Requirements
A foundational grasp of systems engineering principles, including requirements management, system structure, and behaviour, is expected. While familiarity with SysML v1.x or UML is advantageous, it is not mandatory. Prior knowledge of SysML v2 or programming experience is not required; however, participants should feel comfortable working within a text editor.
Audience
This course is tailored for systems engineers, MBSE practitioners, system and software architects, product engineers, technical business analysts, and SysML v1.x users seeking to acquire hands-on SysML v2 modelling skills.
