Associate in Applied Science - Electric Vehicle Technology
60 credit hours
Catalog Year 2024-2025
The Electric Vehicle Technology program is designed to prepare students to meet the demands of the emerging field of manufacture, diagnosis, service, and repair of electric powered vehicles. The AAS and Certificates are designed to prepare individuals with the skills and competencies necessary for a variety of successful career options in assembly, maintenance and light repair, service advising, and as electric vehicle technicians through adoption of the habits and attitude necessary to excel in a highly competitive environment. The energy storage component of the program can be transferred from vehicles to post-vehicle battery second-life applications in stationary residential, commercial, and utility-scale energy storage systems.
The AAS is designed for both traditional and nontraditional students with minimum prior traditional automotive and/or electric vehicle experience. Students completing the Electric Vehicle Technology AAS will earn three stackable certificates aligned to in-demand occupations and industry certifications.
