• Vehicle Styling and Industrial Design
• Sub Systems Design like Controller, Motor, Battery Systems, Regenerative Braking, Connected Vehicles etc.
• Verification and Validation of Sub Systems and Reliability Engineering
• Concepts of HALT, HAST and MEOST in Accelerated testing.
• EMI/EMC of sub systems and Vehicles

Projects to be done Together:

During the 1^styear of the ‘COEEM’ – GCL and RVCE would work on following projects :

i. Controller Design for 1.2 kw and 3 kw BLDC Traction Motors

ii. BMS Design for Lion battery

iii. CAN Based telematics Gateway Unit for Preventive Diagnostics

iv. Application Software for Special Features in EV’s – IP shared by RVCE and GCL

v. Research in developing Hybrid battery solution with Ultra Capacitors

Ways of Working :

i. Interns would be taken every year at Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels from all streams including ME, EEE, E&C, CS and E&I

ii. The Interns would work between Jan~May and would use the infrastructure and software and hardware of both GCL and RVCE

iii. There would be a GCL guide and also RVCE guide for the projects

iv. The Projects would be selected based on the Industrial Viability for the project.

v. The Project would be concluded based on satisfactory achievement of the results or milestones and would be carried forward in case needed.

vi. On Specific Research / Product / Sub Systems Projects: While most of the resources would be used from GCL or RVCE; any specific investments would be mutually agreed and signed Off and milestones would be defined for achievement.

vii. viii. The Incubation Centres space would be provided by RVCE for the COEEM –Centre of Excellence for Electric Mobility.

ix. RCVE and the Interns should not work on any other similar projects during and post this engagement with GCL as per the terms of this MOU.

x. RCVE and the Interns shall not use the IPR and Confidential Information for any other projects or engagements.

MoU with University of Dortmund, Germany:

Objective is to have Students and faculty exchange program. One batch of 5 students and three professors visited RVCE during Jan-Feb 2019

Industrial Visit

Objective :

• Industrial visit is to provide students an insight regarding internal working of companies.

• Industrial visit has its own importance in a career of a student who is pursuing a professional degree. It is considered as a part of college curriculum, mainly seen in Engineering.

• It gives them exposure to current work practices as opposed to possibly theoretical knowledge being taught at college.

• Industrial visits provide an excellent opportunity to interact with industries and know more about industrial environment.

• Industrial visits are arranged by colleges to students with an objective of providing students functional opportunity in different sectors like IT, Manufacturing and services, finance and marketing.

• Industrial visit helps to combine theoretical knowledge with industrial knowledge. Industrial realities are opened to the students through industrial visits.

Outcome:

• Industry visits bridge the gap between theoretical training and practical learning in a real-life environment.

• Industry visits provide opportunity for active/interactive learning experiences in-class as well outside the classroom environment.

• With industry visits, students are able to better identify their prospective areas of work in the overall organizational function.

• Industry visits help enhance interpersonal skills and communication techniques.

• Students become more aware of industry practices and regulations during industry visits.

• Industry visits broaden the outlook of students with exposure to different workforces from different industries.
