IIT Bhubaneswar Launches EV Tech Course

22 Oct 2024 CW Team

IIT Bhubaneswar has introduced a new certificate course focused on electric vehicle (EV) technology, aiming to equip engineering students and professionals with the skills necessary to thrive in the growing electric mobility sector. As the demand for electric vehicles rises, this course will help participants stay at the forefront of advanced technologies driving the green mobility revolution.

The course covers critical aspects of EV design, development, and operation, offering participants insights into battery management systems, electric motors, power electronics, and charging infrastructure. With the global shift towards sustainable transportation, understanding EV technology is becoming increasingly vital for engineers and automotive industry professionals.

IIT Bhubaneswar’s initiative aligns with India’s efforts to bolster the EV market and reduce its carbon footprint, fostering the development of a skilled workforce that can contribute to the country’s clean energy transition. Participants in the program will gain practical and theoretical knowledge, preparing them for careers in electric vehicle manufacturing, research, and development.

The academic program also supports the broader goals of India's National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP), which aims to accelerate EV adoption and establish the country as a global hub for EV innovation and manufacturing. As the government pushes for faster EV adoption through policy initiatives and incentives, courses like this will play a pivotal role in shaping the future workforce.

The launch of this certificate program is expected to attract students and professionals eager to explore the rapidly evolving EV landscape, driving forward India’s vision of a greener and more sustainable automotive future.

Smart Roads, Smarter India

India’s infrastructure boom is not only about laying more kilometres of highways – it’s about building them smarter, safer and more sustainably. From drones mapping fragile Himalayan slopes to 3D machine-controlled graders reducing human error, technology is steadily reshaping the way projects are planned and executed. Yet, the journey towards digitisation remains complex, demanding not just capital but also coordination, training and vision.Until recently, engineers largely depended on Survey of India toposheets and traditional survey methods like total stations or DGPS to prepare detai..

What Does DCPR 2034 Mean?

The Maharashtra government has eased approval norms for high-rise buildings under DCPR 2034, enabling the municipal commissioner to sanction projects up to 180 m on large plots. This change is expected to streamline approvals, reduce procedural delays and accelerate redevelopment, drawing reactions from developers, planners and industry experts about its implications for Mumbai’s vertical growth.Under the revised DCPR 2034 rules, buildings on plots of 2,000 sq m or more can now be approved up to 180 m by the municipal commissioner, provided structural and geotechnical reports are certified b..
