Systems Modeling & Simulation Education Program Overview

Innovation leaders realize that accurate, accessible, and trusted data is the foundation for insight and inspiration. It is also critical to recognize that the surrounding ecosystem with its various cultures and behaviors must be brought into play and linked together appropriately. This combined structure is foundational to defining and achieving sustainable innovation.

Establishing model-based approaches will support businesses in realizing their digital transformation goals and objectives. This program leverages a common systems engineering and product data model (Model-Centric Systems Engineering) model which can be implemented to reach and maintain a more competitive position.
