This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $561,318 to Brookdale Community College to prepare a workforce trained in the service and repair of electric vehicles (EVs). The project aims to infuse EV learning into existing automotive technology programs and create a stackable credential for incumbent automotive technology professionals. The new curriculum and educational materials will be disseminated nationwide to broaden the impact. The project also aims to recruit and retain women, who are underrepresented in the field, through mentoring, student clubs, and networking events. This initiative supports NSF's mission to ensure the vitality of the nation's STEM education enterprise and improve the preparation and diversification of the automotive technology workforce.
