1. Program Overview

The Nanodegree in EV Engineering, Automotive Design, Development and Dynamic Analysis is a 6-month, hardware-enabled program designed to equip mechanical and automotive engineers with end-to-end competencies in electric vehicle design, structural simulation, vehicle dynamics, motor and drive systems, and automotive concept styling. Created by I3C–IIT Jammu in collaboration with DIYguru eMobility Academy, this program uses industry-standard tools — SOLIDWORKS, ANSYS (FEA, CFD, Thermal, Modal), Autodesk Alias, MATLAB, and SIMULINK — and is delivered through a blend of live faculty-led sessions, hands-on hardware labs, industrial zone exposure in Pune, and a 1-week IIT Jammu campus immersion.

The program follows a three-phase curriculum: Phase 1 (Month 1–2) covers EV Foundations including industry ecosystem, battery technology, motors, electrification, charging systems, and hands-on 2W & 4W EV design and modelling with SOLIDWORKS; Phase 2 (Month 3–4) covers Intermediate topics including fundamentals of vehicle dynamics, motor & drive system design and optimisation for EVs, and ANSYS from fundamentals to structural analysis; and Phase 3 (Month 5–6) covers Advanced topics including advanced ANSYS for EV engineering and automotive concept design with Autodesk Alias.

The global computer-aided engineering (CAE) market is projected to grow from USD 12.28 billion in 2025 to USD 19.96 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 10.2% (MarketsandMarkets, 2025). In India, the CAE market is expanding at a CAGR of 15.9% (Future Market Insights, 2025), driven by rapid industrialisation and the EV revolution. The automotive sector accounts for 28.4% of total engineering software demand (Mordor Intelligence, 2024). The automotive simulation software segment alone is expected to reach USD 12.95 billion by 2030 — yet 94% of employers report a shortage of skilled CAE engineers (Mordor Intelligence, 2025).

DIYguru is recognised and endorsed by the Ministry of Education, NITI Aayog, and NEAT AICTE for its commitment to upskilling in automotive and EV technologies. With 95,000+ professionals trained across 320+ industry partners including Bosch, Hyundai, Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, and Altair, the program maintains 100% placement assistance through the dedicated emobility.careers placement engine.
