Target audience
Programme
Mobility will continue to influence our daily life to a great extend. In the US one third of all energy is consumed by issues concerning mobility. Traffic nearly causes 20% of Europe’s total CO2 emissions. Thus, it is inevitable to develop environmentally friendly mobility systems to impose minimal disturbance to our climate and the environment.
Automotive companies worldwide are striving to develop vehicles that will allow us to save energy and protect our environment while staying mobile and independent at the same time. They have started to develop new technologies, new production methods and strategies to manage the growing amount of traffic properly. To tackle those challenges it requires globally thinking engineers and managers who are capable to combine competences in mechanical and electrical engineering with excellent know how in economics, business management and law.
Therefore, a “Green Mobility Engineering” master program has been designed at the KIT in Karlsruhe as an interdisciplinary program centered around energy management and mechatronics for the use in automotive applications. It draws on the long engineering tradition in Karlsruhe where Carl Benz, the inventor of the automobile, has received his academic education. Today the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is a worldwide landmark of engineering research and education.
Green Mobility Engineering will empower students to understand and successfully manage the most important technologies that will enable the automotive industry to master the challenges ahead. With the completion of the program – having earned a M.Sc. of the KIT- participants are well positioned to fill the urgent demand for specialists and leadership positions in this rapidly growing field of “green” technologies and applications.
Entry Requirements
