Development of a Unified Systems Engineering Approach

Copies of 70 different transparencies Warfield used for talks. This material was produced by Warfield in 1970 while he was in the employ of Battelle Memorial Institute, Columbus, Ohio. Later, much of this material was published by Battelle in A Unified Systems Engineering Concept, Battelle Monograph #1, 1972. See notes for the titles of included transparencies.

 

These are  hard copy items, available only at Fenwick Library in Fairfax, Virginia in the Warfield Collection. 

The box at Fenwick Library holds copies of transparencies used for talks. TITLE LIST OF THE TRANSPARENCIES: 1. Distinguishing Features of the Systems Approach, 2. Applications, 3.
