Introduction to Model-Based Systems Engineering

Course Description

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is the formalized application of modeling and simulation to support the systems engineering process in terms of requirements development, design, analysis, verification, and validation activities throughout the system lifecycle. This course serves as an introduction to MBSE and its foundational concepts. You will gain an understanding of what it means to employ a model-based approach, especially in comparison to traditional document-centric design. This course will introduce you to the three pillars of MBSE: Language, Tools, and Approach and how to effectively use each to meet the objective of supporting decision making during the systems engineering process.

Course Content

WHAT IS MBSE?

  • Systems Engineering in context
  • Model-based systems engineering versus document-centric design
  • MBSE and digital engineering

WHY MBSE?

  • Benefits and costs of a model-based approach
  • The role and utility of a system model in the context of MBSE

THE THREE PILLARS OF MBSE

  • System modeling languages
  • Modeling tools
  • Model-based approaches
Requirements & Materials

Prerequisites

Materials

Required (student must provide)

  • Access to a computer capable of running a no-install bundle of a SysML authoring tool such as NoMagic MagicDraw™ or Cameo Systems Modeler™ - (Operating System Requirements: Windows 10 or later; Mac OS Catalina, Big Sur or later)

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for engineers, scientists, managers, and technicians interested in MBSE, including those responsible for implementing an MBSE approach, those who need to author system models themselves, review model artifacts, and/or lead other people who will do such things. This course is targeted towards the MBSE practitioner who seeks to gain a fundamental and deeper understanding of MBSE. This course builds on the language fundamentals covered in SysML 101 and 201 and is geared towards organizations building an MBSE capability.
