Revolution in the automotive industry

In the automotive sector, the development of complex systems is under constant pressure to innovate. New technologies not only require shorter development cycles, but also the highest safety and quality standards. This is where continuous engineering comes into play: an approach that ensures that new functions are continuously tested and optimized through the seamless integration of development and validation processes. In combination with virtual validation methods such as digital twins and simulations, companies can react faster, more efficiently and more reliably to new challenges.

Modern software development with virtual engineering and continuous engineering

You will learn how continuous development processes (CI/CD) and continuous architecture evaluation increase the efficiency and quality of your projects. Other focal points are the virtual integration and validation of systems using digital twins and simulations. You will also receive an introduction to important standards such as Automotive ASPICE and ISO 26262 and their implementation in virtual development environments. Topics such as ISO 25010 quality models, traceability and virtual engineering for safety-critical systems round off the program.
