This paper presents an education-oriented, model-based framework for aeronautical engineering training, combining Systems Engineering principles with real-world, industry-driven project contexts. The approach emphasizes Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) as an enabling structure to integrate multidisciplinary knowledge, requirements thinking, and innovation practices. A university-based case illustrates how project-driven learning supported by MBSE can enhance systems thinking, engineering integration, and workforce readiness for future aircraft development.
