Advanced Engines in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs)

Module Description:
This Advanced Engines in Hybrid Electric Vehicle module consists of a PowerPoint presentation, two labs, and a syllabus designed to enhance automotive engine courses with HEV technologies and was developed through seed funding from the Center for Advanced Automotive Technologies (CAAT). 

Module Contents:
The PowerPoint discusses the application of variable valve timing (VVT) and Atkinson cycle principles to HEVs, and the extra hydrocarbon capturing devices added to HEVs due to the use VVT and Atkinson principles. 

The Compression Testing VVT systems lab reinforces the ideas of the presentation illustrating engine malfunctions caused by a faulty VVT system.

For additional insight on HEV engine service procedures, an oil change lab sheet for HEVs is included.

The provided syllabus includes highlighted sections where these HEV technologies were incorporated into engine courses at Lewis and Clark Community College.
