Main textbook: Introduction to Civil Engineering Systems, by S. Labi, Wiley & Sons (currently available online for Purdue students, due for release 2010). Addressing recent concerns about the world's aging civil infrastructure and its environmental impact, the author makes the case for why any civil infrastructure should be seen as part of a larger whole. This book presents an integrated systems approach to the evaluation, analysis, design, and maintenance of civil engineering systems. The text is not intended to be an independent document. Chapter 1 Introduction to Systems Engineering 3 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEMS ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT 1.1 PURPOSE The overall organization of this text is described in the Preface. Rather, it is to be used as a supplement to the instructor's lectures. Civil Engineering Systems Slobodan P. Simonovic 2 PREFACE This updated set of notes is prepared to serve as a supporting text for an introductory systems course for civil engineers. As such, civil system engineers are increasingly being called upon to render account of their fiduciary stewardship of the public infrastructure and assets.
