Overview of CAAT A Partnership of Macomb Community

Overview of CAAT A Partnership of Macomb Community College and Wayne State University July, 2012

What is CAAT? • Center for Advanced Automotive Technology at Macomb Community College and Wayne State University • Grant awarded for four years in September, 2010, by the NSF as a Regional Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Center – Focus on two-year colleges and cultivating partnerships: • Across academic institutions • Between academic institutions and employers – Key role is curriculum reform, development, and dissemination 2

Purpose of CAAT • Purpose: Advance the preparation of skilled technicians for the automotive industry which are now developing and producing more fuel efficient, environmentally friendly vehicles. The technologies, growing rapidly with implications for the nation’s electrical infrastructure, include: – Hybrid Electric, (HEV), Plug-in/Extended Range Electric (PEV) and Electric Vehicles (EV) – Alternative Fuel Vehicles (Advanced Clean Diesel, CNG, LPG) – Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCV) – Vehicle Lightweighting

Why CAAT? Automobile Industry is Crucial to Energy Use in the US ~80% vehicles ~60% autos and light trucks 4

Well-to-Wheels Efficiency Well-to-Tank Generation 33% Tank-to-Wheels Transmission 94% 31% Refining 82% 23% 76% Transmission 98% 80% Plug-to-Wheels 76% 80% = 23% Pump-to-Wheels 13% 16% = 13% Source: http: //www. nesea. org 5

Do Hybrid and Electric Vehicles Make Sense? ay od • T • • No Increase vehicle prices Internal combustion technologies becoming more energy efficient May be viewed as unsafe Recharging of BEVs takes too long Require expensive plug-in infrastructure to support charging Yes • • • e tur u F • • Require increased R&D spending to realize performance potential Require increased investment in new technologies and workforce training May require increased generating capacity Increase dependency on risky rare earth metals • • • DAF 14 nov 11 Offer major reductions in oil dependency Reduce greenhouse gases Operate more efficiently and cost effectively Vehicles now in production perform well and reliably Reduce emissions at the tailpipe, important in large cities Government subsidies for consumers may offset initial cost penalties May be necessary to meet strict future fuel economy standards Battery costs likely to reduce 5 -7% per year over next ten years Petroleum likely to become more expensive relative to electricity May be critical in race for global leadership in transportation technologies Residual value of Li-ion batteries may partially offset initial costs Technology can be applied to fuel cell vehicles

Surveys of Industry Needs • MCC and WSU conducted, in 2008, a workforce needs survey in Advanced Automotive Technology as part of an ATE Center planning grant: – Workforce demand over next 5 years “high” (66. 7% for engineers and 57. 1% for technicians) – Community Colleges are meeting industry needs at least “moderately well” only 45% of the time • Two new surveys went out this month in partnership Workforce Intelligence Network for Southeast Michigan (WIN): – Data on industry skills needs for engineers, designers, and technicians – Specific gaps between industry expectations and the preparation of the workforce pool

What’s in It for Our Industry Partners? • Resource for: – Creating a technician pipeline (graduate or certified) – Increasing skills of current employees/technicians • Partner to: – Plan for future technical needs – Educate the general public
