Abstract:

This study developed and implemented the Workforce for Autonomous Vehicle Engineering (WAVE) program at California State University, Sacramento. The program was designed to address workforce gaps in autonomous transportation by combining transportation engineering and electrical engineering into a single interdisciplinary learning experience. WAVE focused on preparing students for AV-related careers through a blend of theoretical instruction and hands-on laboratory training.
