Industrial School of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) has acquired a buggy that will be the star of the teaching practices of the Master in Industrial Engineering at the intensification of electrically powered vehicles, as students will be tasked with "electrify the rear axle to build a hybrid vehicle, "explains Antonio Guillamón, director of the School.
"The Masters in Industrial Engineering, which enables to practice, have a high practical content and includes a commitment to electric vehicles are making the school" continues Guillamón.
"We have several projects underway shortly circulate an electric bicycle developed in collaboration with the Department for Infrastructure and Sustainability, for the Degree of Mechanical Engineering is working on a chassis for an electric scooter, along with an intelligent charging system that was developed at the Center, will let you know at all times the battery level and remotely program or automatically recharge the batteries through a mobile phone.
It is working on developing a smart Segway stability control based on inverted pendulum developed by the Department of Systems Engineering "details.

Moreover, UPCT received a grant from the Directorate General of Industrial CARM to install charging stations for electric vehicles with solar panels, infrastructure in the next course will start operating in the North Building Old Naval Hospital, headquarters of the School of Industrial.
"Clearly electrified vehicles and development of technologies for them today is in great demand in the industrial sector, medium and long term can be one of the most promising activities in our country and our region by geography where we are and the weather we enjoy.
Therefore, the Degree in Electrical Engineering supplemented by the Masters in renewable energy can be a very good option for future engineers, "concludes Guillamón.
