How is advanced manufacturing different from traditional manufacturing, and does the course cover these differences?
Traditional manufacturing relies on manual labor and basic machinery (e.g., stamping presses, welding equipment, mechanical assembly).
Advanced manufacturing uses cutting-edge technologies: robotics, automation, AI, machine learning, digital twins, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and IoT.
Real-life examples of advanced manufacturing in EV manufacturing:
- Tesla's Giga Press casting a car body in one shot, reducing hundreds of parts to one
- Monitoring battery material recycling and traceability
Yes. This course covers many of the fundamental topics and skills needed for EV manufacturing.
Does this course cover current trends in manufacturing, such as automation, IoT, or sustainable manufacturing practices?
EV manufacturing is one of the most transformative and fast-growing trends in the global manufacturing industry today. It represents a shift not just in what we build (electric vehicles vs. internal combustion engine vehicles), but how we build them—integrating advanced technologies, sustainability practices, and workforce evolution. This course covers the fundamentals of EV manufacturing.
