This certificate program intends to rapidly infuse important advanced electric vehicle (AEV) knowledge and capabilities into the technological team of the automotive and defense ground vehicle industries of the region. It will be aimed at specific learning outcomes defined in direct collaboration with leaders in AEV development at Ford Motor Company. 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 offered in two locations, currently -Rotunda Campus, Dearborn Mi and UDM 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.
