Automotive Electronics Centre of Excellence

Introduction

Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Automotive Electronics (AE) is to create and disseminate knowledge through a range of high-quality academic program in a student-centered learning environment to emphasize intellectual achievement and to increase employability in the field of Automotive Electronics. This CoE dawns new ground in the Automotive Electronics training sector for EEE, &ECE departments’ students. Employment opportunities are expected to keep pace with continuing rapid advances leading to increased demand for competent and versatile graduates who can design and implement innovative solutions for the Automotive Electronics industry in particular. Competition in the automotive industry is proliferating every day and CoE-AE endeavours to continually infuse technological learning in students which will reflect the skills in demand by the industry worldwide.

The accelerated learning techniques and blended learning experiences help students to maintain a competitive edge in the automotive industry. The global automotive industry has witnessed a lot of transformation in the last two decades with the digitization of vehicles. Developing less expensive electronics architecture is expected to expedite the demand for electronics and enable sophisticated functionalities as standard features. Globally, electronic components are expected to be 50 per cent of the value of a car by 2030. Extensive research in the areas of automotive power train, safety, control and electronics is being pursued globally and is gaining momentum in India with active participation from academia and industry. Thus, it is envisaged to be a Centre of Excellence focusing on providing research solutions to the automotive industries through focused R&D in association with the talent and capabilities for the enrolled COE students.
