There is a clear need for a systematic training program on HEV. Thispaper describes a funded project whose goal is to fill this need by developing an integratedlearning environment for HEV technology. This project targets engineering/engineeringtechnology students in 4-year universities, automotive technology students in communitycolleges, automotive engineers and technicians in industries, and K-12 technology teachers.1.
