Electrifying the transportation sector is one of the major priorities to reach Net Zero emissions. The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) in the automotive sector is the largest technology shift in over 100 years. A new generation of skilled engineers is needed to address the cross-disciplinary challenges in the growing EV sector.
This certificate provides an opportunity for students to learn about EVs within the context of engineering applications and expand their understanding of the technical and environmental implications of engineering in EV design.
All undergraduate Engineering students are eligible to participate in this certificate program. Students who complete the requirements of the Certificate will receive a notation on their transcript upon graduation and are considered University of Toronto Sustainability Scholars.
