Foundations of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)

  •  A Hands-on Approach to Understanding the Processes, Practicalities and Potentials of MBSE for your Projects
  • Includes a copy of the course textbook Applied Space Systems Engineering and a complete set of course notes

 

This 1.5-day course provides a broad overview of the processes, practices, tools, and techniques that comprise the emerging discipline of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) with emphasis on practical application. The course examines the “why,” “what” and “how” of MBSE beginning with its basic value proposition. The course focuses on six central themes that comprise the unique advantages MBSE offers—Capturing, Connecting, Controlling, Communicating, Collaborating and Cycling. In this course, the foundations of MBSE are established by reviewing the systems engineering fundamentals and what it means to “model” SE. Ontologies, modeling languages and frameworks are then reviewed to establish a basis for their use in any MBSE project. From this foundation, participants are guided through a hands-on exercise to model a simple system.

Learning Objectives
  • Understand Model-based Systems Engineering
  • Apply MBSE Tools and Techniques
  • Analyze MBSE Artifacts
  • Develop systems engineering models


Who Should Attend
This course is intended for practicing systems engineers, payload principle investigators, subsystem engineers or project managers involved in any phase of the space mission lifecycle who are curious about application of MBSE to their projects.

Testimonials
“The course content, methods of instruction and exercises were fantastic! The instructor was engaging and extremely knowledgeable. Great balance of instruction and practical application.”
“The course provided a good review of systems engineering principles especially with respect to requirements definition. The instructors displayed both SE knowledge and the ability to reinforce that knowledge with relevant stories and visuals.”
