Evaluation of SysML software for teaching systems engineering basics

Systems engineering is a discipline providing means to realization of complex systems and systems-of-systems. Tomorrows engineers have to able to work with and develop very complex systems. Therefore, courses following systems engineering principles should to be included in engineering curricula. Undoubtedly, system modelling skills are a necessary know-how for future engineers. SysML is a relatively new modeling language for system engineering applications. In this paper we provide an overview of different SysML modelling tools and provide our suggestions for choosing the suitable tool for educational purposes.
