Abstract:  

MBSE is not a tool, but a methodology that improves communication and collaboration between stakeholders during all phases of the lifecycle of a system, reducing risks, costs and shortening schedule. Key to this methodology is the integration of models, both descriptive (SysML) as well as analytical and simulation models used to inform design decisions. During this presentation, you’ll be provided with an overview of the Ansys MBSE framework that addresses the needs of organizations undertaking Digital Transformation, as well as practical demos and use cases from industry.

Bio

Henrique is an Account Manager focused on Ansys MBSE solutions which include ModelCenter (model-to-model integration, process automation), SCADE (model-based embedded software development) and medini (model-based safety & reliability analysis). His role comprises communicating the value of a model-based approach, connecting technical resources to customer needs as well as facilitating deployment and adoption of Digital Engineering ecosystems.

Henrique has a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Kentucky and a combined 5 years of technical and sales experience in support of integrating Systems Architecture (SysML) models to simulation and analytical workflows for a comprehensive MBSE methodology.

It's not what you teach, it's what you assess

Courtney Wright

Dec 16, 2022
The title of this blog is a statement I make to every professor who asks me about Academic Equivalency. Unlike the dean, your colleagues, your students, and their future employers, I don't care what you lecture about. I don't need to know if you explain the difference between verification and validation, or if you expect your students to know that already. What I care about is whether you assess their knowledge.

I also don't have a strong preference on how you verify their knowledge. I hope you verify their knowledge in a way that is customized to their domain knowledge, giving them project assignments relevant to their past or future work. I hope you assess them in a language used commonly in their community, not necessarily English. We already have a generic, English-language assessment of systems engineers' general knowledge of the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook. That assessment is our INCOSE knowledge exam. We created the Academic Equivalency (AcEq) Program so that you can bring us alternate assessment methods. 

The process of a university professor applying for AcEq is that he or she starts by expressing interesting through our SmartSheet form, then maps their coursework to our INCOSE list of learning objects used for our knowledge exam. The professor then tells us which class activities assess against those same objectives. If we agree that the classroom assessments are sufficient, we approve the equivalency. 

There are some administrative hoops to jump through, too. Get more explanation at INCOSE webinar 162, How to Apply for Academic Equivalency.
