Decision Making in Systems Engineering and Management, 3rd Edition

Co‐authors

It is difficult to imagine how our systems engineering, engineering management, and systems design curriculum at West Point would have advanced to the quality level it is currently operating at without the many contributions from our entire department staff and faculty. The first edition was the epitome of a team effort involving many of the folks listed in the following, several of whom are currently making outstanding contributions at other academic institutions and industry. As editions progressed to this 3rd edition, many of their contributions to this text live on, perhaps reshaped into a different format with a different emphasis, but with the same core intent maintained: to help develop the next generation of systems thinkers. The primary chapters to which they deserve co-authorship are noted next to their names below. And for that, we thank them profusely.
