A word of warning about this site – some of what you find here is useless – for example, a document that describes what they are going to build rather than actual course materials. However, it is the archive of record for CTE and if you dig with specific keywords there is useful content.
Courses
Diesel Drivetrain Systems by Thul, Travis (CC BY).
This course covers theory and operation of all drive system components including manual transmissions, automatic transmissions, clutches, drivelines and differentials. Other studies include component troubleshooting, inspecting, service, repair operations, removal, replacement and preventive maintenance practices.
Electric and Conventional Vehicles (Chalmers University of Technology by Sven Andersson and Anders Grauers (MOOC)
“In this course, you will learn how electric and conventional combustion engine powertrains are built and how they work. You will learn methods to calculate their performance and energy consumption and how to simulate them in different driving cycles. You will also learn about the basic function, the main limits and the losses of:
– Combustion engines,
– Transmissions
– Electric machines,
– Power electronics
– Batteries.”
Hybrid and Electric Vehicle: Preventative Maintenance and Repair (Skills Commons) by Tablo, Gordon (CC BY)
“This course is designed to familiarize the student with hybrid and electric vehicle safety, hybrid internal combustion engines (ICE), regenerative braking systems, high voltage climate control system, power inverter and battery pack cooling systems, high voltage analysis tools used, high voltage safety systems, and 12 volt systems used in hybrid and electric vehicles. Hands-on application to safety disconnect, use of high voltage analysis tools to perform basic checks, and perform service and preventive maintenance on hybrid and electric vehicles.” — website
