Model Based Systems Engineering

Based on the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is the formalised application of modelling to support the systems in their whole life cycle, which includes requirements, design, analysis, verification, and validation. The MBSE focuses on creating ‘domain models’ as the primary means of information rather than document-based information exchange. MBSE is widely used for supporting: 1) requirements management, including mission engineering perspectives, 2) supply chain resilience modelling and obsolescence management, and 3) assessing and characterising cybersecurity attack surfaces and kill chains.

In this course, we will cover the fundamentals of MBSE, including but not limited to MBSE definition, the benefits of MBSE over traditional systems engineering, valuable tools to practice MBSE, and why it is essential for industries to adapt systems engineering. Some basic understanding of Systems Engineering is desirable but not essential.

Duration: 2 Days

Delivery Mode: Live simulcast online course delivered over Teams.

What you will receive

UNSW Canberra certificate of completion/attendance
Masters credit: UNSW Canberra allows students who have successfully completed a minimum of 12 days of approved professional education courses to use those courses as credit in eligible postgraduate programs.

Who should attend

This course is a “Fundamental” level MBSE to get you started on principles and tools and is designed for anyone who is new to Defence Capability Positions or Industry Professionals seeking to gain a baseline understanding of MBSE. The content in this course can be applied to a range of industry sectors with a desire to operate within Defence Systems, including Naval/Maritime Systems, Aviation, Army, as well as Transport, other Government, Logistics, Manufacturing, Information Technology, Security and more. It is desirable that the candidates have some basic understanding of Systems Engineering. However, the fundamentals of Systems Engineering will be covered throughout the course. This course is a first in a suite of courses targeted toward building MBSE competency from Basic to Advanced. The course will use software freely available by open source and education license.
