This course presents the foundations of the design and management of digital threads. Students will learn the fundamental characteristics of digital engineering and related approaches such as model-based engineering, before exploring key concepts such as the digital thread and the digital twin. The course will present an approach to capture the need for a digital thread as a use case. Students will then learn the concepts of data interoperability and technical interoperability and will explore the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches that support interoperability. These concepts will include APIs, data standards, data transformations, and ontologies. The course will also present the notion of change management as a crucial consideration of digital thread design. Finally, students will be required to review these considerations in parallel and describe how a digital thread could be deployed in response to a particular problem.
