On 8 June 2023, the Round Table on Electromobility took place in the framework of the Erasmus+ programme (project name: 2022-1-CZ01-KA210-VET-000082444 Future Transport, Sustainable Transport, Electromobility, Education for the Future).
The whole event started with an introductory speech by our director (Mgr. Jaroslav Koreš, Ph.D.) and two of our teachers (Ing. Stanislav Strnad and Ing. Petr Šimek) in the school auditorium. Pupils of all the first years (1.S, 1.EE, 1.EM and 1.ER) were able to hear basic information about the field of electromobility and alternative drives, which is an interconnection of mechanical and electrical engineering. This was followed by presentations by company representatives. The speakers were Václav Vidl from Škoda Auto, a. s., Martin Klíma from E.ON Česká republika, s. r. o., Tomáš Chmelík from ČEZ, a. s., and František Pánek from Robert Bosch, spol. s r. o., who spoke about the future of electromobility.
Afterwards, the pupils of the electromobility and alternative drives (1.EM) and the representatives of the companies moved to the boardroom, where the pupils presented the results of their long-term projects. (The pupils were divided into four groups. At the end of March, they were all given a single assignment - the task was to invent and produce an electric vehicle, and they had to meet an average specified speed on a specified track, stopping accuracy over a specified distance, and adhere to a trajectory and type of drive. The pupils solved the project independently using the knowledge acquired in the vocational subjects. In the course of the work they had the opportunity to consult any problems with the teachers. The students conducted the entire presentation in English and answered additional questions from the company representatives.
In the afternoon, a meeting of representatives of companies and school management took place, where the possibilities of further employment and internships of our students in companies were discussed. The expectations of companies on the content of the study field of electromobility and alternative drives were also discussed.
Our pupils did an excellent job with the whole project and even the representatives of the individual companies praised their creations and presentation in English. The knowledge and skills of our pupils were also appreciated by regional television, which visited the Round Table on electromobility and broadcasted the event Report.
The whole event was proof that the field of electromobility and alternative drives has great potential and is the field of the future.
