Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Certificate Courses

Caltech CTME offers both popular public certificate courses and highly customized MBSE programs for organizations. Our flagship courses—including MBSE Fundamentals and Advanced MBSE—are available in live online formats or hybrid options with asynchronous, self-paced learning. All programs emphasize teaching core systems engineering through modern MBSE methods, using SysML-based modeling tools such as CATIA Magic and Cameo. As an education partner of Dassault Systèmes, we align training with your modeling environment, architecture frameworks, and strategic goals. For enterprise clients, we tailor project-driven experiences that build real-world capability and are delivered by instructors who are practicing systems engineers from industry.

We customize MBSE programs not only by sector, but by mission and modeling maturity. For NASA, Caltech CTME developed a multi-course MBSE series to build enterprise-wide capability—training over 200 systems engineers to evaluate supplier models, define project standards, and advance Center-wide digital practices. We also created tailored courses for agency leaders and non-engineers to support cultural and organizational alignment. At a U.S. national laboratory, we designed a scalable program to serve both long-cycle development teams and rapid prototyping groups. For a leading engine manufacturer, we partnered on deep MBSE training focused on modeling robust digital twins to support advanced simulation and test environments. Only Caltech offers education programs this tightly aligned to real-world engineering workflows, taught by instructors who helped pioneer MBSE in aerospace, medical devices, and national security programs.
