Sectors

  • Car mechanics

Main working field(s) of the Job-shadowing activity

Car mechanics relating to new propulsion systems.

Good practice or activities to share

– The use of EV’naR. An augmented reality software (developed by 2 VET schools) for hololens, used to learn how to discharge an electrical vehicle. – Diagnose Car. A system that brings recent vehicles and innovation in Flemish schools for diagnostics training (started up by 1 VET school and works now for 95% of Flanders schools). – Green power, building of and racing with electric karts. Project with students from car mechanics and other study pathways. – Hydrogen is the future, an example of an adapted working area – The use of a Toyota plugin hybrid prepared with simulated problems.


Expectations for future collaborations

Mainly KA1 short term exchanges of students, all VET fields. 


Expectations regarding the profile of staff to host

Teachers, coordinators of car mechanic pathways with technical background and interest in (teaching about) new propulsion systems.
