Requirements
No prior experience with system modeling is required for those enrolling in this course; however, students should possess a strong command of “document-centric” systems engineering practices.

The examples were very helpful to grasp the concept. The lecture was a good background but not enough to really understand and learn so the examples were great to piece it all together.
