The student time in this challenge will be approximately 45 hours, with 30 hours of "classes" (onsite or online) with knowledge transfer, practical work and team work.   

The challenge includes 2 synchronous online sessions in the beginning and one session at the end of the challenge when the results are presented to the challenge provider. For the students choosing the option of the mobility week (week 4), there will of course be a number of synchronous and on-site activities, like visiting INSA and the labs, the university hospital and the challenger providers offices in Toulouse.   

The challenge will be carried out in small, intercultural and interdisciplinary teams. They will have to work together, but can agree on their time schedule and will work asynchronously during the challenge.  

Assessment will be divided in formative assessments during the challenge with small tasks to be done and a sommative assessment at the end of the challenge in the form of the prototype of the connected smart e-bike of the group and a presentation in English in front of a panel.

Transport and Mobility

Inter-personal skills

Effective transport and mobility is an integral part of achieving sustainable development across all scales, from city networks to rurban to national to international networks. Technological innovations are already delivering improvements to transport service delivery, user experience and environmental performance across various transport modes (road-based, rail, aerospace, active travel), but this is only the beginning. The world of transport will transform dramatically over the coming decade as new technology, such as decarbonised power sources, mobile communications, AI and big data radically transform the way that transport outcomes can be delivered.

Seek solutions for achieving sustainable development of the way people and resources move around the world.

The ability to devise transport sector strategies and policies. Knowledge of the the public administration and regulatory aspects of the transportation and infrastructure sectors, and requirements necessary to create effective policies.

Sustainable transport policies

The public administration and regulatory aspects of the transportation and infrastructure sectors, and requirements necessary to create policies.
