Course Code	CESD-109
Course Name	Introduction to Hybrid Vehicles
Category	Transportation
Description	This course is designed as an overview of hybrid and electric vehicle technology currently in use in the industry. The emphasis of this course is on hybrid vehicles and the unique interaction between the internal combustion engine and the electric machine(s) of modern systems. Consumer concerns such as charging, range and user interfaces will be addressed to allow participants to better assist their customers. Students will explore the operation of all high voltage system components in greater depth including analysis of hybrid vehicle transmissions and different battery technologies. Vehicle high voltage safety systems will be discussed and entry level diagnostic methods with appropriate tooling will be introduced. Safe depowering procedures for hybrid vehicles will be reviewed and demonstrated in a lab setting. The student will reliably demonstrate the ability to: 1. Define and compare hybrid, electric, plug-in and traditional combustion engine vehicle technology. 2. Discuss driver interactions and concerns including vehicle interfaces, charging and range. 3. Explore the operation of main hybrid and electric vehicle components in both low and high voltage systems. 4. Investigate high voltage passenger safety systems and associated diagnostic tools. 5. Analyze battery and transmission technologies used in hybrid and electric vehicles.
Notes	** Students must have the following to enroll in this Course** - CESD 110 High Voltage Safety and Vehicle Systems completed - Minimum Level II Apprenticeship
