In addition to these frameworks a comparative Frameworks overview is provided to allow students to explore differences, similarities as well as recognized patterns between the required DODAF and FEAF frameworks. Lastly, it will need to provide required understanding of how to apply several different required modeling languages such as BPMN, SysML, IDEF and others.
