Audience

• Designers
• Developers
• Mechanical Engineers

Format of the Course

• A combination of lectures, discussions, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice to ensure a comprehensive learning experience for government professionals.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of building and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2. Through a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and interactive labs, participants will gain a solid foundation in the principles and practices essential for government applications. The curriculum is designed to align with public sector workflows, governance, and accountability standards.

This instructor-led, live training in US (online or onsite) is aimed at designers, mechanical engineers, and other professionals who wish to learn how to create 3D models suitable for construction or 3D printing.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Develop printable 3D models that meet precise specifications.
• Utilize geometric transformations to construct intricate 3D shapes.
• Model in a non-interactive manner using concise lines of code, enhancing efficiency and accuracy for government projects.

Objective:

To assist analysts and designers in the System Engineering domain in effectively gathering requirements and progressing through the embedded software design implementation based on system specifications using UML 2 and SysML.

This three-day training is designed to support system analysts in clearly articulating their needs and enabling designers to create appropriate architectural designs for government systems based on these requirements.

The resulting system architecture enhances agility in the embedded system software, making it more adaptable to changes. It ensures coherent traceability from the business rules encapsulated in system functions to the usage choices (use cases) of end-users, all the way down to the software implementation level for government applications.

This course is offered in two variants to provide a practical understanding of how systems can be modeled using the latest version of OMG's Systems Modeling Language (SysML) specification. The notation and underlying semantics of SysML are explained in a manner that enables students to apply what they learn to any suitable system modeling method or tool for government use.

In this instructor-led, live training in US (online or onsite), participants will learn how to utilize SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) for conducting system requirements analysis and modeling. By the end of this training, participants will be able to: - Understand and apply SysML to Systems Engineering projects using a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach. - Identify system requirements based on use case models. - Design and analyze system architecture, ensuring alignment with public sector workflows and governance for government.

With the rise of highly complex distributed systems, the complexity of individual systems has expanded to encompass the architectural structure of interconnected systems. This course examines the relationship between Software Architecture and Technical Enterprise Architecture, two areas that are closely intertwined but not yet fully documented. For instance, breaking down a complex monolithic system into multiple systems communicating through web services can lead to significant changes in both the new systems and their inter-architecture. This course will explore the trade-offs, common patterns, and solutions currently used for managing complexity and communication within and between these systems, with a focus on best practices for government.

The course is designed for analysts, designers, developers, testers, and project managers in the public sector. This workshop focuses on problem analysis, design, and documentation systems using UML and Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems. Throughout the training, participants will explore advanced capabilities of the program, such as MDA, profiles, and XMI, along with best practices that can significantly simplify and accelerate modeling processes for government. Since the training emphasizes the use of the Enterprise Architect tool, it is essential that participants already have a foundational knowledge of UML modeling. For those who need to learn UML, we offer dedicated training sessions specifically designed for this purpose.

The Training Method

The training method consists of 10% lecture and 90% hands-on workshop activities.

One of the fastest-growing roles in the IT industry is that of the IT Business Analyst. These professionals are essential members of IT teams across various organizations, including those in the public sector. This course offers a clear and structured guide to help Business Analysts effectively carry out their responsibilities using advanced object-oriented technology. It is designed to enhance skills and ensure alignment with best practices for government and other organizational contexts.
