六九色堂

Students completing the SAV certificate program will have the ability to:

1. Explain the basic levels of driving automation and operation of common ADAS technologies, as well as the operation of common intelligent transportation system architectures.
2. Explain the principles of operation of the various sensors and actuators common to autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles.
3. Analyze the motion of a ground vehicle based on its mechanical architecture.
4. Interpret sensory input data through perception algorithms, including image processing algorithms (for such tasks as lane and obstacle recognition).
5. Map an unknown environment.
6. Estimate aspects of a vehicle’s motion (position, velocity, etc.) based on sensor data.
7. Design algorithms for the real-time control of an autonomous vehicle and its subsystems.
8. Apply and develop high-level cognitive algorithms for perception, and the navigation and planning of an autonomous vehicle.
9. Implement vehicle, subsystem, and communication algorithms in software and/or hardware.
10. Employ simulation tools to implement and validate algorithms pertaining to vehicle and subsystem operation.

This is a 15-17 credit (five courses, plus labs if necessary) certificate program. Nine credits (three courses) are required core courses, and 6-8 credits (two courses, plus labs if necessary) are electives which may be chosen from the list below.  Students must maintain a 3.0 grade point average at the graduate level in order for the certificate to be granted. A student whose cumulative quality point average is below 3.0 is automatically placed on academic probation.
