Training area
Systems architecture and design training covers turning requirements into a solution: functional and logical architecture, physical design, interfaces, and the trade studies used to choose between alternatives. Some courses teach architecting with a modelling language such as SysML; others focus on design principles and engineering decision-making. The training is used by systems engineers and architects, design leads, and engineers moving into architecture roles. Courses listed here include architecture-focused courses and broader systems engineering courses that cover architecture as one part of the lifecycle.
