The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras has launched an e-mobility course for working professionals. Registration will be open till 30 September. The course will provide an in-depth overview of the e-mobility eco-system and basic fundamentals in technical areas such as vehicle development, power electronics, battery engineering, thermal management, power trains, and EMI/ EMC, etc.
The classes for the course will commence on 2 October. An interesting feature of the course is that four out of the nine modules in the program will bring in industry professionals to deliver content. The program will have 120 hours of video classes and another 40 hours of online classes with the faculty. The course is being offered by the Centre for Outreach and Digital Education (CODE), IIT Madras
Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director of IIT Madras, said “We announced our Dual Degree in EV Engineering late last year - a Program purely for our BTech Students. Ever since there have been a great many inquiries from Industry friends and well-wishers about a need for re-skilling or up-skilling their existing employees as the auto industry rapidly migrates major volumes to EVs in the coming years.”
Further, he added, “We are therefore launching this programme in order to address the needs of the various working professionals across Industries and departments. IIT Madras will continue to rapidly increase its presence in the e-Mobility space and primarily target remote delivery using advanced technology for Working Professionals who need flexibility and relevance.”
The certificate program was conceived with suggestions from industry experts and would be continuously upgraded based on technology trends, market trends and industry requirements. Candidates need to complete regular assignments and a final evaluation, upon which they will receive a certificate.
