Course Description
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) starts with the evolution of system requirements, through to design, analysis, verification, and validation activities. In addition to MBSE, the use of systems engineering tools can contribute to product and project success. Key areas covered in this course include the model-based approach to design, systems engineering tools and a roadmap toward a model-based enterprise. Students will be able to explain the value and expectations of systems engineering and model-based systems engineering, and the underlying motivations and opportunities represented by a model-based enterprise. They will develop the knowledge necessary to perform a baseline assessment of an organization’s potential to leverage MBSE.

Marc Fricker, CD1, B.Eng, M.A.Sc earned his Bachelor's and Master's degrees at the Royal Military College of Canada, while serving with the Royal Canadian Air Force. During his 25 years of service, Marc held a number of positions, many of which involved training and education. The first such position was as an avionics systems technician, where he taught fellow technicians the systems he was qualified to repair. After earning his university degrees, he was seconded to the Canadian Space Agency where he taught astronauts how to operate and repair the CanadArm II aboard the International Space Station. Finally, he returned to the Royal Military College of Canada to teach in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department. His last posting was as a project manager for the Aurora Incremental Modernization Program, in the National Capital Region, where he oversaw the replacement of the aging computer and sensor systems of that aircraft, with new, more modern systems..png)
