Requirements
Participants should possess a foundational grasp of systems engineering principles, such as requirements management, system architecture, and behavioral dynamics. While experience with SysML v1.x or UML is advantageous, it is not a mandatory requirement. No prior expertise in SysML v2 or programming is necessary; however, users must be at ease working within a text editor environment.
Target Audience
This course is designed for systems engineers, MBSE practitioners, system and software architects, product engineers, technical business analysts, and current SysML v1.x users aiming to enhance their practical modeling capabilities in SysML v2.
