SE 404 Model-Based Systems Engineering

This course provides an in-depth understanding of Model-Based Systems Engineering principles, methods, and tools. System complexity is continually increasing, demanding more rigorous approaches to modeling. Document-based approaches become cumbersome with large-scale systems, and a model-based approach helps to manage complexity better, improve quality, and lower cycle time. This course addresses modeling of the system description as well as its functions using Systems Modeling Language. This formal modeling language supports all aspects of the systems engineering process from specification through verification and is applicable across a broad range of industries. Students will learn to develop and utilize models to represent, analyze, and model complex systems, enabling effective systems engineering practices. Topics include modeling languages, model representation, requirements analysis, system architecture, verification and validation, and integration with system development.
