What can Attendees Expect to Learn

 Attendees will understand the purpose and benefits of UAF from multiple stakeholder viewpoints: Systems Engineer, Manager, Enterprise Architect, Mission Engineer, and Acquisition Engineer. Given the timeframe of the tutorial, the emphasis will not be on detailed syntax, but how UAF provides benefits to stakeholders. Some short exercises will emphasize the benefits of the motivational model as well as capability-based engineering. Attendees will also learn the impact of SysML v2 on systems engineering in general as well as UAF.
