Week 4: Battery & Light/OVERVIEW

Learning objectives: By the end of this week you will

  • understand the system engineering concept of the LithiumIon battery system in cars
  • knowing how STEM subjects can be linked to the battery system in cars through innovative teaching methods and experiments
  • understand the system engineering concept of light systems in cars
  • knowing how STEM subjects can be linked to the light system in cars through innovative teaching methods and experiments

Facilitators: Tomas Harach & Daniel Kouril

Moderators: Erika Pernold, Hanna Sprenger & Jakub Stulfa

Time period: 24th of February until the 2nd of March 2019

Description: The main aim of the second week is to introduce the MOOC participants to how headlamps and rear lamps are used in cars and to provide a system engineering understanding which allows teachers to assign experiments at school. Further, content related to specific automotive functionalities in the area of light systems will be explained and discussed during this week.

Another goal of this week is to introduce the participants to battery systems in general and how they are implemented into modern vehicles. The content provided within this week should give an overall understanding and show how various sciences such as physics etc. can be applied to modern vehicle battery systems.
