the book covers foundations, life cycle processes, realization, technical management, applications, and the future of systems engineering. It also includes templates, checklists, and case studies, making it a practical reference for both academia and practice.

With clarity and rigor, Dr. Slim Saïdi presents systems engineering not just as a technical process, but as a discipline for leadership, foresight, and resilience in the age of global complexity.
