This module, developed within the Digital & Green Skills Towards the Future of the Mobility Ecosystem (Trireme) project, explores Environmental Competence for Managers, a crucial capability for modern businesses. It highlights integrating environmental considerations into corporate strategies to enhance sustainability, regulatory compliance, and competitive advantage.
The module examines key components of environmental competence, including knowledge of environmental policies, sustainable resource management, ethical responsibilities, and leadership approaches in environmental decision-making. It underscores the role of competence-based management theories in fostering sustainability and emphasises the integration of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles and circular economy strategies into business models.
Challenges in developing environmental competence, such as resistance to change, financial constraints, and lack of expertise, are discussed alongside case studies of corporate environmental failures, including Volkswagen’s emissions scandal and BP’s Deepwater Horizon spill. The document also presents emerging trends, including ESG-driven corporate governance, technological advancements in sustainability, and the growing importance of circular economy principles.
The module concludes with strategic recommendations for business leaders, advocating for mandatory ESG training, adopting AI-driven sustainability analytics, integrating circular economy models, and strengthening regulatory compliance frameworks. By implementing these measures, organisations can enhance resilience, foster innovation, and maintain long-term competitiveness in an increasingly eco-conscious business landscape.

The course covers knowledge about materials and technologies relating to electronics technology, including, but not limited to, properties and types of electronics components, manufacturing of printed wire boards (unpopulated boards), assembling (Printed circuit Boards (PCB) - populated), design of PCB’s, also from the sustainability point of view. The course also overviews the other electronics manufacturing technologies, such as thin- and thick-film electronics. Furthermore, the course covers also basic knowledge of smart and green electronic trends and value chain aspects.

This course gives a brief overview of Automotive SPICE, its structure, application and impact on the organisation.
Gain the knowledge on how to collect special data from machines and rate their condition based on it.
Join the course where you will find knowledge of the control, measurement and management of machine parameters and signals.
Gain the knowledge, using modern algorithms, on how to recognize machine breakdown symptoms before they happen.
This course offers a brief introduction to continuous improvement and how improvement methods like Lean and Six Sigma are supporting companies in the automotive industry to improve their processes and guarantee quality.
Dies are essential elements on the process of making the body and the chassis of a vehicle. There is a clear need to develop a job role that designs and build dies for the automotive industry. An Automotive Engineer in Tool and Die Production and Maintenance is responsible for making precision tools (jigs, molds and dies) , special guides and holding devices, which are then used in the manufacturing process to make products. An Automotive toolmaker makes the parts used on a car assembly line. To produce a die, the Automotive toolmaker will use 2D and 3D computer aided design and manufacturing software (CAD/CAM) to design it, and will use machinery (such as lathes, presses, milling machines and grinders) to produce it. A toolmaker’s job doesn’t stop once they’ve produced the tools though; they will then monitor these tools to identify, and implement, any necessary modification or repairs.
Metrology is the science of measurement. It establishes a common understanding of units, crucial in linking human activities. There is a clear need to develop job roles covering this topic in the automotive sector.
The course will explain how to set up a functional safety policy and strategy, establish functional safety processes and create an understanding of the impact of functional safety in automotive development projects.
All parts of a vehicle need to be drawn before they are produced; and, even more, before production, these parts need to be tested to confirm they are safe. CAD/CAE Technicians have a vital role in these activities.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are an essential part of autonomous vehicles. The automation of road vehicles and road transport is in a high focus in the last decade and it will be one of the most important development area in the next years. The course gives a general overview of connected and automated driving. It presents examples for automated in-vehicle functions and also the standardized SAE classification. It shows the development steps: simulation, laboratory, proving ground and public road testing and also the homologation, which has not yet been fully standardized.
To master the upcoming change in powertrain solutions, development engineers need new knowledge and skills and different development methodologies. A strong cooperation between mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering has to be established, which requires a better mutual understanding than in past decades.
In terms of providing a wider autonomy of the vehicles the design of new systems is important to cover the communications and the connections among vehicles as well as the connections with the infrastructure. The key of autonomous vehicles is to be connected with both vehicles and infrastructure.

The course introduces into the field of automotive mechatronics and the boundary conditions of mechatronics product development, addressing:
The course finally presents an overview of the challenges boundary conditions and requirements in modern automotive mechatronics system development and gives an introduction of the comprehensive skills and knowledge demands for staff that is involved. In addition, the unit introduces into the Automotive Mechatronics Training Programme and supports decision makers in the selection of a proper, company-specific education programme for their workforce.
Unprecedented levels of technological change have led to a focus on robotics with robotic specialists becoming an increasingly sought after skill set across a wide range of industries. Within the Automotive Sector use of Robotics is now commonplace in relation to a wide range of shop floor processes from welding to assembly and painting.
