Abstract

The present paper shows the current status of the student hands-on project eCARus which has been offered at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) for already more than six years. Within this paper, the project and team structure are explained. Furthermore, the two electric vehicles, called eCARus 1.0 and eCARus 2.0, developed by the students are presented. Both vehicles are continuously expanded with new features and functions. The technical complexity, the project has reached by now, is shown using an example. Besides, technical and soft-skill trainings were established in order to prepare the participants adequately. In addition, the public perception of the project will be discussed, which is strongly influenced by the project's own public relations team. Finally, the statistics about participants over the last six years complete the picture of the successful project.
