Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

100 % online study 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, making it compatible with work.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is AVEVA Marine, Siemens Teamcenter, Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE, Siemens Plant Simulation, Leica Cyclone, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for 3D laser scanning and block dimensional control, shipyard production simulation and workshop IoT data integration. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final integrative project.

Laboratories suitable for accreditation(EN ISO/IEC 17025) with a rotor test rig, EMC/Lightning pre-compliance, HIL/SIL, vibration/acoustics.
Evidence-driven final project:safety case, test plan, compliance dossier and operational limits.
Industry mentoring:lecturers with careers in training, , eVTOL/UAM and flight test.
Flexible format(hybrid/online), international cohorts and support from SEIUM Career Services.
Ethics and safety:safety-by-design approach, OT cybersecurity, DIH and compliance as core pillars.
