ABOUT THIS COURSE
This is the third course in the four-course program Architecture and Systems Engineering: Models and Methods to Manage Complex Systems. You may take this course separately.
This online course introduces students to the intent, representations, and functions of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Students will create MBSE representations of a system, and they will articulate the purpose of the representations. From this foundation of MBSE, the course will transition to a discussion of the management challenges of MBSE – model repositories, model curation, and model integration. Students will analyze best practices of MBSE in industry through case studies, which will enable them to develop judgment about what functions are possible to accomplish with MBSE.
Who is this course for?
This course is especially relevant for those in aerospace, automotive, and defense industries, and engineers at original equipment manufacturers (OEM). It’s also designed for systems engineering professionals, directors and senior managers across a number of industries looking to innovate and optimize their operational, manufacturing, and design systems. Departmental teams are encouraged to apply.
Key Features
- Identify the core tenets of MBSE and the situations in which it is recommended
- Distinguish the differences between MBSE and traditional systems engineering
- Identify the different uses and overlaps in functionality between modeling languages
- Describe stakeholder requirements analytically
- Allocate behavior to components
- Develop use cases and scenarios for a product
- Choose the appropriate language in which to model a system
- Detect errors in someone else’s SysML model
- Build a model curation plan
- Curate a model: update frequency, stable interfaces, data entry, standards
- Set model end of life criteria
- Produce and critique OPM diagrams
- Build project development team
- Choose vendors for requirements and configuration management
- Produce and critique SysML diagrams for a system
- Run a requirements management process over a system life-cycle
- Lead an interface management process
- Methodologically select appropriate systems engineering approaches
- Explain system modes over life-cycle of project
