Surf's up: Systems engineering

Systems Engineering requires an interdisciplinary approach to carrying out the ever increasing complexities of technical projects with their many variables and subsystem interactions. Web resources reviewed here offer insights, methodologies, design strategies, and tools to assist project and process managers as they strive to contain costs, reduce risks, eliminate failures, produce high quality outcomes, and maximize customer satisfaction levels. Moreover, these sites provide targeted hyperlinks that lead to a wealth of additional information about modeling and simulation, mathematical programming, systems thinking principles, and useful graphical techniques such as causal loop diagrams.
