Class Notes

Yordan Tuzsuzov

Name: Yordan Tuzsuzov

Class Year(s): 2020

Note: Yordan Tuzsuzov ’20 (SOIS) writes: My book, "Systems Engineering for All", is officially released! It is a short, non-academic introduction to Systems Engineering, targeted to the general public of engineers and product designers, without prior systems engineering experience. Compact content, simple wording, and examples for each concept - these were my main objectives here (hopefully achieved). The book also introduces my I-CM (Interface-Component Model) method, to illustrate some of the discussed concepts and activities.
