Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) and pure Electric Vehicle (EV) are potential technologies to reduce fuel consumption and emissions in transportation sector. To educate next generation of automotive engineers with strong background in hybrid/electric drive vehicles, Michigan Technological University and partnering institutions General Motors, AVL, Argonne National Laboratory, Woodward, and MathWorks, have built an HEV/EV interdisciplinary program to develop curriculum for the education and outreach in transportation electrification. Model-based design is emerging as an effective method to solve complicated control problems in automotive and aerospace industries. This paper presents the development of model-based embedded control course curriculum, one of the courses of Michigan Tech HEV/EV interdisciplinary program, to prepare students for their future career in automotive controls. The course goals, the development of teaching materials and associated laboratories, and the design of final project, are discussed. The developed course has been offered in Spring semesters since 2011 and received very positive feedback from students both in Mechanical Engineering – Engineering Mechanics (MEEM) and Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Departments at Michigan Tech.

Toyota’s introduction of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) named “Prius” in Japan and Honda’s proposed introduction of an HEV in the United States have generated considerable interest in the long-term viability of such fuel-efficient vehicles. A performance and cost projection model developed entirely at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) is used to estimate costs. ANL staff developed fuel economy estimates by extending conventional vehicle modeling done primarily under the National Cooperative Highway Research Program. Together, these estimates are employed to analyze dollar costs versus benefits of two of many possible HEV technologies. Incremental costs and fuel savings are projected for a Prius-type low-performance hybrid (14.3-s 0 to 60 mph acceleration, Z60 time) and a higher-performance “mild” hybrid vehicle (11-s Z60 time). Each HEV is compared with a U.S. Toyota Corolla with automatic transmission (11-s Z60 time). The base incremental retail price range, projected a decade hence, is $3,200–$3,750, before considering battery replacement cost. Historical data are analyzed to evaluate the effect of fuel price on consumer preferences for vehicle fuel economy, performance, and size. The relationship among fuel price, the level of change in fuel price, and consumer attitude toward higher fuel efficiency also is evaluated. A recent survey on the value of higher fuel efficiency is presented and U.S. commercial viability of the hybrids is evaluated using discount rates of 20 percent and 8 percent. The analysis, with its current HEV cost estimates and current fuel savings estimates, implies that the U.S. market for such HEVs would be quite limited.
