Abstract

This paper presents the details of hands on course instruction attempted for the undergraduate programme for automotive electronics course in electrical sciences using virtual industry platform. The design of an Electronic Control Unit for an integrated engine and safety management system developed as part of course project on Automotive Electronics at the undergraduate level in Engineering in the multidisciplinary electrical sciences is proposed. The paper also proposes a course delivery mechanism model based on learn-by-doing approach to incorporate a practical hands-on on the design and validation of automotive control systems to enhance the specifi c learning outcome during the course delivery. The details of a virtual industry platform adopted for the course delivery to impart a team level project delivery and management experience to both the students and the faculty are presented.

Abstract

This paper presents details of an industry institute engagement evolved for effectively bridging the gaps & creating readily deployable manpower with the requisite talent and skill set for the automotive industry. The success story presented brings out the details of conceptualization, curriculum design and course delivery model for an interdisciplinary course on automotive electronics at the under graduate engineering program in electrical sciences. Issues of very strong involvement of the industry at different levels of the engagement, including the commitment of the top Management from both sides, and the dedication of the teams involved are discussed. How the faculty from the electronics background have worked together with the faculty from the automobile background to make this successful are brought out. The significant outcomes of this initiative in terms of learning takeaways, improvement in job readiness of the graduates and influence on research initiatives in various relevant domains are presented.
