Hybrid Electric Vehicle Powertrain Design and Development

该提案是针对NSERC Create计划的产业流，并为麦克马斯特、温莎大学和领先的加拿大及国际汽车公司在先进技术车辆方面的合作奠定了基础。对化石燃料对气候变化、人口健康和环境的影响的担忧导致了全球汽车战略的重大转变。我们已经进入了一个变革的时代，对替代技术的投资前所未有，越来越重视电气化。该提案符合汽车行业的最高优先投资领域，即开发新的电能储存和电力推进技术。拟议的混合动力汽车动力总成设计和开发NSERC 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。汽车行业在战略上具有重要意义，在经济上也是国家的优先事项。它受到2008-2014年大衰退的打击尤其严重，严重影响了汽车生产和汽车就业。这一趋势现在已经逆转，该行业正在迅速增长，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。通过获得世界级的设施和由经验丰富的教师和工业主管组成的团队的指导，HQP将成为有能力在工业和跨学科环境中有效工作的专家。该提案同样注重HQP的发展和完善，以及他们的技术培训。这一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从受训人员过渡到加拿大汽车行业的有价值的员工。

This proposal is for the industrial stream of the NSERC CREATE program and lays the foundation forcollaboration 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.
