Course objectives:
(1)To Understand the fundamental laws and vehicle mechanics.
(2)To Understand working of Electric Vehicles and recent trends.
(3)Ability to analyze different power converter topology used for electric vehicle application.
(4)Ability to develop the electric propulsion unit and its control for application of electric vehicles.
Teaching-Learning Process (General Instructions)

These are sample Strategies, which teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the various course outcomes.
1. Lecturer method (L) needs not to be only traditional lecture method, but alternative effective teaching methods
could be adopted to attain the outcomes.
2. Use of Video/Animation to explain functioning of various concepts.
3. Encourage collaborative (Group Learning) Learning in the class.
4. Ask at least three HOT (Higher order Thinking) questions in the class, which promotes critical thinking.
5. Adopt Problem Based Learning (PBL), which fosters students’ Analytical skills, develop design thinking skills
such as the ability to design, evaluate, generalize, and analyse information rather than simply recall it.
6. Introduce Topics in manifold representations.
7. Show the different ways to solve the same problem with different circuits/logic and encourage the students to
come up with their own creative ways to solve them.
8. Discuss how every concept can be applied to the real world - and when that's possible, it helps improve the
students' understanding.

Course outcome (Course Skill Set)

At the end of the course the student will be able to :
(1) Explain the roadway fundamentals, laws of motion, vehicle mechanics and propulsion system design.
(2)Explain the working of electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles in recent trends.
(3)Model batteries, Fuel cells, PEMFC and super capacitors.
(4)Analyze DC and AC drive topologies used for electric vehicle application.
(5)Develop the electric propulsion unit and its control for application of electric vehicles.
Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)
The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%. The
minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks out of 50). A student shall be deemed
to have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course if the student
secures not less than 35% ( 18 Marks out of 50)in the semester-end examination(SEE), and a minimum of 40%
(40 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End
Examination) taken together
Continuous Internal Evaluation:
Three Unit Tests each of 20 Marks (duration 01 hour)
1. First test at the end of 5th week of the semester
2. Second test at the end of the 10th week of the semester
3. Third test at the end of the 15th week of the semester
Two assignments each of 10 Marks
4. First assignment at the end of 4th week of the semester

5. Second assignment at the end of 9th week of the semester
Group discussion/Seminar/quiz any one of three suitably planned to attain the COs and POs for 20 Marks
(duration 01 hours)
6. At the end of the 13th week of the semester
The sum of three tests, two assignments, and quiz/seminar/group discussion will be out of 100 marks and will be
scaled down to 50 marks
(to have less stressed CIE, the portion of the syllabus should not be common /repeated for any of the methods
of the CIE. Each method of CIE should have a different syllabus portion of the course).
CIE methods /question paper is designed to attain the different levels of Bloom’s taxonomy as per the
outcome defined for the course.
Semester End Examination:
Theory SEE will be conducted by University as per the scheduled timetable, with common question papers for
the subject (duration 03 hours)
 The question paper will have ten questions. Each question is set for 20 marks.
 There will be 2 questions from each module. Each of the two questions under a module (with a maximum of
3 sub-questions), should have a mix of topics under that module.
The students have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module.
