How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the enrolment period, which makes it possible to combine the course with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is R&S ELEKTRA, CST Studio Suite, Ansys HFSS, MATLAB, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for semi-anechoic EMC chambers, measurements with line impedance stabilisation networks (LISN), and BCI immunity tests. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Explain electromagnetic compatibility phenomena in the vehicle.
Describe the facilities and measuring equipment required by CISPR 25.
Carry out conducted and radiated emission measurements.
Apply PCB, wiring and filtering design rules for EMC.
Plan immunity, transient and ESD tests.
