AUTO 367A
Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Course Description
This course focuses on understanding the functions of automotive hybrid propulsion systems and the operating characteristics of hybrid drive systems. It involves the integration of high voltage power supplies and energy storage systems, as well as the fundamental operations of DC to DC converters. Additionally, it explores the correlation between internal combustion engines and motor generators, the purpose and configuration of regenerative braking systems, and the functionality of hybrid transmission systems and power splitting devices. The course also covers the utilization of the high expansion ratio cycle, the importance of understanding safety considerations when servicing hybrid electric vehicles, the use of specialized diagnostic equipment for hybrid electrical systems and their related subsystems, the appropriate procedures for repairing hybrid electrical systems, and the maintenance and servicing requirements for hybrid vehicles.

Footnote:
AUTO-367A-95: 1. This class mirrors the for-credit class of the same number (367A mirrors 67A), so the course description is the same. 2. Non-credit courses are intended for students who want to gain general knowledge, learn a new skill, upgrade existing skills, or enrich their understanding of a wide range of topics. 3. Non-credit courses cannot be used to earn an associate degree nor any college transcriptable certificates. They can, however, be used to earn non-transcriptable vocational certificates. 4. This course meets six weeks beginning April 8th. Be sure to register for both first and second-six week courses at the same time.
