Handbook

This course familiarizes systems engineering students with all the related concepts and practices of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). The course starts with an introduction to System Modeling Language (SysML), covering its diagrams, and prototypes. Approximately half of the course is devoted to SysML with the remaining focused on methodologies for creating system models including top-down and bottom-up modeling approaches. In particular Object-Oriented Systems Engineering Methodology (OOSEM), as a top down methodology, will be discussed in detail which includes creating the required artifacts for analyzing stakeholder needs, defining system requirements, defining logical architectures, synthesizing candidate allocated architectures, optimizing and evaluating alternatives, and validating and verifying the system. The course includes several tutorials with practical system examples using Enterprise Architecture software package
