  •  

    AEV 5070 Systems Engineering for Advanced Electric Vehicles

    AEV 5070 Systems Engineering for Advanced Electric Vehicles

    Credit Hours: 3

    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. The major activities of the systems engineering process will be explored with numerous examples and case studies, some focusing on Advanced Electric Vehicles (AEVs). A required project will be related to AEV development.
