Overview
This course is designed to provide you with a solid grasp of MBSE fundamentals and its advantages of over traditional systems engineering methods. Throughout the course, you will embark on a journey that demystifies the core concepts of MBSE. From understanding its foundational principles to diving into the processes involved, the course offers a holistic view of how MBSE is revolutionizing the engineering landscape.
You will engage in practical exercises that cover the various stages and tasks involved in contracting MBSE models, helping you to understand the nuances of building systems’ models. Furthermore, you will gain skills in interpreting and querying existing models and employing them to examine and manage systems effectively.
By the end of this course, participants will understand the MBSE lifecycle, model applications, and learn how to evaluate the quality of MBSE models, methods, and tools. They will also acquire insights into workforce requirements for MBSE, emphasizing the role of model artifacts throughout a system’s lifecycle.
