CAEV Training Program – Connected, Autonomous & Electric Vehicle Course by JSW MG Motor India Pvt. Ltd.
Events Date: Aug. 12, 2024 to Aug. 22, 2024
Event brief description
The Connected, Autonomous, and Electric Vehicle (CAEV) Training Program was organized by JSW MG Motor India Pvt. Ltd. under the MG Nurture Program. Conducted from 12th to 22nd August 2024, the program aimed at equipping faculty members with hands-on and experiential learning related to electric vehicles (EVs), autonomous technologies, and connected vehicle systems.
The course was delivered in hybrid mode – with online sessions covering theoretical concepts and offline sessions hosted at the MG Motors Plant in Halol, Gujarat. The initiative emphasized bridging the gap between academia and the rapidly evolving automotive industry by fostering industry-aligned knowledge and future-ready skills among faculty.
More than thirty faculty members from institutions across India attended this training, contributing to the broader goal of creating job-ready graduates capable of contributing to the field of EV and autonomous vehicle technologies.
Event Detailed Description
The CAEV course was structured into online and on-ground modules to offer both theoretical and practical insights into modern automotive technologies.
Online Sessions:
Day 1 – Electric Vehicle Fundamentals:
Topics included EV architecture, vehicle dynamics, drive cycle simulation, Li-ion battery cells, Battery Management Systems, and hardware-software integration.
Day 2 – Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS):
Covered ADAS features, active and passive safety systems, RADAR, LIDAR, sensor fusion, adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and more.
Day 3 – Connected Vehicles:
Topics included IoT technologies, connected devices, access networks, edge computing, and customer edge services.
On-Ground Training (MG Motors Plant, Halol):
Participants engaged in live sessions on computer vision, image processing, autonomy levels, and technology stacks. The training also showcased key hardware components like motors, power distribution units, and inverters.
A guided plant visit was conducted where faculty witnessed real-time vehicle assembly including engines, battery packs, and motors. MG’s production line delivers 15 vehicles per hour, producing models like MG Comet, Hector, Gloster, and the ES EV.
This initiative provided valuable exposure to modern manufacturing and automotive systems, empowering faculty to bring current industry practices into the classroom.
Department Name: Department of Mechanical Engineering, Galgotias University
Event Outcome:
The CAEV course provided an in-depth multidisciplinary understanding of electric, autonomous, and connected vehicle systems. Faculty gained exposure to EV component design, ADAS integration, and IoT-based vehicle connectivity. This collaboration between Galgotias University and MG Motor represents a leap toward offering industry-relevant education and shaping the future of mobility through academic empowerment.
