title = "Supporting the Growth of Electric Vehicle Market Through the E-DRIVETOUR Educational Program.",
abstract = "This paper focuses on one of the current great challenges of electric vehicle technology, the implementation of a highly technical curriculum, especially under the COVID-19 restricted environment. The presented training program is designed to cater to the automotive market regarding basic electric vehicle skills for engineers. The most notable part of the training program is the blended teaching approach. The trainees attended typical online lectures being available in a synchronous and an asynchronous manner. Significant part of the training are the two teaching mobilities during which the students participate in technical experiments and work on projects based on Augmented Reality and developed on the principles of a project-based learning approach. The training is completed via a short industrial internship period. The paper elaborates lessons learnt from the piloting educational procedure and a thorough discussion on the sustainability of the program and its importance for the electric vehicle market.",
