Powertrain engineering: from electric vehicles to hybrid systems
The first involves the propulsion control systems engineering course. This type of qualification works in such a way as to delve in detail into the principles and technologies underlying the management of propulsion systems, with a focus on electric and hybrid vehicles. The second course is propulsion module calibration systems engineering. This, makes available a type of training that provides the necessary skills to be able to optimize the performance of engines and powertrain systems. The third and final course covers automotive software development. It explores the latest trends unique to the development of embedded software for vehicles, with a major concentration addressing autonomous driving and connectivity technologies.
This year’s edition of this fantastic qualifying program, is planning to have as many as 75 available places, of which only 45 will be covered by the scholarships. Classes will begin in October 2024.
