1Who can take your course?

 Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering or relevant field with knowledge in electric machine theory.

2What is included in your course?

 Basics of Electric machine theory, electromagnetics, and the art of designing an electric machine.

3What will the student gain from your course?

 At the end of the course, the student will be skillful enough to design an electric motor and perform numerical and electromagnetic analysis using finite element analysis tools.

4What software skills are you teaching and how well are these tools used in the industry?

 Matlab and Ansys Electronics (Maxwell) are used in this course. Matlab is widely used in industry to simulate numerical models and Ansys is the most popular FEA tool used in electric machine designs.

5What is the real world application for the tools and techniques will you teach in this course?

For given specifications, the electric machines have to be custom designed. For example, a new high horsepower electric car will require a electric motor that provide higher torque while being compact. Although electric motor designs are well evolved, using low cost materials while keeping up with high torque density is always a challenge. This course will introduce tools to lay the groundwork before designing new machines.

6Which companies use these techniques and for what?

Most of the automobile companies use FEA tools in their motor designs. Several of them use Ansys Maxwell to solve their complex motor design requirements. In addition, several aircraft manufacturers also research on innovative traction motor designs.

7How is your course going to help me in my path to MS or PhD?

Although the basics of electric machines are introduced in Bachelors, the course work would lack any used case simulations. This course will take you to graduate level implementation of Electric machine theory and device it’s performance characteristics.

8How is this course going to help me get a job?

Adding Matlab and Ansys Maxwell to your resume will not only boost your profile but helps you get into the well-versed Electrical Engineering community. The Electric machine design is a hot research topic and the research publications in this area get several peer citations in short amount of time. In addition, there is literally no industry out there that doesn’t employ Electric machines as they race towards end to end automation. You will gain unique skillset by adding these tools to your profile which will help you get through interviews with ease.
