This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $649,999 funds Macomb Community College to develop automotive technician education programs focused on electric, automated, and connected vehicles. The project leverages a previous NSF-funded Electric Vehicle (EV) certificate program to create a new associate degree program in EV technology, upgrade the EV certificate, and develop new certificates in Connected Automated Vehicles (CAV) and Cybersecurity. The program targets underemployed adults, secondary students, women, and minorities to expand the talent pool for this critical industry need. Key products include co-developed curricula aligned with industry standards, early exposure activities for high school students, and hybrid/virtual delivery through the Michigan Association of Community Colleges' EPIC Consortium. This award is funded through the NSF's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, which supports developing the nation's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education capabilities.
