Course Details
Description
The Model-Based Design Curriculum is a series of
self-paced learning modules aimed at developing a basic understanding
of Model-Based Design within the context of hybrid electric vehicles.
In this course, Model-Based Design is defined as a method for
developing mathematical models for physical systems and controllers in
complex systems such as a vehicle powertrain. The intent of this course
is to build understanding of complex systems through the development of
basic models that can be modified to incorporate more
complex behaviors. Basic Component Modeling is the first course in
the series. It provides an overview of model-based design, introduces
powertraing component and modeling, and also introduces powertrain
control strategies and applications.
The content of this course is designed
for sophomore or higher college engineering students. The models
developed in this module are built using MATLAB and Simulink release
2012b.
Prerequisites
This course assumes a basic understanding of MATLAB and Simulink.
