A Hands-on Approach to Understanding the Processes, Practicalities and Potentials for your Projects
Course Description:
This 3-4 day tailorable course provides a broad introduction to the what, why and how of the processes, practices, tools and techniques that comprise the emerging discipline of model-based systems engineering (MBSE). The course makes extensive use of “learn by doing” through hands-on exercises. The focus is on six central themes that comprise the unique advantages MBSE offers—Capturing, Connecting, Controlling, Communicating, Collaborating and Cycling. The current state of modeling languages (UML, SYSML, LML, and others), ontologies, architectural frameworks and tools are examined. From this foundation, the course then focuses on examining each key part of systems engineering–Design, Manage, and Realize. Participants are guided through how to build a system model “from scratch” leveraging design patterns and other techniques. A “graduation exercise” asks participants to build their own model for a system of their choice. With over 3,000 alumni, this course is designed for practicing systems engineers, payload principle investigators, subsystem engineers or project managers involved with any phase of the space mission life cycle who are curious about application of MBSE to their projects.
