CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONICS

Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Automotive Electronics (AE) is to create and disseminate

knowledge through a range of high-quality academic program in a student-centered learning

environment to emphasize intellectual achievement and to increase employability in the field of

Automotive Electronics. This CoE dawns new ground in the Automotive Electronics training

sector for EEE, ECE and EIE departments’ students. Employment opportunities are expected

to keep pace with continuing rapid advances leading to increased demand for competent and

versatile graduates who can design and implement innovative solutions for the Automotive

Electronics industry in particular. Competition in the automotive industry is proliferating every

day and CoE-AE endeavors to continually infuse technological learning in students which will

reflect the skills in demand by the industry worldwide. Thus, our accelerated learning techniques

and blended learning experiences help students to maintain a competitive edge in the

automotive industry.

The global automotive industry has witnessed a lot of transformation in the last two

decades with the digitization of vehicles. Developing less expensive electronics architecture is

expected to expedite the demand for electronics and enable sophisticated functionalities as

standard features. Globally, electronic components are expected to be 50 per cent of the value

of a car by 2030. Extensive research in the areas of automotive power train, safety, control and

electronics is being pursued globally and is gaining momentum in India with active participation

from academia and industry. Thus, it is envisaged to be a Centre of Excellence focusing on

providing research solutions to the automotive industries through focused R&D in association

with the talent and capabilities at RMK Group of institutions.
