Course - AI Assisted MBSE with SysML

Ms Malavika is a very good trainer. Very hard working and answering my queries well. I understand that scope for SysML and EA is very vast, she tried her best to present the training in the most suitable way. She has even spent her break time looking for answers to our queries. My respect! A great teacher!

Course - System Engineering using SysML and UML 2

I mostly liked his subject knowledge and style.

Giacomo Urso
Course - Systems Modelling with SysML

I found the course structure to be very well thought out. While some of my colleagues failed to see Kristin's intentions I feel that the way he presented the material and managed to connect basic concepts with a much broader set of complex issues was spot on.
