AEV 5070 Systems Engineering for Advanced Electric Vehicles
Credit HoursRecitation/Lecture HoursStudio HoursClinical HoursLab Hours


Technologies which disrupt the way things have historically been done (such as a transition to Advanced Electric Vehicles (AEVs)) coupled with increasing use of digital tools in the design and validation processes warrant taking a very close look at the best tools and practices for executing the systems engineering process. Advanced Electric Vehicle (AEV) concepts will be used for careful decomposition and evaluation.
