For the next few years, the plan matured and becamea reality. The first course of the program was offered on March 21, 2019, to a cohort of twenty-nine students. After the successful completion of the first cohort of students through the sixcourses of the program, ODU awarded Engineering Systems and Industrial EngineeringCertifications
manufacturing industry is currently a $16 billion industry and is expected to grow to $40,8 billion by 2024 [10]. The growing demands in additive manufacturing in industry require more trained individuals with this knowledge, skill sets, and competencies in 3D printing-related processes.b. The global battery management systems (BMS) market size is estimated to grow from USD $5.2 billion in 2019 to USD $12.6 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 19.5% based on markets and market statistics. The growth of this market is expected to be driven by the upward trend in electric vehicles, escalating the requirements for battery monitoring in renewable energy systems, as well as for effective electric grid management. c.
