Model Based Systems Engineering with Sparx EA
A 1-week intensive course for Systems Architects and Solution Developers
Overview
Model Based Systems Engineering is a course intended for practicing systems engineers who want to learn how to apply model-driven systems engineering practices using the UML Profile for Systems Engineering (OMG SysML™). You will apply systems engineering principles in developing a comprehensive model of a solution using modern systems engineering development tools and a development methodology. This course provides students with a hands-on opportunity for learning how to develop systems engineering models using the Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect.
This isn’t a theory course, or just a tools course – you will learn how to use industry standards (SysML) and world class modeling tools to do real model-based systems engineering. Whether you are new to the systems architecture profession, a hardware or software developer seeking to grow your skills or a solution architect working on a specific system deliverable, this course can help you be more productive and accelerate time to value for your organization. You use skills, standards, best practices and tools together to do your job, why not learn them all at one time in one integrated package.
