Open House: Design of Electric Motors, Generators, and Drive System
The future runs on electric machines. Are you equipped to design them?
From vehicles to smart devices, electric actuators shape the world around us. As electrification accelerates across industries, engineers and product designers need more than familiarity with motors and drive systems—and demand for those who truly master them has never been higher.
That's why MIT created Design of Electric Motors, Generators, and Drive Systems—a course built entirely around the design process, giving you the hands-on expertise to engineer electric machines that perform across applications including traction drives, robotics, and automotive, aircraft, and marine propulsion systems.
Led by MIT professors James L. Kirtley, Jr. and Steven B. Leeb, this intensive five-day course takes you inside the physics, circuits, and energy systems behind electric motors, generators, and drives. Through lectures, MATLAB/Octave computer-based labs, and a hands-on PSoC hardware build session, you'll leave ready to evaluate, design, and build the electric machines powering tomorrow's products. The course is available both on-campus and in a live online format.
