Smart Automotive E-Mobility—A Proposal for a New Curricula for Engineering Education
Education Sciences, vol. 12, pp. 316
Abstract
Automotive engineering is an area of great value and development. Lately, it has evolved rapidly because of autonomous vehicles. The development of smart mobility will be crucial in the coming years. Related research and companies related to intelligent transportation require trained and capable engineers. It is essential to generate an updated and specialized academic program that provides state-of-the-art technologies and related areas with smart mobility. This paper presents a novel two-year graduate academic program focused on smart electromobility. Programs around the globe were analyzed to find opportunity areas related to autonomous and electric vehicles, and smart mobility. Multi- and transdisciplinary courses were designed, according to the findings, on areas related to computer science, mechanical and electric engineering, law, marketing, and public policy. The proposed program fulfills the needs of a graduate student who will later work in a smart electromobility environment. The program offers a balanced curriculum that includes technical, business and social courses. Virtual and physical labs are proposed to develop a high-quality educational experience. This proposal can be used as a model for upcoming and related programs in other universities.
