How you'll learn
100 % online training on the SEIUM Institute campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, 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 SolidWorks, Miro, OpenLCA, advanced Excel, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Assessments are based on real procedures from participatory design workshops, life cycle assessments of prototypes and prototyping in a university laboratory. Assessment is continuous per module plus a final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Describe the characteristics of mobile bases as a research subject.
Apply people-centred design methodologies to deployable infrastructure.
Assess the environmental impact and sustainability of modular solutions.
Identify security and data protection risks in associated technologies.
Analyse the responsibilities involved in transferring research results to the defence sector.
