Abstract
We describe and compare two new courses on model-based approaches to the engineering of Digital Twins. One course was delivered to doctoral students from a range of largely non-computational backgrounds, and the other to Masters students with computing experience. We describe the goals, content and delivery of the courses, and review experience gained to date. Key lessons focus on the importance of providing common baselines for participants coming from diverse technical backgrounds.
