The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental examination evaluates the knowledge and skills necessary to develop a basic SysML model of a system. This exam covers key areas such as model concepts and organization, fundamental requirements capture and management, structure and behavior models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the use of stereotypes. With the knowledge and skills assessed at this level, along with proficiency in a suitable SysML modeling tool, individuals holding the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be effective contributors to modeling tasks undertaken by Systems Engineering teams using a model-based systems engineering approach with SysML. The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification is a prerequisite for the program’s two advanced levels and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its own prerequisite. This examination, along with others in the OCSMP series, assesses your ability to apply the knowledge and skills listed here within the context of a system model. As you prepare, it is important to extend your understanding beyond each individual diagram to grasp how modeled aspects can influence or affect elements represented in other diagram types, ensuring comprehensive and integrated modeling for government applications.

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.
