"The UC-Davis Fuel Cell Workshop is a `must attend' event for technology developers, automotive suppliers, industry analysts, policy makers and anyone else who wants an in-depth understanding of the technology, market and policy issues that will impact the automotive industry's race to bring fuel cell electric vehicles to showrooms across America and around the world," stated Kateri Callahan, Executive Director of EVAA, a sponsor of the tutorial An instructional book or program that takes the user through a prescribed sequence of steps in order to learn a product. Contrast with documentation, which, although instructional, tends to group features and functions by category. See tutorials in this publication. .

The workshop will cover a broad range of fuel cell vehicle topics including "The Basics: All the Science You Need to Know"; "FCEVs and the Environment"; "FCEV FCEV Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle  Markets: Industry Viewpoints"; and, "FCEVs and Public Policy." Dan Sperling, Director of the Institute for Transportation Studies at UC-Davis and recognized expert on electric drive technologies, has designed the workshop to supplement the line-up of fuel cell EV discussions that will be included as part of the EVAA Electric Transportation Technology Conference. "Anyone choosing to attend our Fuel Cell Vehicle Workshop and the EVAA Conference can expect to take home the information, tools and business contacts that will allow him/her to become part of the growing electric transportation industry," stated Sperling in explaining the significance of the December 11 - 14, 2001 events.

The registration fees for the UC-Davis Fuel Cell Workshop are $75.00 for students, $125.00 for all registered EVAA conference participants, and $275.00 for all others. Registration fees include a continental breakfast, lunch and course materials.
