1. ADVANCED TRANSPORTATION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY PROGRAM

2. ATRE’S MISSION
To keep California competitive as a national leader in advanced transportation (automotive, aviation, and rail) and renewable energy technologies
Advanced Transportation: To facilitate the training of technicians for the rapidly evolving, technology-driven transportation industry including:
Alternate fuels, e.g., hybrid, electric, fuel-cell, CNG—for automotive, medium/heavy duty trucks, transit, fleets, AG
Develop programs to support evolving technologies: autonomous and connected vehicle systems, drones, battery storage
Aviation: facilitating regional discussions: faculty and employers
Renewable Energy Industry (Solar, Wind, Geothermal): To focus on the skills needed by students, faculty, incumbent workers
Special Initiatives: Auto ESL, Pathways, Internships, Soft Skills, SWP
To improve the environment and stimulate the economy.

8. Trends: From the Horseless Carriage to the Driverless Car: The Future is Here

9. Trends Impacting Auto Industry
Automotive Technologies have been rapidly changing and requiring the review and modification of curriculum
New powertrains to accommodate electric and hybrid
On-board electronic systems expanding to include connective and extensive Infotainment systems
Safety features: lane detection, blind spot detection, collision avoidance systems
Autonomous and Connected systems technologies
Large Scale Retirements—employers and fleets poaching employees; Major shortfalls looming. College programs report that they do not have enough students to meet employer demands.
Opportunities across broader career spectrum: sales, finance, social media, web-based marketing, service writing.

10. 14 Colleges with Auto Programs

11. Current Projects
ATRE is working with 12 statewide college auto programs: IDRC--to review Alternate Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Curriculum with auto employers:
Soft Skills: Employers and Faculty from 12 colleges identified the technical and ‘soft skills’ that students need to succeed in these increasingly technical careers.
New World of Work Training, August at CCSF: Faculty from 17 colleges participated and certified to embed the NWoW modules in AFV curriculum or structured as pilot courses.
California Energy Commission, ATRE awarded 9 colleges grants to enhance their AFV training programs, including CCSF.
Automotive Internships: facilitating the structure and implementation of auto technician internships with automotive employers
Drone-related courses and programs are being developed at: City College, Gavilan, Hartnell, Mission, Ohlone, SRJC, Solano, W.Valley
Micro grid power generation and battery storage in development.
