Expected to know the fundamentals, at least the basic terms.

This subject focuses on how the customer’s requirements changes what the vehicle is like.

It starts from scratch on how the vehicle is designed.

Course Intro

  • the auto industry is rapidly shifting toward electrification creating demand of EV engineers

  • this course highlights a holistic industry aligned methodology

  • it integrates multiple disciplines to manage complex vehicle systems effectively

  • ensures successful design, development, and operation of electric vehicles through structured processes.

  • defining and managing system-level requirements

  • designing and integrating individual subsystems and components

  • analysing interactions across domains ( electrical, mechanical, thermal, software)

  • Validating system performance under real-world driving conditions

  • Systems engineering is a multidisciplinary approach that integrates principles from electrical, electronics, computer science, and mechanical engineering to manage complex systems effectively.

  • In the context of electric vehicle design, this approach is essential for addressing real-world engineering challenges.
