Automotive quality universities – AQU – integration of modular content into the higher education studies

Abstract

This paper introduces and discuss the integration of originally modular VET course AQUA (original idea about integrating teaching of Automotive SPICE, Functional Safety and Six Sigma content) into the higher education studies. The goal is to integrate industry courses to higher education learning, provide certification and examination appropriate for the higher education learning without extensive practical experience and thus prepare the students for their future jobs and trainings in automotive development in these fields. An idea about combination of industry and higher education levels learning, certification and examination is presented. Example of possibilities and experiences of integrated teaching from the universities involved in Automotive Quality Universities (AQU) project is also presented and discussed.
