I'm also looking into this. I'm active duty military trying to get some more engineering experience to apply for test pilot school down the road. From what I have read the courses do not grant any MIT credits and I am not sure how it would be received from employers (or in my case the military) as a reliable gauge for knowledge of systems engineering. I personally agree with you the classes look great, and I would love to learn more about the program before enrolling. I'm also hoping this will help later for applying to engineering grad school.

It's part of the Architecture and Systems Engineering certificate program. It's a good program if you don't have any background or experience in systems engineering. You'll get a certificate as soon as you complete it and another for the whole program. If you already do have SE background and experience and only want the MBSE knowledge, check out Delligatti Associates OCSMP Accelerator course instead. It'll prepare you for the OCSMP Model User and Model Builder Fundamental certificate exams. The course focuses on SysML and is not tool-specific. Alternatively, Studio SE has the MBSE masterclass. INCOSE course would prepare you for the SEP exam, but you'll still need to pass the exam. It requires a lot of memorization of the handbook and doesn't depend on experience. It all depends on what your objective is and your experience and background. If you want to work in MBSE, INCOSE won't help as much as the OCSMP certs, outdated as they are. But if you're aiming for a traditional SE role, go for INCOSE ASEP. More on reddit.com

I completed the whole professional certificate. It was extremely interesting and worth it. You have very interesting readings, interviews, concepts very well explained and the best subject matter experts/professors teaching their core topics. I would take this training before taking a OMG focused training which would be very MBSE-oriented. One thing I learned during the MITx certificate is you need to understand when to model a system and how important it is to keep it credible. In other words, the MITx training is focused on training a systems engineer thinking while a OMG training focuses on MBSE. I hope this helps a tiny bit. More on reddit.com

I took it this year and it's worth it if your company will sponsor you. I would not reccomend paying out of pocket for it unless you have 2500 dollars to spend. Also depends on what your reason is for taking it. Like where are you at in your career. Are you trying to get into the field? Skip it and do your level 1 & 2 ocsmp. More on reddit.com
