Requirements
No prior experience with system modelling is necessary for students to join this course; however, a strong command of “document-centric” systems engineering techniques is required.

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.
