3 CreditsGoal 7 - Human DiversityInternship/Co-opMathematical ThinkingTechnology and Society
Emerging battery and computer technologies are revolutionizing our daily transportation.Vehicle automation has the potential to reduce congestion, create new methods of traffic control, and change our travel patterns. 29% of United States greenhouse gas emissions come from transportation, and electric vehicles could help reduce the environmental impacts. This course presents an introductory exploration into automated and electric vehicle technologies from a transportation systems perspective. As you study emerging technologies, you will also get exposed to the engineering methods used to design current transportation systems.prereq: Recommended (High school algebra, trigonometry, and physics)
