The electrification of the transportation sector, along with the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), is a major priority for governments across the globe as they develop new policies to achieve net-zero emissions goals by 2050.
To meet this demand, the EV industry will require a workforce that can advance all facets of electrification technology, from vehicle design to charging technologies to battery capacity and thermal management of power systems. A new generation of skilled engineers is needed to address these cross-disciplinary challenges.
This certificate provides an opportunity for students to learn about EVs within the context of engineering applications and expand their understanding of the technical and environmental implications of engineering in EV design.
