Curriculum introduces students to high-voltage vehicle operation, explains electric vehicle components, operation, diagnosis, service and more
Phoenix—Universal Technical Institute (UTI), the automotive/diesel, skilled trades, electrical, and energy education division of Universal Technical Institute, Inc., has announced that all its core Automotive Technology programs across the country now include battery hybrid electric vehicles (BHEV) and electric vehicles (EV) courses.
The curriculum introduces students to high-voltage vehicle operation, explains electric vehicle components, operation, diagnosis, and service, reviews electronic principles, and provides training in electric battery vehicle system operation and testing. Depending on the campus, students may train on Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai IONIQ 5, or FIAT 500e vehicles.
“There are already millions of EV and BHEV vehicles on the road today, and every year that number is increasing,” said UTI Division President Tracy Lorenz. “That creates an immediate and expanding need for technicians who know how to diagnose and repair these complex systems safely.”
The campuses where battery hybrid electric vehicle (BHEV) and electric vehicle (EV) courses are now standard include UTI-Austin, UTI-Avondale, UTI-Bloomfield, UTI-Dallas, UTI-Exton, UTI-Houston, UTI-Lisle, UTI-Long Beach, UTI-Miramar, UTI-Mooresville, UTI-Orlando, UTI-Rancho Cucamonga, and UTI-Sacramento.
This curriculum will be a standard component of the Automotive Technology program launches in Atlanta and Salt Lake City when those campuses open, as well as in future locations offering the program.
