<< Background >>Sustainable transportation is required to support the European Green Deal and the related targets for CO2 emission reduction. In the transportation sector, this means the development of the automotive power train, hybrid electric and full electric cars. Other alternative energy sources, such as hydrogen-powered cars, are being tested.Automotive industry has increased the level of automation in the cars considerably. Despite this, the current cars are only at the level of 2 within SAE classified autonomous driving categories (1-5). The technology to achieve higher categories are much more complicated than e.g. tranditional steering mechanisms in the cars. Changing technology is leading to a wider range of skills requirements from the automotive engineers and other personnel working on the automotive sector. Therefore, the objectives of the project are to •develop Bachelor level training in Sustainable Transportation to match the requirements of today’s and tomorrow’s automotive industry and CO2 reduction targets. •practice design science approach in developing new curricula, course modules and learning environments. •build the capacity of teachers in both, automotive technology and also in utilizing the novel teaching methodology and technology. •internationalize collaboration at department level at the partner HEIs.<< Objectives >>The project is aimed update and internationalize the automotive sector teaching, first in the partner HEIs and later (after the project) on larger network of educational institutions. The reform in the automotive technology is challenging the sector’s personnel education. New competencies are required from the auto sector personnel in order to successfully navigate through the reform. This forms the basis for the need for the Sustainable transportation -project. Simultaneously, new teaching technologies enable deeper international cooperation in developing and updating teaching. In the project, new curriculum and training material is developed for sustainable transportation matching the current and future needs of the autoindustry requirements.Co-developed curriculum and teaching as a whole also play a major role in the adoption of new teaching methods. All parties have access to online teaching tools, but seldomly used for virtual student exchange, for example. The opportunities for utilizing e-learning in a virtual international environment are great. With the project, online-mediated teaching collaboration will grow significantly. This serves all parties involved in the project. This benefits both the students and the teachers.The main target group of the project are the students of automotive sector from all participating universities. The project is particularly useful for students' skills. With the project, the teaching of automotive technology will be modernized and a continuous updating process will be created for it as well. Thus, from the perspective of automotive engineering teaching, the project changes the operating culture. The project will provide students with a significant improvement on their current teaching.<< Implementation >>The above objectives will be achieved by•co-designing, co-developing and updating the curricula with three new course modules at EQF level 6, each course equivalent to 5 ECTS. •developing new training materials for the course modules on Sustainable vehicle design and supply chain management (Skoda and OTH), Sustainable use, energy sources and intelligent driving (Thomas More); and Sustainable aftersales – maintenance, repair and circular economy (SeAMK). •setting up a joint training platform for the future joint hybrid training, knowledge and information sharing, and using a collaborative VR environment (e.g. Altspace VR) which enables collaborative working regardless of location in the same time. •training 11 teachers and 100 students in 3 intensive programmes and 6 online courses<< Results >>The outcomes of the project include joint study courses development and partially joint delivery of the teaching. Additionally, the similar courses in each institutions enable easier student and teacher exchanges in the future. The project will also increase the teachers capacity to utilize novel teaching technologies and methods. Results and Outcomes summary: i) 11 teachers and 100 students trained in 3 intensive programmes and 6 online courses; ii) 11 teachers build up their capacity in designing courses and course materials by using design science paradigm methodology; iii) online platform for material and teaching experience sharing for teachers. The project will produce a 15 ECTS study module, which will be the most significant output of the project. The study module consists of six courses, which are implemented on an online learning platform. With the project, renewed learning materials will be formed for these courses and the competences that a future automotive engineer will have to master will be drawn up. A significant output of the project is also the digital learning environment for automotive technology, which will be built together. The learning environment will utilize new and modern teaching technology. Thus, with the project, teaching will be comprehensively reformed, and in connection with the reform, international aspects will also be naturally taken into account.
