Digital Transformation Fundamentals in A&D

Course Description

This course examines why digital transformation matters in aerospace and defense and how digital engineering turns intent into verifiable capability faster and with less risk. You will explore sector-specific challenges, including system complexity, supply chain fragility, certification requirements, and evolving threat profiles. You will also examine the shift from document-centric practices to model-based approaches and understand how digital engineering aligns with systems engineering (SE), model-based engineering (MBE), and model-based systems engineering (MBSE). The course introduces key enablers, including MBSE, the digital thread, digital twins, and ecosystem integration, providing context for subsequent courses.
