When the U.S. Department of Transportation and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration decided to provide online training in automotive technology for NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation, they contacted Weisong Shi.

“Dr. Shi is a world-renowned expert in Edge computing, where he is using this technology to advance mobility research and development,” said Wayne’s Dean of Engineering Farshad Fotouhi. After working closely with Shi and other leadership at the Mobility Academy, NHTSA decided to provide training in machine learning and artificial intelligence, electric vehicle technology, battery technology and autonomous vehicle technology.

Shi’s team of 60 will also be working with SEMCA on the state’s recently announced Michigan Revolution for Electrification of Vehicles Academy grant. The $5 million grant is for pre-hire and post-hire education and training in automotive mobility and electrification industry technologies.
