Model-Based System Engineering Coursework

MIT xPRO | Architecture and Systems Engineering: Models and Methods of Complex Systems

This page highlights selected coursework and certificates from my MIT xPRO systems engineering program. The coursework focuses on model-based systems engineering, system architecture, requirements analysis, verification and validation, model credibility, and quantitative decision-making for complex systems.

The program connects directly to my professional experience supporting complex electromechanical systems by strengthening how I approach system decomposition, interface definition, requirements traceability, stakeholder needs, and system-level verification.

Coursework Structure

Each course page includes a certificate, course overview, key topics, selected public-facing coursework artifacts, tools or methods applied, and a short reflection on how the course connects to systems engineering practice. The coursework is presented as a portfolio extension rather than a transcript, with emphasis on systems thinking, requirements traceability, model-based documentation, verification and validation, and engineering decision-making.

Featured Applied Coursework

  • Manned Research Submersible MBSE Application — requirements analysis, system decomposition, activity modeling, interface analysis, emergency ascent behavior, and verification/validation planning.

  • STS-107 Model Credibility Analysis — model fidelity, credibility, uncertainty, and safety-critical decision-making.

  • Balloon Flight Quantitative Analysis — spreadsheet-based performance analysis, assumptions, and system behavior evaluation.
