Course Content

The automotive world is currently undergoing fundamental changes emphasizing the development and deployment of electrical vehicles (EVs) and automated vehicles (AVs). The most fundamental design requirements for EVs and AVs include safety and cybersecurity. This two-day course will give the participant the base knowledge necessary to understand EV and AV design requirements from the perspective of Functional Safety (FS), SOTIF (safety of the intended functionality), and cybersecurity (CS). The course will also provide an introduction to Systems Engineering and the standards ISO 26262, ISO/PAS 21448, SAE 3061, and ISO/SAE 21434.

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for managers and new product development support personnel.

Recommended Training and/or Experience

Participants should have a working knowledge of basic automotive components and automotive electronics.

Seminar Materials

Each participant will receive a seminar manual including case studies.

Seminar Goals

Participants successfully completing this course will be able to:

List and explain the basic components, workings, and architectures of EVs and AVs
List and explain the safety and cybersecurity requirements for the development of EVs and AVs.
Understand the application of systems engineering in the design of EVs and AVs.
Understand the perspectives of safety and cybersecurity in the design of EVs and AVs.
List and explain the commonalities and design issues of safety and cybersecurity involving EVs and AVs.
