Energy! Safety! Emissions! The economic and societal impact of the automotive industry on these issues is vast. Automotive technology is changing rapidly in response to these concerns. Is your curriculum preparing students to be ready to work in these advanced technologies?
The subject of this webinar, presented by the Center for Advanced Automotive Technology (CAAT), is how CAAT can support keeping your automotive, electronics, and IT curricula up-to-date. CAAT’s recent renewal through 2017 as an National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Center includes changes in its technical scope, adding new technologies: vehicle lightweight design and automated vehicles. The CAAT will continue also to focus on vehicle electrification and propulsion systems. The webinar will include highlights from the 2014 CAAT Conference, held earlier this year, which addressed the future of automotive technology as presented by several well-known industry experts. These presentations documented the need for improved curricula in these technical areas.
As part of the webinar, we will be soliciting proposals to apply for the additional seed funding. The CAAT now controls to develop curricula in these subjects. The seed funding portion of the agenda will include brief presentations from two current seed funding project developers so that potential applicants can understand better the types of projects suitable for seed funding support.
