Requirements
While prior knowledge of SysML v2 or programming is unnecessary, a foundational grasp of systems engineering principles—such as requirements, system architecture, and behavior—is beneficial. Experience with SysML v1.x or UML is advantageous but not mandatory. Learners should feel at ease working within a text editor environment.
Target Audience
This course is designed for systems engineers, MBSE specialists, system and software architects, product engineers, technical business analysts, and existing SysML v1.x users seeking to acquire practical proficiency in SysML v2 modeling.
