Electric Vehicle Education for New Jersey (EVE-NJ)

新泽西州已经制定了到2050年100%使用清洁能源的目标。电动汽车(EVS)的使用是实现这一清洁能源目标的重大举措。挑战是新泽西州和周边地区缺乏可用的电动汽车汽车技术培训。位于新泽西州蒙茅斯县的布鲁克代尔社区学院将通过将电动汽车学习融入现有的汽车技术课程和课程，培养一支接受过电动汽车服务和维修培训的劳动力队伍。布鲁克代尔社区学院将为在任的汽车技术专业人员创建一种“可堆叠”的证书。新的课程和教材将传播到全国各地的相关项目中，以扩大影响。该项目旨在招募在汽车技术项目和职业生涯中代表性不足的女性。为了留住所有学生，布鲁克代尔社区学院和汽车技术项目将提供一系列活动、研讨会和会议，由一名女性汽车技术协调员领导，她将成为学生的领导者和榜样。在提供高技能、高工资和高需求电动汽车职业培训的开放获取机会方面，该项目为更好地准备和多样化汽车技术劳动力提供了一个绝佳的机会。布鲁克代尔社区学院还将与汽车领域的神奇女性(AWA)合作，提供指导机会，建立一个学生俱乐部来指导汽车领域的女性，并在汽车贸易展会上举办网络/招聘晚宴。该项目由高级技术教育计划资助，该计划专注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NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

New Jersey has set a goal to use 100 percent clean energy by 2050. The use of electric vehicles (EVs) is a major initiative to meet this clean energy goal. The challenge is a dearth of available EV automotive technology training in New Jersey and the surrounding region. Brookdale Community College, located in Monmouth County, New Jersey, will prepare a workforce trained in the service and repair of EVs by infusing EV learning into existing automotive technology programs and courses. Brookdale Community College will create a “stackable” credential for incumbent automotive technology professionals. The new curriculum and educational materials will be disseminated to related programs across the country to broaden the impact.This project will aim to recruit women who are underrepresented in automotive technology programs and careers. To support the retention of all students, Brookdale Community College and the Automotive Technology Program will offer a series of events, workshops, and conferences led by a female automotive technology coordinator, who will serve as a leader and role model for the students. In providing open access opportunities for training in high-skill, wage, and demand EV careers, this project provides a prime opportunity to better prepare and to diversify the automotive technology workforce. Brookdale Community College will also work with Amazing Women in Automotive (AWA) to offer mentoring opportunities, establish a student club to mentor women within the automotive field, and host networking/recruitment dinners at automotive trade shows. 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.
