What you will Learn:
Automotive Instructors are facing tsunami level changes in technologies that center on high voltage electric systems. Traditional automotive curriculum has not, and in many cases, does not include or has extremely limited electrified vehicle systems topics. Instructors have a key role in developing and preparing technicians that will be the diagnosticians and service arm within the automotive and transportation industries. The transition from traditional gasoline and diesel drive systems has recently taken a very quick departure in to the area of high voltage electric propulsion and battery systems. Underneath these technologies are concepts of varied battery technologies and alternating current systems that, have/are not a component of the traditional automotive education and training curriculum. Therefore, Instructors will need to transition their focus and personal development in to areas that define electric, plug-in and hybrid vehicle technology.
Join us in this impactful webinar that, will provide ideas for pathways to help instructors understand the areas they will need to develop a solid background and skills to address the changes in propulsion technology.
