disclosure statement.

This certificate program intends to rapidly infuse important advanced electric vehicle (AEV) knowledge and capabilities into the technological teams of the automotive and defense ground vehicle industries of the region. It is aimed at specific learning outcomes defined in direct collaboration with leaders in AEV development at the Ford Motor Company. Input from a variety of Industry and Academic sources is being used to continuously refresh the information and technologies discussed for this rapidly evolving drive train system. Students successful in these courses will learn to apply their engineering talents to the development of the next generation of advanced electric vehicles.

Engineers in this program will select five of the seven newly created graduate courses that were designed by "competency teams," whose explicit purpose is to create curriculum that is directly responsive to industry needs, but also deploys the most current technology, strategies, methods and tools emerging from universities, corporations and national laboratories. The certificate program is currently offered at the 91福利社 McNichols Campus, Detroit, MI.

Students may choose to concentrate several courses in one focal area or may select a variety of courses across multiple focal areas.

    Program Learning Outcomes

    Students completing the certificate program will have the ability to: 

    1. apply knowledge of AEV vehicles to solve problems in AEV design and integration.
    2. design, develop and use validated system models for AEV components and systems to solve problems associated with AEVs.
    3. choose and integrate proper E-drives for vehicle powertrain and other applications associated with AEVs.
    4. implement optimum solutions for control problems associated with AEV systems.
    5. function effectively in multi-disciplinary teams and interface effectively with engineers for developing the AEV.

    And depending on the choice of electives, graduates will have the ability to:

      6. design and develop optimum power storage solutions by designing and developing battery systems. This includes all aspects of power storage such as battery chemistry, packaging and layout design, thermal management, manufacturing and charging process and life-cycle management.

      7. implement proper electronic solutions for power conversion and management problems associated with AEVs. 

      8. use techniques of innovation in AEV system design. 

      9. analyze as well as design an optimum architecture for AEV systems, and engineer AEV systems.
