System Engineering Books

[Pattielli]

Would you please introduce me some books on basic system simulations, engineering and modeling which to you are good and sufficient for me-a beginner ? Old ones are also fine....
Any advice, suggestions or recomendations are highly appreciated !

Thank you,

Both for graduate and undergraduate students I recommend

Systems Engineering Principles and Practice (http://goo.gl/Dr8HX)

Another good book is

System Engineering Management (http://goo.gl/2Ntb4)
