Hybrid Electric Vehicle Powertrain Design and Development

该提案是NSERC CREATE计划的工业流程，并为麦克马斯特大学，温莎大学以及加拿大和国际领先汽车公司之间的先进技术汽车合作奠定了基础。对化石燃料对气候变化、人口健康和环境的影响的关切导致全球汽车战略发生重大转变。我们已经进入了一个变革的时代，对替代技术进行了前所未有的投资，并越来越重视电气化。该提案符合汽车行业投资的最高优先领域，即开发新的电力储能和电力推进技术。****拟议的NSERC混合动力汽车动力系统设计和开发CREATE计划将为加拿大汽车行业提供具有国际竞争力所需的高素质人才。汽车行业在战略上和经济上都是国家的重点。2008年至2014年的经济大衰退对美国的打击尤其严重，严重影响了汽车生产和就业。这一趋势现在已经逆转，该行业正在迅速发展，需要HQP，特别是那些接受过先进电动和混合动力总成技术培训的人。通过获得世界一流的设施和由一组有成就的教师和工业主管的指导，HQP将成为有能力在工业和跨学科环境中有效工作的专家。该建议将重点放在卫生检疫人员的发展和全面发展以及他们的技术培训上。这项创新的培训计划将侧重于技术和专业技能的发展，以促进HQP从受训人员到加拿大汽车行业有价值的员工的过渡。****

This proposal is for the industrial stream of the NSERC CREATE program and lays the foundation for**collaboration on Advanced Technology Vehicles between McMaster, the University of Windsor, and leading Canadian and international automotive companies. Concerns related to the impact of fossil fuels on climate change, population health and the environment have resulted in a momentous shift in the global automotive strategy. We have entered an era of change and unprecedented investments on alternative technologies with increasing emphasis on electrification. The proposal is in line with the highest area of investment priority for the automotive sector that is the development of new electric energy storage and electric propulsion technologies.****The proposed NSERC CREATE Program in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Powertrain Design and Development will provide the Canadian automotive sector with the highly qualified personnel it needs to be internationally competitive. The automotive sector is strategically important and economically a national priority. It was particularly hard hit by the great recession of 2008-2014, severely impacting vehicle production and automotive jobs. The trend has now reversed and the sector is growing rapidly and in need of HQP, particularly for those with training in advanced electric and hybrid powertrain technologies. Through access to world class facilities and mentorship by a team of accomplished faculty and industrial supervisors, the HQP will become specialists with the capacity to work effectively in industrial and interdisciplinary environments. The proposal focuses as much on the developments and well roundedness of the HQP as well as their technical training. This innovative training program will focus on the development of technical and professional skills to facilitate the transition of HQP from trainees to valuable employees in the Canadian automotive sector.****
