Over time there will be a lot moreclasses created that blend electrical, mechanical, software, and chemical engineering.”8In recent years there has been recent interest in developing electric vehicle courses and supportmaterials. In addition, during September 2009 the US Department of Energy awarded $ 39.1Million under the Advanced Electric Drive Vehicle Education Program to support thedevelopment of new courses and course materials for graduate, undergraduate, secondarystudents, teachers, technicians, emergency responders, and the general public.9This challenge of educating a workforce for the emerging
