Course Overview

Post Graduate Program in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Design and Analysis is primarily designed for job seekers, but professionals switching from the Mechanical to Electric Vehicle (EV) domain can also immensely benefit from this program. This Post-Graduate (PG) certification in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Design and Analysis program is the first of its kind in India.

It is an 8-month-long program that trains you in all the essential engineering concepts and tools that are used by top Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to design future electric and Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) vehicles. Learners also get hands-on experience in using various software that aid in the design and development. Vital advantages of doing this course are the opportunity to work on a Capstone project and the assured assistance in finding a job.

Below are the capstone projects I worked on :

Parsing NASA's Thermodynamic Data File using MATLAB
Rail wheel and Track Simulation using Ansys Workbench
Sheet Metal Bending Analysis using Ansys Workbench
Static Structural Analysis on Spur Gear with Different Materials using Ansys Workbench
Pre-Processing of Dashboard sub-parts using ANSA v20.1.4
Pre-Processing of Suspension and Wheel Assembly

"The Arduino programming taught in the curriculum assisted me in doing Research and Development within my field."

Course Structure

It is taught online by experienced faculty members, and one can do the course at their own pace. The curriculum of the program includes 4 modules.

The course is divided into two semesters:

In Semester 1, the focus is on the basics of Matlab and Simulink, along with the basics of any designing software programs. It contains

Matlab for Mechanical Engineers
Simulink for Mechanical
Development of Hybrid Drives using Matlab and Simulink
Introduction to Battery Technology using Matlab and Simulink

Semester 2 has two mandatory courses; you can select different tracks afterward:

Course 1 - Preprocessor for Structural Analysis using ANSA
Course 2 - Python for Mechanical Engineers
- Track 1: Computational Fluid Dynamics
- Track 2: Finite Element Analysis
- Track 3: Computational Design
- Track 4: Multi-body Dynamics

Learners get access to high-quality recorded content and practice assignments given at the start of each week during the course. You also get lifetime access to the course content. The best aspect of the program is that it compels you to follow a research-based learning approach.

To get a verified course completion certificate, learners should have completed all the course lectures, assignments, and technical projects. Only then a certificate of completion is awarded. Post every video explanation, there is a small assessment at the end to validate your learning or attainments.

Insider Tips

In order to get the best out of this course, I have included some important tips below that I think you might find useful.

Placement or Internship Assistance

After learners finish all the program modules, those who have subscribed to pro or premium plans can avail of job assistance support. Through mock interviews, learners are trained for job interviews, including the technical rounds. They also keep an eye out for prospective jobs the learners might qualify for and help them apply for them.

The student success department also trains the learners in tool tests. Learners can assume the role of Automotive Engineers, Maintenance Engineers, Industrial and Production Engineers, or Electrical Engineers.

Following are the ways Skill-Lync provides placement assistance:

They aid you in creating a proper resume that will make you stand out from the crowd.
They focus on making your LinkedIn account professional enough to apply for jobs through the LinkedIn jobs portal.
Assistance regarding Email and LinkedIn connection request templates is provided. These templates are for seeking placement opportunities and can be sent to the HR of different companies.
Interview practices with the Skill-Lync Mentors.

Mentor Guidance

The mentors are well-experienced professionals and set a timetable for each student, depending on their learning patterns.

For doubts, a live Google Meet session is conducted, and you can also decide when the meeting has to be scheduled, depending on your convenience.

Weekly challenges are conducted to know the students' knowledge and are thoroughly monitored. The error correction is done through the live sessions, and at the end of every course, there will be a live MCQ Test with a mentor for finalizing the course certificates.

Assessment and Grading Criteria

The assessments can be taken only once. After each chapter, there will be assessments to be completed and graded by the mentors. These are basically on software-based challenges that learners have to complete before going to the next topic. Notes are given only if it's a course where we require basic knowledge of mechanical data. Otherwise, the rest of the required information is on presentations and recorded video sessions.

All the sessions are an average of 1 hour and a maximum of 2 hours. No examination is compulsory for the certificate course. To get a verified course completion certificate, learners must have completed all the course lectures, assignments, and technical projects.

Hands-on Training

Students get an edge over their competitors by getting the opportunity to work comprehensively on industry-relevant projects and by practicing tools and software.

Final Take

Currently, I am working as a Product or Design Engineer in the Healthcare Additive Manufacturing domain. This course helped me design more easily with less material wastage and also helped me to do some analysis on the designed products. Moreover, the Arduino programming taught in the curriculum assisted me in doing Research and Development within my field.
