Biography
G. Maarten Bonnema is an associate professor in multidisciplinary systems design at the Department of Design, Production and Management of the Faculty of Engineering Technology at the University of Twente, and is a part-time associate professor at the Norwegian Institute of Systems Engineering (NISE) in Kongsberg, Norway.
Karel Th. Veenvliet, a retired associate professor, advises companies on how to apply value engineering and systems engineering methods and tools.
Jan F. Broenink is an associate professor of embedded control systems at the Robotics and Mechatronics group of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Twente.
"The book is a beautiful mix of theory and practical approach, illustrated with adequate examples to illustrate systems engineering (SE) and keep the reader attracted/interested throughout the reading experience. Various aspects of SE and methods providing the big picture at system level are discussed. In particular, professionals are invited to contact the authors to help in developing and maturing the SE field."
—Rikus Eising, Dean Emeritus, Faculty of Engineering Technology, University of Twente
