Abstract
Included with this issue of IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine are two DVDs produced by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) Education Committee, chaired by Joseph F. Ziomek. The blue disc contains the courses “Grounding of Hybrid Vehicles” (8 hours) by Prof. James Gover, Kettering University, and “Thermal Stress Failures in Electronic and Photonic Systems” (8 hours) by Prof. Ephraim Suhir, UC Santa Cruz. The yellow disc contains the courses “In Vehicle Networking” (6 hours) by Bruce Emaus, retired president, Vector CANtech, and “Accelerated Life Testing” (8 hours) by Prof. Ephraim Suhir, UC Santa Cruz. The DVDs are encoded using MPEG-4 with MP-3 audio and will play on current personal computers and DVD players. The lecture subjects were divided into approximately one-hour segments and were chosen to be of current interest to IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) members with the advent of hybrid and plug-in vehicles. The technical depth is at undergraduate level, and the approach is current industry's best practice. The Education Committee welcomes any comments on the courses or suggestions for other topics of interest.
