How you'll learn
Fully 100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and a dedicated technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, making 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 CST Studio Suite, Ansys HFSS, Altair Feko, Zuken E3.series, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practical work draws on real procedures for defining the grounding strategy of an electric vehicle, simulating the coupling between antennas and harnesses, and analysing high-voltage noise in radio reception. 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.
Plan electromagnetic compatibility from the vehicle architecture.
Design earthing strategies and current return paths.
Apply routing, twisting and shielding criteria for wiring harnesses.
Ensure the coexistence of antennas and wireless systems.
Control the disturbances generated by high-voltage systems.
Where this takes you
Requirements
- Prior technical training or professional experience in the sector. A university degree is not required.
