The Future of E-Mobility: An Innovative Course to Approach Big Global Challenges

Education in engineering and STEM follows traditional methods and is usually focused on hard skills and science. Although essential, these disciplines are not sufficient to fully equip students for dealing with multidisciplinary and inherently socially complex problems. In this context, the article describes one of the courses offered in the “Big Global Challenges” initiative by Politecnico di Torino. “The Future of E-Mobility” applies innovative strategies for teaching, tutoring, and evaluating students, with the goal of preparing the next generations of engineers for the always more complex challenges in modern society.
