Automotive Functional Safety Capstone Project

Participants in this capstone course will have the opportunity to apply all the knowledge acquired in the previous courses and in the Functional Safety Fundamental for Automotive certificate to a specific problem given in the form of a real-world automotive safety project.

Students will acquire experience with executing a safety project through all the phases of its lifecycle from requirement elicitation, hazard identification and safety assessment, technical and safety concept, system and software architecture and design, basic implementation, testing, to verification and validation. They will apply the relevant standards and tools, and carefully document the project.

Course Highlights:

• Safety analysis execution
• Functional, and Technical safety concept
• Goal-based safety case
• Creation of a technical safety design
