Enterprise Architecture in the UAF

This course assumes that students already have fundamental knowledge of SysML, or UML, and have experience using an MBSE tool, preferably Cameo EA / MagicDraw. While this course will provide reviews on diagrams, elements, and relationships, the lectures and demos around these basic topics will be taught at an expedited pace and students with no experience will likely have trouble keeping up.

Intended Audience:

• Systems Engineers involved in architecture modeling and system design.
• Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Practitioners.

Students will learn each aspect and viewpoint within UAF 1.2 and will learn how to build the requisite views within the Cameo tool suite. This course focuses on the differing fundamental principles between EA and MBSE and teaches students how to integrate these distinct disciplines.
