Statement of Work SysML Training Course Background: Over the last couple of year Port Hueneme Division has hired 600 new employees, many of those are engineers and technicians that work in the technical work parts of our organization. Therefore, it is a priority that we train our newly hired technical work staff on the concepts of system modeling language for modeling and validation. Requirement: Course Length: 3 days Location: Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division Number of Students: 20 Objective: The objective of this class would be to introduce the workforce to state-of the-art methodology of Model -based systems engineering, which uniquely traces systems operation and requirements to system function and design specifications. Prerequisites: Participants of this class should have technical knowledge on how to read and interpret technical documentation. Topics for discussion include: - Understand basic terminology associated with model-based systems engineering - Gain a basic understanding on how to read and understand System Modeling Language (SysML). - Review system/sub-system requirements and designs which are documented - Be able to create analysis and design models using SysML - Understand the complete system-modeling lifecycle from requirements to validation of the system. Methods of learning: This training should be conducted through an immersive interactive workshop to include live presentations that help students walk through the SysML documentation process. Textbooks, case studies, and course assessments should be included. Target Audience: This course is intended for individuals who have a need to work in SysML. These employees include Engineers and Technicians. Technical Evaluation Criteria: - Technical- Does the proposal meet our command's training objective? - Past Performance-List relevant customers with references Period of Performance: ARO-30 Sep 2017 Training Date: Workforce Development will work with the selected vendor to schedule a training date.
