System Engineering & MBSE

Develop practical skills for building and evaluating Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) using the SysML v2 standard. This hands-on course guides participants from capturing stakeholder needs through system architecture, behavior, structure, and evaluation using practical, real-world examples.

If you are new to modeling, there has never been a better time to start. SysML v2 is built on a modern logical foundation called Kernel Modeling (KerML), designed to address the complexity of today’s aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, electronics, and medical systems. This course provides a clear, structured entry point into MBSE using the newest generation of systems modeling standards.

Most developers use AI as enhanced autocomplete. This lab is about something more durable: designing and implementing an agentic workflow that can reason, plan, and act within a structured code environment.

In this half-day, live, instructor-led lab, you will build a functioning AI workflow agent using Claude Code. Working in a small group, with expert coaching and real-time feedback, you will move from configuration to architecture to integration—using realistic repositories and applied use cases rather than isolated demos.

As you face the challenges of optimizing design and simulation activities, you need the toolbox of relevant skills in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). A critical capability in digital engineering, MBSE integrates iterative, comprehensive design with insights into the implications of choices, changes, and system behaviors. Engineering professionals and teams who must rapidly demonstrate MBSE skills requisite for high-stakes strategic programs choose Caltech when they need to learn the most pragmatic path to mastering model-based systems.

Gain valuable expertise and level up your skills with Caltech's Advanced Model-Based System Engineering Certificate Program (Advanced MBSE). Dive into the full power of SysML in practical examples of intricate systems and digital threads. Benefit from engaging, self-paced learning guided by an accessible expert instructor as you work through real-world scenarios. Build the confidence to deploy MBSE/SysML on your projects in a manner that adds value and encourages robust systems thinking.

The transition from SysML v1 to SysML v2 represents a fundamental shift in the landscape of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Unlike previous incremental updates, SysML v2 is built on a new logical foundation—the Kernel Modeling (KerML)—and introduces a standardized API and a powerful textual notation. This three-day program is designed to bridge the gap for current SysML v1 practitioners, providing the technical knowledge and hands-on practical skills required to migrate existing SysML V1 models and adopt the new SysML V2 standard using Cameo Systems Modeler.
