Hybrid and electric vehicles currently represent 10 percent of the total market share of all vehicles on the road in the United States. The past twenty years have seen remarkable growth in this industry with expansion not only in the number of electric vehicles, but also the variety of engine types which include hybrid, fully electric, and plug-in electric. This rapid growth has created a need for trained automotive technicians in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) and Electric Vehicle (EV) platform technologies. Minnesota State Community and Technical College will meet this need by creating Open Educational Resources (OER) and two new stackable certificates that will enable current students, past graduates, and current industry technicians to advance their knowledge and capabilities to diagnose, service, repair, replace, and maintain these technologies. The college will create two new academic certificates and recruit current students and recent graduates from the Automotive Technology program. These certificates represent the kind of specialized training that regional employers have been seeking for their technicians.Minnesota State Community and Technical College will align their current program offerings to address trends in regional training and make them more accessible by creating Open Education Resources. In partnership with the Midwest Teachers of Technical and Industrial Areas (MTTIA), the team will provide training to secondary and post-secondary instructors in Hybrid and Electric Plug-In Technologies. The classes that support these new certificates will be developed at Minnesota State Community and Technical College and will be expanded to include Riverland College as a model for widespread dissemination. Equipment from this program includes a 125-kilowatt capable charging station that will simultaneously support public infrastructure and student training. Community based “Ride and Drive” events will be organized by students as community-based education events that will empower students to become ambassadors for the electric car revolution. An evaluation plan will measure the project’s ability to design and disseminate certificates that meet the needs of industry and provide a path to employment for students. This project is funded by the Advanced Technological Education program that focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced-technology fields that drive the Nation's economy.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

混合动力和电动汽车目前占美国道路上所有车辆总市场份额的10%。在过去的二十年里，这个行业取得了显著的增长，不仅电动汽车的数量有所增加，而且发动机类型的种类也有所增加，包括混合动力、全电动和插电式电动。这种快速增长创造了对混合动力电动汽车（HEV）和电动汽车（EV）平台技术训练有素的汽车技术人员的需求。明尼苏达州社区和技术学院将通过创建开放教育资源（OER）和两种新的可堆叠证书来满足这一需求，这将使当前的学生、过去的毕业生和当前的行业技术人员能够提高他们的知识和能力，以诊断、服务、维修、替换和维护这些技术。该学院将设立两种新的学历证书，并招收汽车技术专业的在校生和应届毕业生。这些证书代表了地区雇主一直在为他们的技术人员寻求的那种专业培训。明尼苏达州立社区和技术学院将调整他们目前的课程提供，以解决地区培训的趋势，并通过创建开放教育资源使它们更容易获得。该团队将与中西部技术和工业地区教师（MTTIA）合作，为中学和大专教师提供混合动力和插电式技术培训。支持这些新证书的课程将在明尼苏达州社区和技术学院开设，并将扩展到Riverland学院，作为广泛传播的典范。该项目提供的设备包括一个125千瓦的充电站，它将同时支持公共基础设施和学生培训。以社区为基础的“骑行和驾驶”活动将由学生组织，作为社区教育活动，使学生成为电动汽车革命的大使。评估计划将衡量项目设计和分发满足行业需求的证书的能力，并为学生提供就业途径。该项目由先进技术教育计划资助，该计划侧重于为推动国家经济的先进技术领域培养技术人员。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
