Model-Based Systems and Software Engineering (MBSSE) Fundamentals Training by Tonex
This workshop introduces participants to the principles, tools, and techniques of Model-Based Systems and Software Engineering (MBSSE). Participants will gain practical insights into how modeling supports systems thinking, systems integration, software development, and verification activities throughout the lifecycle.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the foundational principles of MBSE and MBSSE.
- Apply SysML and UML modeling standards for system and software representation.
- Use modeling to bridge systems and software development processes.
- Design and analyze system architectures using MBSE tools.
- Understand traceability, verification, and validation via modeling.
- Identify how MBSSE supports agile and V-model-based lifecycles.
Target Audience:
- Systems Engineers
- Software Engineers
- System Architects
- Technical Project Managers
- Quality Assurance Engineers
- Product Designers and Developers
Prerequisites:
