Capstone Project:
The Capstone Project is a key component of the EV Battery Assembly and Packaging Technician program, designed to assess students’ ability to apply theoretical knowledge and practical skills in an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) environment. This hands-on assessment ensures students demonstrate competency in battery assembly, service, maintenance, and troubleshooting. By completing the Capstone Project, students validate their readiness to work in the field, applying best practices in safety, diagnostics, and system operations.
Objective: The primary goal of the Capstone Project is to evaluate students’ ability to apply EV battery principles and VR-based training to perform essential technical procedures safely and efficiently in real-world scenarios.
Capstone Project Structure: Students will be required to complete a sequence of tasks in a
VR environment, covering key modules from the program:
1. Proper use of PPE and adherence to battery safety protocols.
2. Identifying fire hazards and correctly using a fire extinguisher in battery work
environments.
3. Safely handling and assembling battery cells, modules, and packs.
4. Identifying, selecting, and using hand tools and power tools for EV battery assembly.
5. Identifying electrical components, wiring systems, and interpreting battery
schematics.
6. Installing, servicing, and troubleshooting high-voltage battery packs.
7. Diagnosing BMS faults and performing battery module repairs.
8. Implementing thermal management solutions and ensuring proper pack sealing.
9. Conducting preventative maintenance and troubleshooting common battery failures.
Evaluation Process: Students will complete the simulations as part of the Capstone Project in a VR environment. Upon completion of each simulation, their performance will be scored and recorded in the LMS. An average score comprising of all simulations will be taken into consideration for the program completion criteria.
