Systems Engineering Bibliography

Buede, Dennis M. The Engineering Design of Systems: Models and Methods, 3rd Edition. John Wiley & Sons, 2016.

Strong focus on function analysis and decision analysis.  Good introduction to IDEF0.

Chapman, William L., Terry Bahill, and A. Wayne Wymore. Engineering Modeling and Design. Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, 2019.

Forsberg, Kevin, Hal Mooz, and Howard Cotterman. Visualizing Project Management: Models and Frameworks for Mastering Complex Systems. Hoboken, NJ: J. Wiley, 2005.

The rare project management book that gives emphasis on the critical importance of systems engineering.

Gibson, John E., William T. Scherer, William F. Gibson, and Michael C. Smith. How to Do Systems Analysis: Primer and Casebook. Hoboken, NJ: Wiley, 2017.

Teaches systems analysis (systems decision making) rather than systems engineering.  Systems analysis is an essential practice in systems engineering.  Bahill's book on trade-off analysis is another one of few books on the subject.
