Description

This course provides a clear and structured introduction to Model-Based Design (MBD) and its role in modern engineering workflows, especially within the automotive industry.

If you are new to Model-Based Design or feel confused about where to start, this course is designed to guide you step by step from the fundamentals to a complete understanding of how MBD is used in real-world projects.

You will begin by understanding the core concepts behind Model-Based Design, including what a “model” actually represents and how it differs from traditional embedded systems development. The course also explains how MBD integrates with software architecture and system-level thinking, giving you a broader engineering perspective.

As you progress, you will explore the Model-Based Design process, including the V-Model and different modeling approaches used in industry. You will also get an overview of the most commonly used tools, such as MATLAB and Simulink, and understand how they fit into the development workflow.

In addition, the course introduces the automotive market context, helping you understand where and how Model-Based Design is applied in real projects. You will also learn the basics of validation and testing, including an overview of In-the-Loop testing (MIL, SIL, HIL).

Finally, the course covers essential modeling guidelines and best practices that will help you build structured and maintainable models.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation in Model-Based Design and a clear roadmap on how to continue your learning journey and apply MBD in academic projects or professional work.

This course is ideal for engineering students, fresh graduates, and engineers who want to enter the field of Model-Based Design with a clear and practical understanding.
