The Systems Engineering course invites to a guest Lecture on Model based Systems Engineering (MBSE) as an indispensable Asset for a Digital Enterprise Strategy with Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Heinz Stoewer.
When: October 17, 2014
Where: Hypercube, Skokovo Innovation Center
What:
Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is the most important advent for System Engineering in past decades. It represents an important avenue for the future of the profession.
While it appears new and innovative it is in fact the consequence of progress made in computing, simulation, virtualization and modelling. It largely parallels developments in other engineering disciplines and beyond.
Looking at advances in the digital technologies and IT business one can observe new capabilities to deal with complexity and data management across most industries.
This lecture will introduce the basics of MBSE and sketch its applicability and status. It will highlight some of the trends towards what some call the 4th digital revolution and show that MBSE is part of this trend. It will outline a path forward and identify some of the objectives to be pursued to mature this new SE capability.
