As the electric vehicle (EV) industry continues to grow rapidly, there is a crucial need for hands-on education and innovation platforms that bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world EV applications. Recognizing this need, ISIEINDIA (Imperial Society of Innovative Engineers) has introduced its cutting-edge COE Lab (Centre of Excellence) model, which is now being recognized as one of the most impactful and future-ready initiatives in the Indian education and skilling ecosystem.
ISIEINDIA is not just a laboratory; it is a comprehensive ecosystem designed to empower students, educators, researchers, and startups with the tools, technology, and knowledge required to thrive in the electric mobility space.
What is a COE Lab?
A Centre of Excellence Lab is a specialized, high-end educational and research infrastructure that brings together practical EV learning, skill development, innovation, and industry collaboration under one roof. It provides:
Real EV component training (motors, batteries, controllers, BMS)
Hands-on prototyping and testing infrastructure
Curriculum integration for engineering, polytechnic, and ITI students
Research support for faculty and startups
Access to national competitions and innovation challenges
Why COE Labs are Critical Today
India is expected to become one of the largest EV markets in the world, with government initiatives like FAME-II, Skill India, and Atmanirbhar Bharat accelerating the transition. However, there's a noticeable gap in skilled manpower, and conventional education still lags when it comes to EV-specific training.
A COE Lab fills this gap by:
Providing access to cutting-edge EV technology and tools
Encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship among students
Supporting colleges in modernizing their technical education offerings
Enabling institutions to collaborate with industry and government bodies
What Makes ISIEINDIA COE Lab Stand Out?
ISIEINDIA has years of experience in EV skill development and has worked with over 300+ institutions across India. The COE Lab is designed as a plug-and-play model that adapts to any institution's size, budget, and vision.
Key Features:
Modular Setup: Each lab station is dedicated to a specific area—powertrain, battery systems, charging modules, etc.
Real-World Hardware: Includes BLDC/PMSM motors, battery packs, BMS, inverters, DC-DC converters, chargers
Software Integration: Access to MATLAB, CAN tools, ANSYS, and SolidWorks
Safety-Compliant Infrastructure: Ensures high-voltage safety standards and certified protection systems
Faculty Training & Certification: Equips educators with the skills needed to train effectively
Ideal Institutions for a COE Lab
The COE Lab model is suitable for:
Engineering Colleges & Universities: Focused on EV, ECE, Mechanical, Mechatronics, and Electrical streams
Polytechnics and ITIs: Those that want to add EV training programs
Skill Development Centers: Running programs under NSDC, ASDC, and other national missions
Private R&D and Innovation Hubs: For developing and testing EV components
COE Lab Curriculum & Training Modules
ISIEINDIA supports COE Labs with full academic integration, including:
Semester-aligned practical modules
Minor & Major project development
Final year EV-based project mentoring
Internship-linked training
Innovation hackathons and national EV competitions
These learning modules ensure that students not only observe but also actively participate in real-world EV building, testing, and troubleshooting.
