How can engineers solve complex problems before they happen? Dale Goulding interviews Mark Sampson, MBSE evangelist, about the shift from document-based engineering to model-based systems engineering (MBSE). They explore how MBSE enables cross-domain collaboration, tackles system complexity, and helps teams avoid repeated mistakes. Mark shares real-world insights that show why a model-centric approach is key to modern engineering success.

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.
