• Abstract:
  The effectiveness of Decision Making and Management of Transportation Systems is based on well-prepared decision makers and managers, who possess knowledge and experiences related to the technologies that are the subject of their decision making. With the advent of new electric, hybrid and fuel cell vehicles, the need for engineers and technology managers with related knowledge will grow. CSULA is extending its curriculum to meet those needs. A brand new Electric, Hybrid and Alternatively Fueled Vehicles course seeks to introduce students to all major technologies implemented in those vehicles. Among them are electric motors and generators. This project resulted in the development of two laboratory experiences with the Hampden electric motor test station available in the Department of Technology. The findings of the project were presented at the 2010 Jack R. Widmeyer Transportation Research Conference at CSU San Bernardino.
