Course Report
The requirements for this program directly support the necessary foundations in Electrical and Body Electronics. The inclusion of Hybrid and EV courses align with the initial launch and implementation of many of the ADAS and New Vehicle Technologies. Two new courses are being proposed (ATEC 92 and ATEC 93) to provide the instruction on ADAS and New Vehicle technologies.
The development of these materials have been a part of the Strong Work Force Regional Project, and is intended to be available to other participating institutions.
