Requirements
Participants should possess a foundational understanding of systems engineering principles, including requirements management, system architecture, and behavioral modeling. Familiarity with SysML v1.x or UML is advantageous but not mandated. No prior experience with SysML v2 or programming is necessary; however, participants must be proficient in utilizing textual editing environments for government documentation.
Target Audience
The course is tailored for Systems Engineers, MBSE Practitioners, System and Software Architects, Product Engineers, Technical Business Analysts, and existing SysML v1.x users seeking to enhance their practical SysML v2 modeling capabilities for government contexts.
