Model-Based Systems Engineering Foundations and Applications to the Production Enterprise
A multidisciplinary team of faculty, staff, and students at Purdue University has developed a series of seven online instructional modules entitled Model-Based Systems Engineering Foundations and Applications to the Production Enterprise. The modules were developed under a Production Engineering Education and Research grant from the National Science Foundation. Module content was selected to help meet industry's needs for a workforce prepared to perform efficiently in a model-based digital enterprise, especially in a production engineering context.
The project team is making a PDF version of the printed materials used in the instructional modules available to the public under a Creative Commons license. For each of the seven modules, the printed materials include a syllabus, an outline of topics with learning objectives for each topic, and slides used to present the topics. If a module contains additional information such as case studies or notes for an instructor using the materials in a class, those are included in the printed materials.
The names of the seven modules and links to the materials for each module are provided below:
Engineering a System with SysML – Module 2A
SysML Implementation and Applications – Module 2B
Quantitative Statistical Methods Supporting MBSE – Module 3
Production Engineering and MBSE – Module 4
Digital Engineering and the Model-Based Enterprise – Module 5
MBSE Capstone Project – Module 6
