A look at a relevant systems engineering standard such as IEEE 1220 and related literature (see e.g. https://www.quora.com/Which-one-is-a-good-book-to-learn-Syst...) is recommended. The field and its methods are well defined and even standardized.



I love the NASA systems engineering handbook.

The pdf is in the public domain, I sent it to a printer, had it bound as hardcover, ribbon bookmarks, I love it.


Yes, it's a great book indeed; unfortunately they removed a lot of very useful stuff in the second edition; some of it went into other books, but unfortunately not everything; this may be because fewer and fewer people are willing to read for themselves; this is also noticeable in practice, where I meet more and more people who have obviously never heard of the fundamental works of the discipline.
