How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the enrolment period, which makes it possible to combine the programme with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Ansys medini analyze, Polyspace, LDRA, Vector VectorCAST, dSPACE SCALEXIO, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Case studies are based on real procedures: hazard analysis of dynamic functions with riders, FMEDA analysis of sensors and control units, and fault injection campaigns on HIL test benches. 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.
Apply the functional safety lifecycle to two-wheeled vehicles.
Carry out hazard and risk analysis with MSIL classification.
Develop functional and technical safety concepts for dynamic controls.
Evaluate hardware architectures using quantitative metrics.
Develop software in line with safety requirements.
