Context

SysML 101/201 is a quick-start survey short course that provides intro-level hands-on experience with the SysML language (including its applications to MBSE/MBX).

The following GTPE page provides a course summary and official registration information for the online SysML 101/201 combined course (DEF 4545):

  • SysML 101/201 BLS page on GTPE web site (online combo offering)
  • NOTE: Registration links may not be shown for all anticipated future offerings. GTPE usually releases the registration link for a particular offering approximately 2-3 months before the start date.

The following GTPE pages provide course summaries and official registration information for the in-person SysML 101/201 courses (DEF 4508 and DEF 4509, noting participants are required to take both courses during the same week):

  • SysML 101 page on GTPE web site (offered in-person combined with SysML 201 during the same week)
  • SysML 201 page on GTPE web site (offered in-person combined with SysML 101 during the same week)
  • NOTE: Registration links may not be shown for all anticipated future offerings. GTPE usually releases the registration link for a particular offering approximately 2-3 months before the start date.

Notes

[1]  In this "hands-on" SysML 201 course, we typically use MagicDraw as a representative SysML tool. We have worked with all the major SysML tools, and this course will give you a foundation to get started with other tools as well.

Even if your organization's primary tool is not MagicDraw, we recommend our SysML 201 course for your key SysML/MBE/MBSE people. Experience has shown this approach gives practitioners a broader SysML perspective and better insight regarding what to expect from your current SysML tool.  One useful learning technique is contrasting and seeing something from a different perspective (in this case via a different tool implementation). This method truly helps SysML/MBE/MBSE professionals understand the technology more fully.

For example, we recently delivered these courses using MagicDraw onsite at an aerospace firm that has a different primary SysML tool (what we will call "Tool X" here).  Several people took these courses who are Tool X "power users" and leads for promoting MBSE/SysML in their organization. At multiple points in the course they made comments to the effect of "I did not know SysML can support [concept Y] like that", "How do you do that in Tool X?", and so on. In other words, their view of SysML/MBSE was rather filtered by the specific SysML capabilities and philosophy of Tool X.
 
Resulting benefits for such users include (a) they gain a better perspective how to approach implementing more concepts in their primary tool (subject to its capabilities, and possible work-around strategies), and (b) they can better envision and formulate specific desired features to request that Tool X support in future versions.
 
Thus, we recommend to all non-MagicDraw-user organizations that they send selected SysML/MBE/MBSE "power users" and leads to take these short courses.
