Stanley G. Siegel

Dr. Stanley G. Siegel has progressive professional experience as a systems engineer, mathematician, and computer specialist. He started his career with the U.S. Government in the Department of Commerce and then the Department of Defense. After his government service, he was with Grumman for 15 years and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) for over 20 years. He helped SAIC grow to a $11 billion leader in scientific, engineering, and technical solutions with hundreds of millions of dollars in new business.

Siegel earned a nuclear physics doctorate from Rutgers University. While at SAIC, he served as a senior technical advisor and director on a wide spectrum of projects in areas such as software engineering methodology assessment, software requirements analysis, software testing and quality assurance, and technology assessment.

Siegel and Donaldson have jointly taught graduate courses since the mid-1990s. They teach both in-class and online software systems engineering courses at Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering. Johns Hopkins honored them in 2009 with an Excellence in Teaching Award.

Siegel has co-authored four software engineering books including the seminal software engineering textbook Software Configuration Management: An Investment in Product Integrity, (Prentice Hall, 1980) and Successful Software Development: Making It Happen, 2nd Edition, (Prentice Hall PTR, 2001). He has co-authored Enterprise Cybersecurity: How to Build a Successful Cyberdefense Program Against Advanced Threats (Apress 2015) that empowers organizations to defend themselves against the threat of modern targeted cyberattacks. He also co-authored Understanding Security Issues, (Walter de Gruyter Inc., 2019) that helps people protect their digital life at work, at home, and on travel.

Siegel has contributed to a number of books, including the Encyclopedia of Software Engineering, Software Project Management Success Factors (Reducing the Likelihood of Software Failures), (CRC Press, 2010); and the Handbook of Software Quality Assurance, Software Configuration Management—A Practical Look 3rd Edition, (Prentice Hall, 1999).
