Model-Based Systems Engineering

Training Center Classroom

Communication barriers of any kind can lead to serious misunderstandings and consequences. For a supplier, communication barriers across multi-disciplined product design teams can lead to increasingly problematic—and costly—consequences the further along the design cycle a product is. What does Model-Based Systems Engineering (MSBE) bring to this scenario?


If you haven’t already heard of MSBE (or even if you want a one-stop shop to brush up on it), this classroom is designed for you. Learn the basics of MBSE and how it has begun to replace other systems engineering concepts. Move on to real-life applications of MBSE in transportation and mil-aero, then immerse yourself in digital twins, digital threads, and object-oriented systems engineering. And since we know you’ll have bumped into many acronyms along the way in all of these tutorials, we offer up a cheat-cheat of sorts.


It also makes a great bookmark.
