Students Drive Electric Mobility Innovation in 5-Day MATLAB EV Design Programme

Bengaluru, 11th April 2026: Students at the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), Bengaluru, gained hands-on exposure to electric vehicle system design during a five-day Value Added Programme on “MATLAB-Based Design and Simulation of Electric Vehicle Systems”, held from 7 to 11 April 2026 in collaboration with MathWorks and CoreEL Technologies.

Organised by the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, the programme brought together students from the 4th and 6th semesters for an immersive learning experience focused on bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world EV engineering practice. The initiative aimed to equip participants with industry-relevant skills in modelling, simulation, and analysis of electric mobility systems using MATLAB and Simulink tools.

Across the five days, students were introduced to the fundamentals of electric vehicle architecture, including battery systems, motor drives, power electronics, and control strategies. Guided by experts from academia and industry, they explored how simulation tools are used to design and evaluate EV subsystems, with particular focus on battery modelling, energy efficiency, and system-level integration.

A key highlight of the programme was its strong emphasis on experiential learning. Participants engaged in structured hands-on sessions and mini-projects, where they developed and tested EV models in a simulated environment. Faculty members noted that this approach helped students translate classroom learning into practical engineering applications while strengthening problem-solving and analytical skills.

The programme also introduced emerging perspectives such as battery management systems and the potential role of AI and machine learning in improving energy efficiency and safety in electric mobility systems. Students worked closely with resource persons from MathWorks and CoreEL Technologies, gaining insight into current industry practices and expectations.

By the final day, participants had developed a clearer understanding of EV system design workflows and the challenges involved in sustainable transportation technologies. Many students reported that the simulation-based learning approach significantly enhanced their confidence in applying MATLAB to engineering problems.

The programme concluded with a valedictory session recognising active participation and learning outcomes. It reinforced the importance of industry-aligned training in preparing future engineers for the rapidly evolving electric vehicle sector, where innovation and sustainability continue to drive global demand.
