Now it is possible to really
learn how to make a safe
self-driving car
NIT Academy in the partnership with University of California San Diego Extended Studies department, developed a state-of-the art certificate program in functional safety engineering for automotive and more.
In partnership with
Systems, Functions and Safety
Build up the understanding of system safety and functional safety, and acquire all key terms and fundamental skills.
Safety Analysis Techniques
Learn how to formally analyze for safety, including FMEA, FTA, ETA, HAZOP and other methods, focused on automotive examples and plenty of exercises.
Fault Tolerant Systems
Learn how to design redundant and diverse HW and SW structures to increase the reliability of systems, and how to formally show, through calculations, what you achieved.
Automotive Quality and Project Management
Learn all about QM and ASPICE first-hand from intacs-certified assessors, including all base practices within a safety process which must be followed to pass the audits.
Automotive Functional Safety Standards
Get a deep dive into ISO 26262 and work out your first small safety project. Also get familiar with SOTIF and ISO 21434 as security concerns around software in vehicles arise as well.
Automotive Functional Safety Design
Create your first functional safety concept and technical safety concept for a modern car.
Functional Safety Software
Learn how to write software that is safe and how to apply safety measures in software.
Safety Verification and Validation
Learn how to test and validate your functional safety design and how to create a convincing safety case.
Automotive Functional Safety Capstone Project
Practice functional safety through an exemplary automotive engineering project
Automotive Software with AUTOSAR (classic and adaptive)
Learn to develop software for vehicles using the most common framework of today, and master AUTOSAR architecture, methodology and workflow.
Vehicle Networks and Infrastructure
Get familiar with the communication backbone and communication interfaces of the modern car.
Modern C++
Learn advanced object programming paradigms in C++ variants 11, 14, and 17.
Advanced C
Understand C on a higher level, including its memory handling, optimizations, and advanced constructs.
