Vehicle Electrification Systems Standards Curriculum Description:
The Vehicle Electrification Systems Standards curriculum is provided by the Northwest Engineering and Vehicle Exchange (NEVTEX) and was developed by Central Oregon Community College (COCC) and Rio Hondo College (RHC). COCC and RHC worked together "to develop curriculum and training standards for technicians in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), electric vehicle (EV), and Fuel Cell (FC) vehicle systems." This curriculum was developed with the intention of addressing industry needs by partnering with industrial and educational representatives to obtain input and assistance to develop:
- new approaches to prepare an advanced technologies workforce,
- licensure procedures and policies to ensure the safety of technicians, their employers, and clients, and
- collaboration between educational and industrial partners in the development of new standards and practices.
The Vehicle Electrification Systems Standards are divided into 11 topics. This section of the standards covers the topic Electric Transmissions and Drive Units. The other 10 topics and a Master Acronym and Definition list are available to view separately.
Electric Transmissions and Drive Units Description and Contents:
This section of the Standards includes the following two documents: VI. a - Acronyms and Definitions, and VI. b - Overview of Electric Transmission, Transaxle, and Drive Units.
The 3-page acronyms and definition document contains a table for all of the terms related to this unit.
The 3-page overview document has students “describe the differences between electric transmissions, transaxles, drive units, and eAxles and identify each configuration.” The lesson plan includes a description, plus lists of activity objectives and tasks.
