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 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 AVEVA Marine, CADMATIC, NAPA Steel, ShipConstructor, Siemens Teamcenter, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for 3D model reviews with clash detection, pilot implementation of information flows, and generation of production information from the model. 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 state of digital transformation in the shipyard.
Develop 3D models of the vessel by discipline.
Manage information and collaboration in accordance with ISO 19650.
Extract production information from the digital model.
Connect the model with the digital twin in operation.
