Course Length: 20 hours

Prerequisite: MBSE Fundamentals I

Course Description: 
The Fundamentals II course is designed to deepen participants’ understanding of Systems Modeling and to build on the skills developed in the Fundamentals I course. This 20-hour instructor-led course introduces four additional SysML diagrams—use case diagrams (UCs), internal block diagrams (IBDs), sequence diagrams (SEQs), and state machine diagrams (STMs)—and shows how and when to apply them across the system development lifecycle. By learning how to represent system structure, flows, and dynamic behaviors, participants will gain the ability to create richer, more connected models that provide greater insight into system performance and design trade-offs.

This course emphasizes practical application through hands-on exercises in Cameo. Students will learn to transform stakeholder needs into use cases and concepts of operations, capture the flow of matter, information, and energy through IBDs, and model system interactions and transitions through SEQs and STMs. The training highlights not only how to create these diagrams, but also how to integrate them into existing models, strengthening design consistency and communication across engineering teams.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to construct more detailed and interconnected SysML models that enhance collaboration, improve efficiency, and support higher-quality engineering outcomes.

Course Objectives:

• Use hands-on modeling to build an additional four SysML diagram types: UCs, IBDs, SEQs, and STMs
• Understand when to use each of these new diagrams in the system lifecycle
• Learn to transform stakeholder needs into requirements, a Concept of Operations, and use cases
• Represent system structure and flows using IBDs
• Capture system interactions with SEQs and state transitions with STMs
• Integrate new diagrams into existing models for greater cohesion and insight
