Foundations and Practice of MBSE & SysML (APPEL-MBSEFP)

This course guides NASA Technical Workforce members to become an effective, efficient modelers. You will gain a working knowledge of the MBSE skills necessary to build effective SysML models for NASA. This course teaches the most essential syntax for all nine diagram types in SysML and provides you with hands-on, guided practice in building them. We will build a cohesive, non-trivial model “from scratch” to ensure that you have all three competencies necessary to be an effective system modeling professional: language, tool, and application. We learn how fundamental systems engineering tools enable the successful planning and execution of a SysML model. You will gain practical experience in modeling behavior, structure, requirements, and parametrics. You will understand how the diagrams across the four pillars of SysML are related and how to create and communicate effective system architectures using a robust process that implements MBSE and SysML. For relevancy, we will spotlight appropriate NASA models, cases, and examples from different centers.
