How you'll learn
Fully 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 cohort, 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 SolidWorks, ANSYS Mechanical, MATLAB/Simulink, Altium Designer, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real design and certification procedures for electric scooters, safety analysis of PMV batteries, and test planning for the European and North American markets. 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.
Analyse the architecture and risks of personal mobility vehicles.
Apply the EN 17128 and EN 15194 standards and CE marking.
Plan certification according to UL 2272, UL 2849 and UL 2271.
Design safe batteries for personal mobility vehicles.
