With Matt’s experience on the Deakin Uni versity’s solar car projects as context\, this talk explores the key cha llenges that rely on electrical engineering knowledge. These include effic ient solar energy harvesting\, battery management and protection\, motor c ontrol strategies\, and real-time energy optimisation over long distances. \n\nThe presentation frames these as interconnected system-level problems: how to generate\, store\, convert\, and use energy as efficiently as poss ible under real-world constraints. The aim is to illustrate how electrical engineering underpins performance\, reliability\, and sustainability in m odern automotive applications\, and why these challenges are central to th e future of mobility.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Deakin University IEEE Student B ranch\n\nSpeaker(s): Matt Jennings\n\nAgenda: \nQ/A session after the semi nar on - Solar Cars as a Systems Platform: The Role of Electrical Engineer ing in Next-Generation Mobility\n\nBldg: School of Engineering\, KA3.411\, 75 Pigdons Rd\,\, Geelong\, Victoria\, Australia\, 3216\, Virtual: https: //events.vtools.ieee.org/m/557228 LOCATION:Bldg: School of Engineering\, KA3.411\, 75 Pigdons Rd\,\, Geelong\ , Victoria\, Australia\, 3216\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/ 557228 ORGANIZER:ieeesb@deakin.edu.au SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Solar Cars as a Systems Platform: The Role of Electrical Engineerin g in Next-Generation Mobility URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/557228 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p style="text-align: justify\;" data-olk-cop y-source="MessageBody">The Bridgestone World&nbsp\;<span class="markg6pb64 gxd" data-markjs="true" data-ogac="" data-ogab="" data-ogsc="" data-ogsb=" ">Solar</span>&nbsp\;Challenge highlights how modern vehicles are increasi ngly defined by electrical and electronic systems rather than purely mecha nical design.
