Model Based System Engineering with SysML

Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) is a megatrend in modern software and systems engineering – the key element in larger engineering transformation initiatives. Model-based, not document-based, MBSE clarifies understanding and has been empirically proven to significantly accelerate development projects. This 3-day Hands-On course provides a solid grounding in MBSE project processes and how to build robust models using SysML notation and diagrams. Attendees will receive a solid grounding in MBSE and SysML with the understanding and confidence to participate and be successful as modern-day system engineers. The course case study evolves from concept to full model and is achieved through comprehensive hands-on exercises developed entirely by the attendee. Those attending can choose to use Dassault/Magic Draw/Cameo or Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect. Model Based System Engineering with SysML Benefits In this course, you will learn how to: Explain the six goals of Model Based System Engineering Transition through the four pillars of MBSE from Requirements to Structure to Behavior to Parametrics Create and relate all 9 SysML diagrams with an understanding of the underlying model Structure the model for testing, validation and requirements satisfaction Leverage continued support with after-course one-on-one instructor coaching and computing sandbox Certification Exam Information: 40 questions The passing score is 28/40 (70%) This APMG™ exam will be invigilated during class by your instructor The exam is 60 minutes in duration Model Based System Engineering Instructor-Led Training Outline Module 1: System Engineering Transformation What is System Engineering Transformation?
