The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT-D) has launched a new Certificate Programme in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) Design. The six-month certificate programme is designed for engineers in mechanical, electrical, automotive, and related fields.
Engineering graduates in the mechanical, electrical, automotive, and allied areas or diploma holders (10+2+3) from a recognised university will be eligible to register for the new certificate programme. This programme is set to begin on September 29. The course fee is Rs 1,10,000 plus GST.
Upon successful completion of the programme with a minimum grading of 50% and maintaining a minimum attendance of 50 per cent, participants will be awarded a certificate of completion from CEP, IIT Delhi.
According to an official statement issued in this regard, the programme aims to provide a solid foundation in EV/HEV technology and is tailored for professionals transitioning from internal combustion engine technology to EVs and HEVs, as well as those looking to enhance their expertise in the sector.
To meet the demand of India’s EV market and bridge the gap in EV industry, the IIT Delhi Certificate Programme will cover concepts including thermodynamics, IC engines, electric machines and drives, power electronics, automotive hybridisation, and battery design and modelling.
Participants will benefit from live sessions delivered by renowned IITD faculty, insights aligned with the FAME scheme, a Capstone project, and valuable networking opportunities in the automotive industry. The programme also offers an optional one-day campus immersion at IIT Delhi’s Centre for Automotive Research and Tribology (CART), providing exposure to state-of-the-art facilities.
Graduates of the programme will be equipped to explain internal combustion engine characteristics, vehicle hybridization and electrification processes, various electric machines and propulsion technologies used in HEVs, and different energy storage system principles. They will also gain skills in testing and modelling methods to characterise battery performance, reliability, and safety.
