Dean: Mr. Clifford Smith
Associate Professor of Auto Technology: Robert McGowan
The Hybrid and Electric Vehicle program will allow the completer to apply the technical skill necessary to repair hybrid electric, electric, and fuel celled vehicles. The program of study will include high voltage safety, high voltage batteries, charging, inverter/converter operation, cooling systems, transmission, engines, and basic fuel cell technologies.
The Hybrid and Electric Vehicle program will immerse the student in the latest theory, demonstration, and hands on practice of this new technology. Students will use tools and diagnostic equipment from industry to understand, diagnose, and repair hybrid and electric vehicles in a professional atmosphere.
The actual "hands-on" training is very essential because it allows students to learn by gaining job experience combined with the related technical information. Applied training will include on-campus repairs to vehicles brought in by the public.
