Course Catalog Description
This course covers current topics of interest in civil and environmental engineering. The course content may vary from semester to semester depending upon the instructor
Class Description
This course provides students with an introduction and hands-on engineering design experience on
electric mobility. Transportation is the largest energy end-use sector at 37%. Over 95% of
transportation energy is fossil fuel based. Consequently, decarbonizing transportation is a critical
step toward climate change mitigation. Electric mobility describes concepts for utilizing electric
power technologies for transportation, such as batteries and electric motors. This includes electric
cars, micro-mobility, electric aircraft, electric ships, and more. The course is divided into three parts:
First, we examine the economic, environmental and ethical principles behind transitioning
combustion-based drivetrains to electric drivetrains. Second, we introduce the fundamental
principles behind electric drivetrains, including electric machines and batteries. Third, students will
disassemble an electric scooter, discover how it works, and then create an improved design.
