Abstract

The European Automotive Quality Sector Skill Alliance AQUA has been establishing practice-oriented education and training program on modern automotive engineering challenges since 2012. In the context of their most recent activity, they transfer their certified industry training program on integrated automotive quality engineering and management to higher education. This article introduces a practical example that is used in this new curriculum to explain the functional safety dimension of integrated automotive quality. Since the students are highly interested in electric and hybrid vehicles technologies, the example of an e-motor control for the drivetrain was chosen as a case study.
