International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) San Francisco Bay Area Chapter
October 14, 2003, Tuesday Evening Monthly Program
"The Systems Engineer's Bookshelf "
Jeff Harrison
Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company
Program Abstract
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Keeping current on Systems Engineering literature can be very time-consuming. Jeff Harrison will provide book reviews on recent publications of interest to systems engineers.
As systems engineers, it is important that we augment our everyday experience (aka on-the-job training) with knowledge of processes, techniques, and lessons learned from other sources outside of our job-related perspective. One way to do this is by reading systems engineering (SE) related books. This presentation will review two SE-related books for your consideration. The books to be reviewed are:
In addition, there will be a discussion, with the attendees participating, on what literature should be in a systems engineer's library. Many of these products are available on the Web and their URL addresses will be provided if available. What publications are considered essential and what publications are nice to have? What would you recommend to someone new to Systems Engineering and what publications would you tell them to avoid? It will be permissible to mention publications that are obsolete, misleading, or do not provide good value (useful information/cost).
About the Speaker:
Jeff Harrison has 20 years of systems engineering experience with Lockheed Martin Space
Systems Company in Sunnyvale in support of space systems development. He is currently
involved in the development of the Anomaly Detection and Resolution (ADR) design for
the Space-Based Infra-Red System (SBIRS) spacecraft. Prior to his SBIRS assignment, he
worked for five years on the Space InfraRed Telescope Facility (SIRTF) spacecraft program where he was involved in the development of its Fault Protection Subsystem along with the development, maintenance, and verification of spacecraft-level requirements. He has an MS in Aeronautical Engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School and a BS in Aerospace Engineering from North Carolina State University. He has been a member of the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of INCOSE for over nine years.
