DFMEA Overview, Application and Facilitation

This course is verified by Probitas as meeting the AS9104/3A requirements for Continuing Professional Development. This course serves a dual purpose: it delves into fundamental DFMEA principles and their practical applications while also offering guidance on leading DFMEA teams. Participants will be introduced to crucial FMEA concepts, along with the theoretical foundations before exploring how to implement these concepts in their DFMEA endeavors. Often, the FMEA process can become a mere replication of past efforts, which poses risks for both organizations developing the products under scrutiny and the end-users.

Theories and Methods of Future HMI Design for Automobiles

This course is offered in China only and presented in Mandarin Chinese. HMI design is an Interdisciplinary, which is based on human cognitive psychology and combines humanities, sociology, aesthetics, information science and other disciplines. While automotive technologies can be applied regardless of regions, HMI must be localized, as it is closely related to regional culture, people's living habits and characteristics. At the same time, HMI design has its own complete theoretical system, research and design methods and testing methods, instead of relying on experience.
