Advanced Model-Based Systems Engineering Fundamentals (AMBSE)

Program Experience

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. This 48-hour live 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 hands-on training using Dassault Magic System of Systems Architecture, and xperience real-world application of MBSE on a class project.

Our flexible, open-enrollment certificate program is available in two online formats: Self-Paced and Live-Online, which run concurrently. The OnDemand option is pre-recorded, optimal for participants throughout the US and internationally.

Benefits

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

Topics

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

Who Should Attend

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.
