Open House: Design of Electric Motors, Generator, and Drive Systems

Design of Electric Motors, Generators, and Drive Systems is a five-day on-campus course led by MIT professors James L. Kirtley, Jr. and Steven B. Leeb. In this course, engineers and product designers will dive into the physics of electromagnetic actuators and gain a deep understanding of how they work. Participants will learn to evaluate and design their own electric motors, generators, and drive systems to breathe life into electric machines and motion control applications. At this virtual open house, you will:Meet MIT electrical engineering and computer science professors James L. Kirtley, Jr. and Steven B. LeebSee how the mix of lectures, computer-based lab exercises, and hardware build sessions lead to an in-depth understanding of electric motors and generatorsReview the learning outcomes and determine if this course may help you advance in engineering and/or product designAsk questions during a live Q&A session
