Instructed by Teaching Science and Technology Inc. (TSTI)

  • This course is ideal for technical or non-technical professionals preparing to undertake digital transformation in their organizations.
  • All students will receive an AIAA Certificate of Completion at the end of the course

Overview
What is Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE)? How will it improve my project products and processes? Why is it worth the investment? These and other key questions are explored in the 1-day Essential MBSE course. The course is tailored for project managers, engineering team members, and systems engineers preparing to undertake digital transformation in their organizations. Participants will leave with the knowledge and background to more critically evaluate MBSE implementation in their organizations and with the foundation to pursue more advanced MBSE training if needed.

Learning Objectives

  • Define Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
  • Explain the MBSE value proposition across the project lifecycle.
  • Recognize and explain the use of SysML as well as commonly used systems engineering diagrams and artifacts.
  • Describe the purpose of ontologies, modeling languages and architectural frameworks and give examples.
  • Identify various use cases for MBSE artifacts
  • Use MBSE artifacts to evaluate Project Maturity and Issues
  • Explain how models can be re-used, integrated and extended.
  • Discuss MBSE adoption challenges within organizations
  • Embark on more advanced, hands-on MBSE training

Who Should Attend: Project Managers, Systems engineers, payload principle investigators, subsystem engineers or project managers who are participating in or responsible for digital transformation in their organization.

Testimonials

“Taking what I have learned to my customer.”

“The importance of learning about MBSE and being aware of how to use it.”

“Instructor's teaching style and command of the material were excellent. Much of this is dry stuff but the instructor did a terrific job making it interesting and relevant. It's obvious he knows his stuff.”

“I received a basic understanding of what MBSE is and how it could be useful on the programs I currently support, as well as future program.”
