Laid off auto engineers worried about being left behind will have a chance to push the envelope in their field soon.

The Engineering Society of Detroit is teaming up with Michigan Technological University and AVL to help the state's automotive engineers learn about hybrid vehicle technology and the electrification of the automobile. It's doing this through a semester-long course to be offered this fall.

"Advanced Propulsion for Hybrid Vehicles with Concentration in Battery Engineering" is a graduate-level, three-credit class starting this fall. The 100 students admitted to the program will focus on battery design and on what makes the next generation of hybrid and electric vehicles tick.

For information, contact Linda LaPointe at llapointe@esd.org or by snail mail at The Engineering Society of Detroit, 20700 Civic Center Drive, Suite 450, Southfield, MI 48076.
