SysML 101 - Model-Based Engineering Fundamentals: Understanding SysML Models

Course Description

Get started in the context of model-based engineering (MBE) in general and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) in particular. Learn the essentials of OMG SysML®, a general-purpose modeling language for developing complex systems composed of hardware, software, information, personnel, procedures, and/or facilities. In this 101 course, you'll cover key concepts in a tool-independent manner with a focus on how to read and properly interpret SysML models that other people have created. You will walk away with an understanding of all nine SysML diagram and their corresponding model elements.
