Candidates can check more details about the program at – elearn.nptel.ac.in/shop/iit-workshops/ongoing/e-mobility-and-electric-vehicle-engineering.
Highlighting the need for such certificate programmes, the Director of IIT Madras said – We had announced our dual degree in EV Engineering late last year – this is a program solely for our BTech students. Ever since there have been a lot of inquiries from industry friends and well-wishers about the need to re-skill or up-skill their existing employees as the auto industry is increasingly shifting to EVs in large quantities in the coming years.
Further, Professor Kamkoti said, – That’s why we are launching this program to meet the needs of various working professionals across industries and departments. IIT Madras will continue to rapidly grow its presence in the e-mobility space and will primarily target remote delivery using advanced Science Technology for working professionals who need flexibility and relevance.
Elaborating on the programme, IIT Madras said, – It has been developed essentially to meet the needs of engineers in companies who want a well-structured overview and understanding of various aspects of e-mobility. Want to get introduced – People in functions such as manufacturing, sourcing, quality, aftermarket, etc. as well as engineers in product development who want to take a career towards e-mobility.
The course will provide an overview of the basic fundamentals in the e-mobility eco-system as well as technical areas such as vehicle development, power electronics, battery engineering, thermal management, power trains, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) or electromagnetic interference (EMI) among other fields.
Candidates need to complete regular assignments and final assessment:
The program includes 120 hours of video classes and another 40 hours of online contact classes with faculty. Candidates are required to complete regular assignments and a final assessment, upon which they will receive a certificate. The first group will begin in early October and registration will be on a first-come-first-served basis.
A unique feature of the curriculum is that industry professionals deliver content in four of the program’s nine modules. The certificate program was conceived with inputs from industry experts and will be continuously upgraded based on technology trends, market trends and industry needs.
Regular assignments and a strong pedagogy:
Further, Professor Devendra Jalihal said, – To ensure that it is in line with this objective in OEM as well as in Tier 1 companies, we have brought in industry experts to deliver the parts of the material. There will be regular assignments as well as assessment at the end of each module to ensure a strong pedagogy.
