Abstract

Over the past years information and communication technology has evolved with an increasing speed - new technologies, systems, applications are released faster than ever. However, to be successful in their lifecycle, systems need to be carefully modelled beforehand to mitigate several risks a new product or application launch might hinder, biggest of them of course the risk of failure. This sets strong prerequisites and expectations towards young engineers, and on teaching future system engineers. In this paper we address the issues of teaching systems modelling in SysML and UML for students of Computer and Systems Engineering curriculum together with problems encountered.
