Description
Are you a mechanical engineer looking to break into the world ofelectric motors, EV powertrains, or industrial automation?

Thisbeginner-friendly courseis designed to provide a strong foundation in electric motor technology — not from an electrical theory perspective, but from the lens of amechanical engineer. Whether you’re preparing for technical interviews, working on EV motor projects, or entering a new role in product development, this course bridges the critical knowledge gap betweenelectrical function and mechanical design.

You’ll explorereal-world examples, simplified explanations, and hands-on engineering logic behind electric motors used in today’s vehicles, HVAC systems, pumps, and automation equipment.

We go beyond just how motors work — you'll learn:

How stators, rotors, shafts, bearings, housings, and keys function and interact

Material choices and manufacturing processes like casting, stamping, machining, and thermal treatments

Design principles for thermal management, NVH (noise/vibration), torque transmission, and mounting integration

Step-by-step motor development workflow, from requirement gathering to design, simulation, prototyping, and testing

Common industry interview questions explained with simple, clear reasoning

By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped to confidently contribute toelectric motor design, validation, and system integration, especially in EV and industrial domains. Whether you're a student, early-career engineer, or transitioning into the field, this course will empower you with the skills and mindset to thrive in electric motor technology.

Who this course is for:
- Mechanical engineering students and graduates
- Engineers transitioning to EV, robotics, or automation sectors
- Professionals preparing for job interviews in motor or automotive companies
- Anyone curious about the mechanical side of electric motors
