The goal of this course is to provide analytical and hands-on skills on defining and testing power losses in powertrain systems of electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV).
The course contains introductory lectures to present power losses and energy efficiency in EV and HEV. Laboratory experiments and computer workshops, the main portion of the course, follow the lectures. The laboratory test modules are built with the use of hardware and tests including ordinary and planetary gear sets, gear power loss test rig, electric motors, two unmanned ground vehicles with individual wheel drives (3-wheeler and 4-wheeler), etc. National Instruments LabVIEW and myRIO are in use for practical laboratory work. Computer workshops facilitate the understanding of HE concepts and operational modes and develop skills in simulating vehicle characteristics.

Students analyze an assortment of popular inventions to determine whom they are intended to benefit, who has access to them, who might be harmed by them, and who is profiting by them. Then they re-imagine the devices in a way that they believe would do more good for humanity. During the first 90-minute class period, they evaluate and discuss designs in small groups and as a class, examining their decision-making criteria. Collectively, they decide upon a definition of "ethical" that they use going forward. During the second period, students apply their new point-of-view to redesign popular inventions (on paper) and persuasively present them to the class, explaining how they meet the class standards for ethical designs. Two PowerPoint® presentations, a worksheet and grading rubric are provided.
