Introduction to Power Electronic Converters: In this course, you will learn why we need power converters. We will discuss the basic principles of power conversion and you will receive a brief overview of the various types of power converters. You will learn how to recognize different voltage, current, and power levels, as well as the AC or DC character of electrical power, through examples of common, present-day electrical applications. Power conversion and efficiency in battery systems: In this course, you will be taken into the lab to get acquainted with power conversion principles and efficiency measurements.

This course is offered in China only and presented in Mandarin Chinese. The course materials are bilingual (English and Chinese). Energy conservation and emission reduction has always been a goal for many countries. Especially since the introduction of China VI Vehicle Emission Standards and CAFC & NEV Credit Regulation, the output of NEVs has grown explosively while accompanied by a large number of car fire burning problems and complaints about the shortening of proclaimed electric-only driving range.

Looking for a solution that will provide a deeper understanding of the autonomous vehicle (AV) space for your employees? Hoping to offer training as a value add for employee retention? Need a flexible option online that can be taken anywhere, anytime? SAE’s Autonomous Vehicles for Transportation Professionals is the answer. The instructor, Dr. Rahul Razdan, is a leading authority in the field with extensive background in computing from his work at Carnegie-Mellon and Harvard Universities. He has written extensively on these topics at SAE with the landmark SAE Edge reports and on his Forbes transportation column.

Today's vehicles apply the primary function of a transmission: to couple the engine to the driveline and provide torque ratios between the two. How is this achieved? This eLearning course will familiarize you with the operational theories and functional principles of modern vehicle transmission systems designed to achieve the most efficient engine operation. Participants will learn about current designs, the components and sub-systems used, their functional modes, how they operate, and interrelationships.

This course introduces the highly mathematical field of control systems focusing on what the classical control system tools do and how they can be applied to automotive systems. Dynamic systems, time/frequency responses, and stability margins are presented in an easy to understand format. Utilizing Matlab and Simulink, participants will learn how simple computer models are generated. Other fundamental techniques in control design such as PID and lead-lag compensators will be presented as well as the basics of embedded control systems.
