The electric vehicle is no more a symbol of the future; it is already present in our life and the necessity to train specialists in the field is obvious.

The aim of this master program is just to satisfy the society demand for these specialists and its curriculum is a guarantee of its usefulness; after graduating the program, the future masters of science will be able to successfully solve the challenges of manufacturing, maintenance and research in the electric vehicle domain.

They have the opportunity to learn about the electric vehicle system fundamentals, modeling and simulation, about electric machines and power electronic converters, having the possibility to master the details of the electric batteries and battery chargers running, battery management systems and energy storage requirements. They’ll get knowledge about control systems - continuous and digital, linear and nonlinear. For related fields, the program is useful, too.

The validity of this statement is demonstrated by lectures in Statistical Signal Processing and Estimation Theory, Renewable Energy and Storage Systems, Machine Learning for Autonomous Systems, Microprocessor Applications for Real Time Systems.

Master program’s objectives:

• Increasing the quality of the training of the engineers in electric propulsion.
• Stimulating the research in electric propulsion in the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest.
• Collaboration between the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest and industrials, mainly the representatives of developing automotive engineering (Renault, Continental, electric battery manufacturers, etc).
• Connection and collaboration between research teams in the faculties of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technologies, Automatics and Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.
• Stimulating the research collaboration between ETTI Departments.
• International collaboration.
