4. The MDE Diploma, a proposed curriculum in Model Driven Engineering MDE in a nutshell Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is changing the way we build, we operate, and we maintain our software-intensive systems. MDE provides a new conceptual framework and a set of tools to separate and to combine the multiple aspects and views present in modern complex systems. Several projects using MDE practices are reporting significant improvements in quality and performance.
