By the end of this project, the following are expected:
Build a training center equipped with the latest technological devices for training engineers and technicians for ZEVs at California State University, Long Beach
Training of trainers to work at the center
ABOUT US
The ZEV Program offers a 4-course certificate program to each cohort.
A new cohort begins each academic semester (Spring 2023, Fall 2023, Spring 2024, Fall 2024).
We are funded by the California Energy Commission to educate and foster the next generation of certified engineers and technicians to combat vehicle smog and greenhouse gas emissions.

Activities
Investigating the latest trainers in the field of ZEV that best match the needs of the local market in California
Allocating an appropriate site and furnishing it for training purposes at the University
Preparing the necessary training materials
Integrating the training courses within the curricula

Hands-On Experience
The Zero-Emission Vehicle Program highly values hands-on experience for our participants.
Specifically, we encourage students to engage with the material by having only 1 hour of seminar and 3 hours of laboratory time for each course. Thus, students can interact with the material and develop practical skills.
Course Materials
Those who are enrolled in the program can access their respective course materials through BeachBoard/CANVAS.
