6713 - Electric Vehicle Engineering
Knowledge and comprehension skills
The Electrical Systems Engineer for Electric Vehicles possesses specialized expertise in the principal subsystems constituting an electric driveline, including:
Within these individual subsystems, as well as at the level of overall system integration, the engineer is expected to address and manage the following aspects:
Graduates in this field acquire advanced knowledge in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), as well as in the testing and reliability assessment of electrical systems. They develop a deep understanding of electromagnetic interference phenomena and the associated mitigation techniques, fault analysis and simulation methods, and the principles and practices necessary to ensure system reliability. These competencies are developed through coursework in both core and complementary areas of Electronics and Electromagnetic Fields.
In addition, graduates demonstrate proficiency in the integration of multiple electrical subsystems—including electric motors, power drives, thermal control systems, and onboard electrical connectivity—ensuring their coordinated functionality under a range of environmental conditions such as temperature fluctuations, vibrations, and humidity. These skills are fostered through advanced modules in Electronic Systems Engineering.
Furthermore, graduates possess interdisciplinary competencies related to the interaction among various vehicular technologies, along with the ability to conduct cost analysis and planning activities pertinent to the development and manufacturing of electrical vehicle components. These skills are supported by dedicated coursework in Technology Management and Business Planning.
Learning outcomes are achieved through a combination of lectures, laboratory sessions, and practical exercises, with opportunities for group work and individual study, depending on the instructional methodologies adopted by each course instructor. The assessment of student knowledge and understanding is carried out through written and/or oral examinations, which test both theoretical and applied disciplinary content. In addition, students are evaluated through project-based assignments, often developed in laboratory settings, where emphasis is placed on the integration of interdisciplinary knowledge, critical analysis, and the ability to select and apply appropriate models and methodologies for problem-solving.
Capability to apply knowledge and comprehension
The graduate holding a master’s degree in Electric Vehicle Engineering:
These skills are assessed within individual course units, where students may be required to independently explore specific areas of interest, including topics of industrial relevance.
Moreover, the acquisition of these competencies is further evaluated through the master’s thesis, which may be complemented by an industrial internship. The thesis project typically focuses on an interdisciplinary topic and requires the integration and application of knowledge acquired across different subject areas within the degree programme.
Critical thinking
The graduate of the master’s degree Programme in Electric Vehicle Engineering:
These skills in independent judgment and critical analysis are developed through participation in educational activities within the field of Electrical Engineering, as well as through additional training experiences, such as internships, dedicated laboratory work, and the preparation of the final thesis project.
Teaching methods include participation in seminars and practical exercises, both in classrooms and laboratories, the development of individual or group projects, guided study, and independent learning.
Assessment of learning outcomes is primarily conducted through written or oral examinations, tests, and project-based evaluations, aimed at verifying both theoretical understanding and practical application of acquired knowledge and skills.
Communication skills
The graduate of the master’s degree Programme in Electric Vehicle Engineering:
These communication skills are developed through participation in core disciplinary activities and additional learning experiences, including internships in industrial settings, which serve as an essential testing ground for students to develop and refine their communication and presentation abilities.
Teaching methods include classroom and laboratory exercises, group projects, and guided individual study.
The assessment of learning outcomes is primarily based on written and/or oral examinations and project work, which evaluate not only technical competence but also clarity of exposition and communicative effectiveness.
Finally, the presentation of the thesis results represents a key opportunity for students to demonstrate their acquired communication skills. This presentation constitutes an integral part of the final assessment leading to the awarding of the degree.
Learning skills
The graduate of the master’s degree Programme:
Learning abilities are fostered throughout the programme by means of project-based and laboratory activities, during which students are encouraged to seek information from technical journals, textbooks, and scientific databases.
Finally, the drawing up of the master’s thesis is a moment of synthesis and assessment of these abilities, as students are required to tackle applied research topics with a high degree of innovation and complexity.
