Transportation contributes massively to global warming worldwide, making up around 30% of CO2 emissions in developed countries, according to the UNECE<\/a>. Engineering know-how is key to tackling these issues to develop zero-emission drives and enable electric mobility. Annette Kempf, CEO and founder of Eclipseina, spoke to Jos\u00e9 Mellado, Managing Director of \u00c9volution Synerg\u00e9tique Automotive S.L (\u00e9vo), to discover how e-learning keeps their team in top technical form.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

What impact has electrification of transportation had on \u00e9vo?<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMassive \u2013 we were already focused on developing e-mobility solutions before the transition began. We\u2019ve benefited from the move away from fossil fuels, and every e-mobility project that comes in has our closest attention.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Many automotive engineers have years of experience in combustion engines. What challenges do they face when transitioning to electric drivetrains?<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This is a massive issue because the knowledge needed for combustion engines, what works, what doesn\u2019t, and how to tune a solution, is very different. They need a solid introduction to electrical drives, the control approaches, and the electronics and software that make it happen. On top, we have to help them get familiar with new ways of working and solving problems in this space.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

No, not in our experience. Universities are delivering us with capable engineers, but they don\u2019t study aspects of our domain, e-mobility, in enough depth to be useful on day one.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt falls to industry, like \u00e9vo, to further develop their skills so that they can flourish as automotive engineers. We also must remember that the domains in which skills are needed are expanding. It\u2019s not just electric drives, battery charging, and safety. Cybersecurity is a hot topic, a specialist subject, and something that most engineers will be aware of but not at the depth required for implementation. Our job is to grow those skills in our employees.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

So, how have you traditionally gone about developing those skills?<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the past, we relied on experienced engineers to develop and deliver training courses for our employees. However, there have been many challenges with this. Firstly, an engineer developing a training course is a valuable resource that is being taken away from a customer\u2019s project. Training development requires a lot of focus and concentration, so it dramatically impacts our effectiveness. Secondly, we need to steal their time again to deliver the training. Finally, we are not experts on optimal training course construction. This approach has had a significant financial impact from a business perspective.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

What appealed about the online e-learning platform, Embedded Academy?<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA lot! Firstly, we wouldn\u2019t have to create, maintain, and deliver the training. That frees up our teams\u2019 skills, experience, and availability to deliver on customer projects.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNext, the flexibility for engineers to go and learn at their own pace and when it suits them is a huge bonus. Then there is the range of topics. On Embedded Academy, my team can get started on the basics to set the groundwork or delve into higher-level topics they can deploy daily. We\u2019ve used the modules on automotive SPICE, e-mobility, and electric powertrains. But it\u2019s perhaps cybersecurity that really shines \u2013 that is material we would have found challenging to develop.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The most tangible benefit is cost. Our most valuable resource, experienced automotive engineers, are doing automotive engineering again.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s probably our youngest engineers, those starting their careers, who have benefitted most from Embedded Academy. They can build up that critical e-mobility system knowledge through e-learning in domains where finding good quality and reliable information is challenging. Our employees also comment on and appreciate our investment in their careers \u2013 this is something that we\u2019re delighted about.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
