The Advanced MBSE certificate program is a comprehensive continuation of Caltech's MBSE Fundamentals course. Using a real-world practical example, you will dive into applying the full construct of SysML elements in the nine SysML diagrams. We cover the requirements for OMG SysML certification exams for all four levels, including SysML Model Builder Intermediate and Advanced. Designed for flexible learning, this self-paced online program focuses on showcasing the power of MBSE on system of systems through functional decomposition, requirements space, and systems structural decomposition. Participants will have access to pre-recorded videos, hands-on training using Dassault Magic System of Systems Architecture, and asynchronous instructor support for questions and feedback via a Learning Management System. Experience real-world application of MBSE on a class project, along with assignments to enhance your understanding.
You will have the opportunity to further embrace the significance and value of digital engineering, gaining valuable insights into cultivating a team that can excel at model-based methods. Moreover, you will advanced your MBSE skills to:
Apply cross-diagram application of SysML elements effectively
Utilize simulation capability across diagrams to its fullest potential
Establish and enforce systems and model guidelines within your team
Gain a comprehensive understanding of SysML elements in all nine SysML diagrams
Seamlessly integrate SysML with other languages and standards
Evaluate the quality of models from team members and suppliers
Integrate SysML and models with other tools effortlessly
Communicate model contents, structure, and analyses clearly to stakeholders
Gain confidence in immediately applying your new skills on the job
The course covers the required topics for OMG SysML certification for Model Builder Intermediate (MBI) and Model Builder Advanced (MBA):
Current perspectives on SysML, MBSE, and evolving standards for digital engineering
SysML diagrams and Magic Grid philosophy
Model concepts; applying guidelines and standards
Model evaluations and reviews
Package diagrams and structures using all SysML constructs
Libraries, imports, and queries
Use case models, diagrams, and requirements
I/O flow, controls, and constraints
Specialized requirements
Requirements traceability
Digital threads in MBSE
Test cases and verification
Block diagram features
Receptions and distributed properties
Shared and composite aggregation in block relationships
Generalization sets
Value types, enumerations, classifiers
Hierarchy and behavior
Instance definitions
This course addresses the needs of systems engineering professionals in aerospace, automotive, defense, electronics, energy, and medical devices. Experienced MBSE practitioners and engineering managers will find this program ideal, including those who need to manage modelers and suppliers. This course targets the essential proficiencies needed for OMG certifications for SysML (Level 3–4).
Pre-requisite: Caltech’s Model-Based Systems Engineering certificate course or equivalent course/hands-on experience. You must understand the notation for all nine SysML diagrams and be able to create them with Cameo Systems Modeler. If you are uncertain, we highly recommend that you take the introductory MBSE course first.
