Session 1 - S1-1 Discover the Benefits of Using "Hands-On" Activities While Teaching
Details:
by Jim Wilson
sponsored by ATech Training
The real question is, do our students and technicians have the basic electronic foundation they will need to become successful in this industry?
Exploring the need for "Structured Skilled Development" can still be one way to approach training; by building from fact to understanding, working from simple to complex, learning through discovery, and then transferring knowledge to problem-solving. While taking this approach, we will explore teaching methods to incorporate more hands-on activities into training, using electrical system trainers with hands-on activities. Class focus will be on teaching basic electrical to advanced electrical/electronic diagnostics and troubleshooting systems.

Session 1 - S1-2 Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Battery Safety
Details:
by Bob McGinn
sponsored by CCAR and Electude
As an Automotive Instructor, you are likely teaching your students safety best-practices as part of your regular curriculum. But what about you? Wouldn't YOU like to have credentials to back up your knowledge of safety best-practices as they relate to hybrid and electric vehicle battery safety? In this session, you will learn;
- safety best practices for evaluation and handling of possibly compromised high voltage batteries.
- a closer look at the hazardous processes that can occur in lithium ion power systems.
Successful completion of the final exam (which is given at the conclusion of the session) will generate a Certificate of Completion credential for each instructor in the session.
CCAR (The Coordinating Committee For Automotive Repair) and Electude have partnered to deliver a new online safety curriculum and credential designed for today’s generation of automotive learners.
CCAR eSafety engages and guides learners to an understanding of automotive safety best-practices, preparing them to receive the CCAR’s automotive student safety course completion certificate.

Session 7 - S7-3 Tools for the Flipped Classroom
Details:
by Darcy Wedel
The rapid switch to online learning during the height of the pandemic, not only disrupted student learning for a time, it forever changed the way technical content is delivered going forward.
Now that we're back face-to-face, teachers are struggling to keep students engaged, while at the same time working feverishly to get students caught-up to where they need to be.
For Automotive and Heavy Vehicle instructors, the struggle is amplified by the ever increasing and often abstract technologies used in today's vehicles.
Consulab and Electude are here to help! In this session we will discuss strategies for bridging the gap between the theoretical and the practical; not only improving student engagement and comprehension, but also maximizing training efficiency, to best prepare students for working on today's vehicles.

Session 9 - S9-1 Connected, Automated and Intelligent Vehicles
Details:
by Nelson Kelly
sponsored by Macomb Community College, The Center for Advanced Automotive Technology
One of the major megatrends affecting the automotive industry is the increasing ability of a vehicle to sense and communicate with its surroundings and to use that information to control important vehicle functions. Using cameras, radar, wireless technology, and powerful computers that can combine the input data to control steering, braking, and acceleration, the vehicle can assist the driver or even drive itself. The impetus for this initiative is increased safety, although some of the initial systems are more focused on driver convenience. Topics of discussion for this session will include:
- How sensors, such as cameras, radar, and Lidar (experimental at present), along with computer controlled electromechanical devices, can assist the driver at different levels of automation.
- How adding wireless connectivity to other vehicles, the infrastructure along with precision global positioning information can increase the level of automation such that, under certain circumstances, the vehicle can drive itself.
- The need for cybersecurity as vehicles use wireless technology and become increasingly connected to the outside world so that they are vulnerable to hackers.
