What Makes the Systems Engineer Successful? Various Surveys Suggest An Answer This book, Howard Eisner’s tenth related to engineering, systems and management, offers a survey of successful attributes of the systems engineer.

It focuses on the key positive attributes of what today’s systems engineer should be and puts a model in place for achievement and behavior for future systems engineers.

Written in survey form, the book provides a description of how and why systems engineers can be, and have been, successful. It offers successful attributes, focuses on the key positive qualities, and drills down to the success features to aim for and the failure characteristics to avoid. By doing so, Eisner, an INCOSE and IEEE fellow and professor emeritus at George Washington University, draws out a path toward success in this field.

The audience for this work includes any engineer (regardless of label – e.g. systems, industrial, mechanical, or general) and those in technical management.
