The NSF-ATE Northwest Engineering and Vehicle Technology Exchange (NEVTEX) due #1700708* Grant is moving ahead on creating the Advanced Vehicle Technician Standards for high-pressure and high-voltage systems. The Advisory for this grant will be compiling and broadcasting the results of this work during the 2020 year. 18 Advanced Standards have been identified and are being developed as the national standards for electric and fuel cell systems. Based on the pattern that we are following in the current grant, we are considering standards development for ADAS systems as part of the next NSF-ATE Project or Center. NEVTEX participants have held multiple conversations with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Training Division. There is a mutual need by industry and education to create a mechanism to certify Vehicle Electrician Technicians. (http://www.sae-itc.org/probitas/) NEVTEX is moving ahead with a plan to promote “Certification Instructors” who are trained on how to monitor SAE Certifications – both web testing and practical testing. Education and industry working together to create “SAE Testing Hubs” established around the country will determine the next steps. If your college Vehicle Electrification Program instructors are interested in participating in the development of the practical testing site preparation please contact Ken Mays – PI for the NEVTEX Grant- kmays@cocc.edu. *National Science Foundation- Advanced Technological Education https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5464 *Northwest Engineering and Vehicle Technology Exchange (NEVTEX) due #1700708 https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1700708&HistoricalAwards=false ContributorKen Mays Webinar Recording: "Why the Automotive Aftermarket Needs to Stop Worrying About Tesla"

This year's workshop focused on the Chevrolet Volt (Gen 1 & 2), Bolt EV, and Spark EV. Below are photos from the course. Course and registration information for the 2020 Summer Workshop will be announced by FutureTech SOON. See you all next year! The Automotive Software & Electronics Boot Camps are coming to Shoreline Community College4/12/2019  Shoreline Community College will be hosting both the Fundamentals and Intermediate Boot Camps in summer 2019! AVTGNW members receive 15% off of the registration fee.
Participants are required to take the Fundamentals boot camp prior to the intermediate boot camp. Automotive Instructors and Technicians are constantly being challenged by changes in electronics systems and control software in advanced automotive systems. This course contains lecture with significant hands-on project content that will make for the perfect learning environment! Using the popular Arduino Microcontroller, participants will be introduced to MC and electronics to build new hardware (H/W), firmware (F/W), & software (S/W) knowledge that can be used directly with automotive systems. FutureTech's Automotive Software & Electronics Fundamentals Boot Camp has the following topics to address these challenges that confront automotive industry service and diagnostic professionals:
As part of the course each participant will receive a MC, software, a USB cable that they take with them when the course has been completed. This will afford the opportunity for participants to continue learning after completing the course!  Join us for the Summer Workshop Hands-On Training at PCC - Sylvania!
Course content will be covering the Chevrolet Volt, Bolt, and Spark EV. This hands-on and lecture technical training will provide an overview of components, operation, and core system functions of the Gen 1 and Gen 2 Chevrolet Volt, Bolt, and Spark EV. Participants can expect to learn certain diagnostic strategies, differences between model years, and product-specific information. This course is approximately 35 hours in length and lunch, snacks, and beverages will be provided daily.

Central Oregon Community College 2018 was a remarkable year for Advanced Vehicle Training Group Northwest. With the incredible help of Future Tech Auto, we launched a membership drive that includes a subscription to Access-OnDemand. Access-OnDemand is the premier online training platform to help automotive industry service professionals and educators prepare for training and competency validation with vehicle electrification systems. As a college instructor, I am introducing the Lithium Ion sequence during my Hybrid/Electric Vehicle (HEV) class this winter. Historically, Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) has been the dominant technology in HEV batteries, and students have been well prepared to tackle issues that arise as well as “predictive maintenance”. As Lithium technologies become more prominent in aftermarket vehicle maintenance, it is clear that students will need to engage with it a well. This winter’s class, I anticipate great student interactions and enhancement of the classroom experience with live Lithium Ion batteries in the lab for testing and balancing. We are utilizing FutureTech's NxtGen Service Solution for these hands-on experiences. The live training offered at Portland Community College during summer 2018 was well received and well worth the investment as educators and industry representatives blend together to adapt and prepare for the transportation explosion of vehicle electrification. New AVTGNW member – Shoreline Community College (Seattle) – will also host a live class during the summer of 2019. As you all have watched the national and global transition over the last 20 years, I believe that you can all agree that 2019 will be the year on the electric drive industry. If you have not done so already, consider joining Advanced Vehicle Training Group NW. Your college – your company – your future. Ken Mays
Central Oregon Community College Bend, OR With the help of a National Science Foundation (NSF) – Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Grant, the Central Oregon Community College Automotive Technology Program started a new degree titled AAS Automotive Technology in Electronics and Diagnostics. Contained in this degree are nine short-term certificates that culminate with outcomes that prepare graduates to enter the world of vehicle electrification systems. In the winter of 2018, three Tesla START representatives visited with Central Oregon Community College to explore the possibility of a training partnership. The Central Oregon community was well represented – the name Tesla brings excitement into any room. We thought that Central Oregon Community College has the image that a green company like Tesla would embrace. To be realistic, even though Tesla has a growing market share in Central and Eastern Oregon, there is only one Tesla Service center in Oregon (Portland). A major requirement to have a community college / Tesla partnership is the nearby Tesla Service Center. Here is why. Tesla START screens community college graduates to insure a “fit” into the Tesla organization. To start the 12-week Tesla START training, students are hired by Tesla and receive a salary for the required 600 hours. During the 12-week course, the Tesla START employees serve in the Tesla Service Center for a portion of their training. Upon graduation of the 12-week course, these new employees may be assigned locally, but more likely in another area of the country where these graduates will work with 3-4 person teams on an advanced pay scale as a Level 2 Technician. The opportunities grow from there. Two COCC graduates have completed the AAS degree at Central Oregon Community College with my strong recommendation. One graduate was accepted to the Tesla START program at Central Piedmont Community College in North Carolina. The second graduate was accepted at the new Tesla START site located on the campus of Shoreline Community College in Washington. We hope to enter into a partnership with Tesla START in the near future. The hope that I offer my students - not just technical capacity, but industry awareness and leadership – helping to chart the future for our community and nation. As the reader, you recognize that our transportation methods are quickly changing and the skill sets for future technicians and industry leaders is quickly changing. Great opportunities now exist for students with science and math skills, computer and programming skills, industrial and automotive skills, and always community building skills.  If you missed the June 2018 Automotive Software & Electronics course, you'll now have the opportunity to get training in 2019!
AVTGNW member FutureTech has expanded the scope of the training and is now offering the Automotive Software & Electronics Boot Camps in Fundamentals, Intermediate, and Advanced levels. Those that took the June 2018 course have completed the Fundamentals Boot Camp and can build on their new skills in the Intermediate Boot Camp.
