Model-Based Systems Engineering Certificate Program

When you are facing the challenge 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.

Our popular, expert-led course in MBSE combines action learning and hands-on model making using real-world cases—the skillset to hit the ground running in deployments. This program elevates your team’s capacity to create flexible and robust models, boosting your organization’s ability to deliver value as expected.

Learning Objectives

The objective of this five-day 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.

You will learn to:

• Explore MBSE in the context of Model-Based Engineering (MBE) 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 managing them through tools and methods
• 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
• Articulating the economic and operational value of MBSE to stakeholders
• Plan appropriate approaches for implementation and accelerated adoption

Who should attend

This course addresses the needs of systems engineering professionals in aerospace, defense, electronics, mobility, and advanced medical devices.

Senior and early-career engineers, analysts, designers, and developers will examine a structured approach to requirements analysis and systems design and will learn how to improve their planning, execution, and communications skills.

Project managers and support teams will explore how MBSE disciplines can enhance enterprise and mission effectiveness and will gain an understanding of how to manage scope, digital and traditional work products, risk, and teams of diverse talents.

Hours and Credits: Participants will earn 4.8 Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
