Program Experience
The objective of this ten-day, open-enrollment program is to focus on systems thinking throughout the engineering process—from gathering customer needs and requirements to systems modeling to integrated design and delivery.
Our experts pioneered the field and expertly guide you through project-based efforts. You can build to case materials on autonomous systems ventures or choose to model your own initiative. Either way, we'll advise you along the way on considerations, trades, and coaching for implementation.
You will learn through a combination of action learning and hands-on model making using real-world cases—the skillset to hit the ground running in deployments. This program elevates your and your team’s capacity to create models that are both flexible and robust, boosting your organization's ability to deliver value as expected.
Each participant will receive a copy of the textbook A Practical Guide to SysML: The Systems Modeling Language (Third Edition).
Benefits
In this course, you will learn how to:
Explore MBSE in the context of model-based engineering and complex systems
Scope and execute full lifecycle MBSE tasks
Model structures interactions and behaviors based on requirements and constraints
Generate appropriate systems models and effectively manage them
Investigate internal and external interactions
Assess trades and implications
Evaluate, critique, and improve SysML structures and models
Craft key representations, diagrams, and use-cases
Build confidence in applying MBSE fundamentals to make meaningful contributions to your projects
Plan appropriate approaches for implementation and accelerated adoption
Topics
This program covers everything from gathering customer needs to integrated design and delivery. Get practical experience with interactive SysML models using Cameo Systems Modeler or similar Dassault tools.
