You will have at your disposal a 100% online study methodology and the most up-to-date criteria on MCIA fault diagnosis through this exclusive postgraduate certificate"

Alternative Internal Combustion Engines play a key role in a wide range of applications, from automobiles to industrial machinery. For this reason, efficient operation is essential. However, wear and tear and failures can significantly affect their performance and service life. In this regard, technological innovation has been a valuable source of solutions. For example, diagnostic imaging, such as thermography or ultrasound, greatly supports the early detection of faults. Also, the development of non-destructive techniques to identify small faults has been of vital importance.

Implementing these state-of-the-art tests is complex and requires highly skilled professionals. In this way, engineers seeking success in this field need to keep up-to-date in a comprehensive way. To broaden your skills in these areas, TECH has a rigorous educational program, developed by the best experts in the field.

The university program performs an in-depth analysis of vibration and abnormal noise monitoring models as indicators of problems in engine operation. It also examines strategies for maintenance schedules and ensuring safety and international regulatory compliance in engine design. It also addresses the differences between prevention, prediction and correction when developing controls.

For the study of all these contents, the postgraduate certificate has a disruptive methodology in 100% online mode. It stands out the Relearning method, of which TECH is a pioneer, and which allows the assimilation of the fundamental concepts of the syllabus through repetition in a natural and progressive way. In addition, access to the university's Virtual Campus is completely personalized, allowing each member of the student body to organize their schedules individually, without responding to rigid chronograms.
