Requirements
Participants are not required to have prior experience in system modeling; however, they should possess a strong understanding of 'document-centric' systems engineering techniques.

The examples were very helpful to grasp the concept. The lecture was a good background but not enough to really understand and learn so the examples were great to piece it all together.
