System Architecture and Modeling Competition
Attention all Engineers and Systems Engineers
We are excited to announce our System Architecture and Modeling Competition. This is a chance for you to showcase your skills and creativity as you design and build a solution to a real-world problem. Don’t miss this opportunity to put your MBSE skills to the test and win recognition as one of the world’s best systems modelers!
Participants will be able to choose their preferred tool and modeling methodology. All contestants will be given the same problem and amount of time to develop an MBSE model in response to the problem. Awards will be given out in several categories. This competition is about recognizing not just “modeling” skill but also the individuals and teams that can come up with the most innovative solutions in a set amount of time. This competition will challenge not just your mastery of a tool and modeling methodology but also your systems thinking skills, innovation abilities, creativity, and ability to work under pressure.
We are looking to give the best systems engineers an opportunity to achieve industry & domain-wide recognition of your knowledge and skill in using MBSE to develop innovative system solutions.
Possible topics include autonomous systems, clean energy, environmental issues or anything that seems interesting, relevant, and exciting in today’s world.
