Electric Vehicle Motor Rebuilding (ELRT 1140)
This course focuses on diagnosing and rebuilding electric vehicle (EV) traction motors through theory and simulation. Students will learn to classify motor systems, identify common faults, interpret signals using diagnostic tools, and apply advanced analysis techniques in simulated repair scenarios. The course provides in-depth training in modern EV motor operation, failure modes, and rebuilding principles.

Students may request formal recognition of prior learning attained through informal education, work, or other life experience. Assessment will include the following:
Technical reports, diagnostic records, or motor service documentation created and/or used by the applicant in their workplace, which are judged equivalent to the curriculum documents required in the Electric Vehicle Motor Rebuilding course assignments.
A successful interview with the Electronics Programs’ Department Head or one of the department’s full-time faculty, focusing on diagnostic strategies, simulation-based troubleshooting, and safety procedures specific to EV traction motors and their control systems.
An essay in which the applicant reflects on and analyzes their prior experience in relation to the themes, issues, and concepts of the course, such as motor failure modes, waveform and signal interpretation, simulation-based testing, and principles of motor rebuilding.
