TECH provides a comprehensive program on engine design without strict schedules and with access to content 24 hours a day"

Political-economic organizations such as the European Union seek to standardize the insertion of electric transport into the mobility networks of most countries. This initiative is a major challenge that encompasses the incorporation of complementary technologies, such as charging points for alternative cars on the urban route, continued research into non-polluting fuels and the inclusion of hybrid engines. In addition, there is a demand for professionals who promote innovative engineering solutions and advance in the search for energy efficiency, emissions reduction, noise pollution and energy regeneration.

In this context, TECH provides a comprehensive program composed of 4 academic modules. The postgraduate diploma  distinguishes itself by analyzing the main biofuels and other fuels of synthetic origin or based on natural gas, hydrogen, among others. It also addresses international regulations and the economic impact of these sustainable variants. At the same time, the syllabus examines heat and mechanical losses, measurement systems, as well as the main resources for the optimization of thermal and volumetric performance.

Also, the program delves into hybrid engines, including system architectures, vehicle design and development, system control and management, assessment and validation. It also examines its impact on society and the need to generate charging infrastructures. Finally, the lines that require greater research effort to continue generating advanced technologies and, at the same time, to control their impact on society are described. All these subjects guarantee graduates the necessary preparation to lead projects and give a definitive boost to their professional careers.

To do so, engineers will rely on a disruptive 100% online methodology, gaining access to its contents 24 hours a day. In addition, they will not be restricted by inconvenient schedules nor will they have to complete continuous assessment processes.
