Electric Vehicle and Power Electronics

Electric vehicles are the future of transportation. Electric mobility has become an essential part of the energy transition strategy and will result in significant changes for vehicle manufacturers, governments, companies and individuals.

The first half of this program is designed for students to learn the nuances of designing, producing and manufacturing of electric cars, electric buses, trucks, or motorcycles.

In this program, you will be given a comprehensive view of electric mobility including the most important aspects of this new market, state-of-the-art technology of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure; profitable business models that can work for enterprises in this market; and effective policies for governmental bodies. This series of courses will deliver expertise you can apply to all aspects of electric mobility as its importance grows. It will help policy makers, engineers and fleet managers to make sound strategic decisions about e-mobility products and their implications.

In the second part of this course, you will design modern switched-mode power converters; create high-performance control loops around power converters; understand efficiency, power density and cost trade-offs. This half of the specialization covers design-oriented analysis, modeling and simulation techniques leading to practical engineering of high-performance power electronics systems.

The approximate time required to complete this program is 12 months.

Upon successful completion of the program, the student will receive a Professional Training Award of Completion in Electric Vehicle and Power Electronics.
