About the Course
Model based engineering (MBE), and the related concept of model based systems engineering (MBSE), are areas of interest for many engineering organisations. MBE is seen as a way of better handling the increasing product complexity.
This course is delivered in three modules split over several sessions.
The International Council of Systems Engineers (INCOSE) outlined a compelling case for MBE in their Vision 2035 report. Vision 2035 outlined the key challenge facing engineering developing as ever increasing product complexity.
This increase in complexity is occurring against a backdrop of ever increasing social expectations (safety, security, reliability, environmental concerns) and within a world of diminishing resources (scarcity of skilled engineers, limited time-to-market, reduced product development funding, diminishing raw materials).
MBE is seen as one of the key means for tackling these challenges; enabling engineers organisations to become more efficient and productive when working in an increasingly complex world.
One of the key challenges wit MBE is getting started. MBE is a large and complex subject and comes with a high barrier to entry. This challenge is often exacerbated by there being very limited training on offer on the subject of MBE.
Often the training that exists is provided by tool vendors or consultants with limited practical experience of using MBE in the real world. Adiuvo have significant experience of using MBE techniques across a range of complex defence and aerospace projects. Adiuvo are therefore please to be able to offer a range of MBE training courses that aim to lower the barrier for entry to MBSE.
