Northwest Engineering and Vehicle Technology Exchange - NEVTEX
Resources
Central Oregon Community College (COCC) and Rio Hondo College (RHC) are working together to develop curriculum and training standards for technicians in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), electric vehicle (EV), and Fuel Cell (FC) vehicle systems.
While national training and licensure standards have been in place for many years for combustion engine technologies, this is not the case for electric drive and hydrogen fuel based technologies. There is a dearth of trained technicians to work at repair facilities, and licensure policies are not in place. NEVTEX has received funding from
the National Science Foundation (NSF / ATE Grant Award # 1700708) to begin to address these needs by partnering with industrial and educational representatives to obtain input and assistance to develop (1) new approaches to prepare an advanced technologies workforce, (2) licensure procedures and policies to ensure the safety of technicians, their
employers, and clients, and (3) collaboration between educational and industrial partners in the development of new standards and practices.
The Center for Advanced Automotive Technology at Macomb Community College in Michigan has been selected by NEVTEX to assist in the process of disseminating NEVTEX resources. All NEVTEX resources will be available on the CAAT’s NEVTEX page for viewing and downloading, and will be included in the CAAT Tracks newsletter.
