DOE GATE Center for Electric Drive TransportationThe Center for Electric Drive Transportation (CEDT) at the University of Michigan-Dearborn is established in 2011 with a grant from the U. S. Department of Energy's Graduate Automotive Technology Education (GATE) Program.
The GATE Program was first established in 1998 with 5 centers. This year (2011), it marks the third generation of 7 GATE Centers: - University of Michigan - Dearborn - Purdue University - The Ohio State University - Pennsylvania State University - Clemson University - The University of Colorado & Colorado Springs - University of Alabama
DOE's GATE initiative will award $6.4 million over the course of 5 years to support those 7 Centers of Excellence at American colleges, universities, and university-affiliated research institutions. The awardees will focus on 3 critical automotive technology areas: hybrid propulsion, energy storage, and lightweight materials. By funding curriculum development and expansion as well as laboratory work, GATE allows higher education institutions to develop multidisciplinary training. As a result, GATE promotes the development of a skilled workforce of engineering professionals who will overcome technical barriers and help commercialize the next generation of advanced automotive technologies.
As one of the seven university research centers that were awarded the prestigious grants, CEDT is dedicated to achieving the synergy among technological development, research and graduate education in automotive engineering, with a focus on the following thrust areas that are crucial for the development of electric drive transportation:
• Power electronics and electric machines  News and EventsApril 18, 2013 - 2-Day Training Course: Optimal Design and Simulation of Electric Machines and Drives The 2-Day Optimal Design and Simulation of Electric Machines and Drives Training Course is taught by leading international experts jointly organized and sponsored by the University of Michigan - Dearborn (GATE Center for Electric Drive Transportation, ANSYS, Inc. and Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA). The course will equip attendees with the theory and advanced simulation techniques required to effectively design electric machines and associated control systems. The emphasis will be on timely topics related to electric machine design optimization and its integration with controls and power electronics.
