What is MBSE?

February 24, 2025

Summary 

In the second episode of Applied Imperative, we dive into Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), exploring its significance in modern engineering practices. Our expert guest, Mark Sampson, MBSE Evangelist, shares his extensive experience in the field, highlighting the evolution from traditional document-based methods to a model-centric approach. The discussion emphasizes the importance of cross-domain collaboration and the challenges posed by complex systems integration. Real-world examples illustrate the necessity of MBSE in preventing repeated engineering problems and ensuring effective communication among various engineering disciplines. 

 

Takeaways 

  • Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is essential for modern engineering. 
  • Cross-domain collaboration is crucial to avoid integration issues. 
  • Traditional document-based practices are no longer sufficient. 
  • Models provide a real-time view of system interactions. 
  • Silos in decision-making lead to repeated engineering problems. 
  • Understanding relationships between components is key to success. 
  • Integration challenges arise from miscommunication between teams. 
  • The complexity of systems requires a shift to model-based practices. 
  • MBSE helps in managing the exponential growth of software lines of code. 
  • Real-world examples demonstrate the effectiveness of MBSE.
