How you'll learn
Fully 100% online training on the SEIUM Institute campus, with downloadable materials, 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 programme with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is MATLAB/Simulink, Simulink Test, dSPACE SCALEXIO, NI VeriStand, Vector CANoe, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Cases are studied using real validation procedures for power-split transmission controllers, back-to-back MIL and SIL testing, and fault injection on HIL benches. Assessment is continuous per 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.
Understand how power-split transmissions work.
Model power-split systems for simulation.
Apply MIL testing methodologies.
Verify code through SIL and PIL testing.
Configure HIL benches for hybrid controllers.
Where this takes you
Requirements
