Applied Model-Based Systems Engineering
Short course (Online) by TSTI · POA
This 3-4 day tailorable course provides a broad introduction to the what, why and how of the processes, practices, tools and techniques that comprise the emerging discipline of model-based systems engineering (MBSE). The course makes extensive use of “learn by doing” through hands-on exercises. The focus is on six central themes that comprise the unique advantages MBSE offers—Capturing, Connecting, Controlling, Communicating, Collaborating and Cycling. The current state of modeling languages (UML, SYSML, LML, and others), ontologies, architectural frameworks and tools are examined. From this foundation, the course then focuses on examining each key part of systems engineering–Design, Manage, and Realize. Participants are guided through how to build a system model “from scratch” leveraging design patterns and other techniques. A “graduation exercise” asks participants to build their own model for a system of their choice. With over 3,000 alumni, this course is designed for practicing systems engineers, payload principle investigators, subsystem engineers or project managers involved with any phase of the space mission life cycle who are curious about application of MBSE to their projects.

Integrated CubeSAT Engineering Workshop
Short course (Online) by TSTI · POA
This 4 or 5 day tailorable course examines the application of Systems Engineering tools and techniques that will provide participants with the necessary skills, industry standards, information, and tools necessary to plan and implement a credible CubeSat Development Program. Emphasis is on practice over theory using a fully-functional (hardware and software) desktop (non-flight) CubeSat as the system of interest. Using the 3U EssentialSAT (ESat) desktop satellite, the course follows the progression of a hypothetical CubeSat mission – NanoMet-2 – designed to deliver large scale meteorological imagery from LEO. NanoMet-2 serves as an end-to- end systems engineering and project management training platform to examine issues that develop during each phase of a project lifecycle. The course is organized along the the lines of a real space mission, starting with Pre-Phase A concept development and then progressing from Phase A to D, introducing systems engineering artifacts that would be developed at each major milestone and providing hands-on examples using the NanoMet mission. NanoMet, based on the ESat platform, is designed to conform to the 3U CubeSat standard in terms of form and fit and includes all standard spacecraft bus functions (power, data handling, communication, and attitude determination and control). All hardware was designed to be for use around the world and is “ITARfree,” (it is not space qualified or even qualifiable). Participants are provided with key lectures and resources including design tools and model-based systems engineering (MBSE). Through a variety of in-class exercises and hands-on activities they will learn by doing. This course is designed for systems engineers, project managers, integrated product team members involved with any aspect of system engineering and analysis, especially design and development, test and evaluation CubeSats.
