This is a 12-credit hours (4 courses), Graduate ECE Certificate in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Technology. Development of the next generation of fuel-efficient and environmentally-responsible advanced electric drive vehicles is one of the nation's top priorities. The State of Indiana plays a major role in the design, development, and manufacturing of these types of vehicles, such as electric vehicle (EV), hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) or plugin hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), or their components. This is a very technically intensive and competitive field that requires multidisciplinary approaches. Expertise in the HEV technology will greatly needed to meet the demands in the hybrid vehicle sector of the automotive industry.
This certificate program is designed to address industry's increased needs for engineers having expertise in EV/HEV/PHEV. It will prepare today's engineers to be competitive in taking on the new challenges facing the industry so that the companies in automotive sector can compete globally.
The certificate requires selection of at least two courses in the primary area and the remaining two courses in the related area.
