Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to design electric vehicles from a system-level perspective, including concept development, component selection, system integration, and performance evaluation within an engineering design framework.
Course Content
This course addresses electric vehicle design at the system level by covering vehicle architectures, key components, and engineering design methodologies; the design process is structured from requirement definition to concept and detailed design stages, while performance criteria such as maximum speed, acceleration, and gradeability are evaluated through traction and power calculations based on driving cycles; electric motor selection is carried out by considering motor types and torque-speed characteristics, and battery system design is examined in terms of energy capacity, cell selection, and pack configuration together with battery management system functions; vehicle dynamics, chassis design, and the effects of weight distribution are evaluated, while the thermal management of batteries and electric drive components is addressed within the framework of system integration, and energy management strategies are analyzed in terms of energy consumption, efficiency, and regenerative braking; vehicle architecture, packaging, and system integration are discussed along with safety requirements and relevant regulations.
Course Precondition
There are no prerequisites for this course.
