Program Experience

The objective of this self-paced, 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).
