SysML 1.5 made practical with Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect

This training course is aimed at Systems Engineers who want to quickly gain a proficiency in the use of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect (EA) to create system models using the Systems Modelling Language (SysML).

The course covers an overview of the Systems Engineering process, how UML and SysML differ, the complete SysML modelling notation and how to use SysML with EA.

Course Details

Duration: Twelve hours minimum is recommended to complete this content, but as pace is set by the participant it will differ from person to person.

Prerequisites: Participants should have some prior knowledge of the tool. Participants will need access to an instance of Enterprise Architect to work through the practical exercises within this content.
