Challenge@PoliTo_by Firms is an innovative teaching activity carried at the Politecnico di Torino. It is an integral part of PoliTo’s strategy to promote innovative education and entrepreneurial culture among the students.
These activities are organized with external firms that provide a “challenge” coming from their real business. During the experience, 30 master students divided in teams, work, compete and develop their solutions.
The Challenges are carried out as an experimental educational laboratory: the CLIK - Connection Lab & Innovation Kitchen, or similar space. At the CLIK lab, during the challenge phase, students can experiment and put into practice what they have learned during their lectures, in an informal and multidisciplinary environment that promotes the spirit of creativity and collaboration.
Challenge@PoliTo_by Firms – CASE
CASE, acronym of “Connected Autonomous Shared Electric”, in other words, “The Car of the Future”. FCA, always caring on evolution and market/customer needs, proposes its challenge.
During the transition towards electric mobility, increasingly connected and autonomous, motor vehicles are becoming more and more performance but also more and more complex.
Starting from this opportunity, derived by the introduction and evolution of these new technologies, it is important to understand how the car can change, and specially:
• Lean Electric Vehicles - Simplify the electric car: identify concrete proposals for having "lean" electric vehicles, without what is no longer needed in the changed scenario of the propulsion system;
• Smart Grid Vehicles - Integration of electric vehicles on electric grid and with higher ability to interact with the network and infrastructure.
The challenge concerns the identification and implementation of sustainable concepts, environmental impact as well as target costs, by significant improvements in one or more of the following areas:
Simplification of the car;
• Target Group focusing: Urban/Suburban, Young/Old, Disabled, ….;
• Internal and external connection: energy as well as network infrastructure;
• Functional integration: e.g. in motion and in the charging phase;
• Vehicle sharing: Car sharing, Private car shared with a community, ...;
• Power supply: Batteries as well as Fuel Cells and Batteries.

The main goal is to involve students in learning initiatives capable of bridging the gap between the theory taught by the University and the skills required by companies to work in a team.
Entrepreneurial Culture: Promote the Entrepreneurial culture/behavior on the PoliTo Students
Multidisciplinary Teams: Collaborate in a complex and multidisciplinary context.
Information research: Retrieval, Data collection and Utilization of information to support teamwork activities.
Hard Skills: Put into practice what they have learnt during their lectures in order to solve a real problem coming from partner firms.
Soft Skills: Teamwork under conditions close to the ones of a real business environment, self-assessment and work organization.
At the end of this activity, students will be readier to work in multidisciplinary team, skill required by companies, and they will be able to analyze industrial problems having a more comprehensive view of technical and market issues.

The Challenges last 14 weeks, they start on the 28th September 2020 and end on the 23rd January 2021. During this specific Challenge, the students have to work in multidisciplinary Teams supported by a group of tutors, PoliTo and partner Firm, with complementary background and competences, under the lead of the Professors G. Albertengo and N. Amati.
Every team will self-organize its own working time and methodology, but will have to spend about 1,5 hour/week, supported by mentors, in the CLIK Lab, similar space or in remote (clarifications will be provided), in addition to the common alignment meetings (specified subsequently).
According to the Rector guideline, the Challenges of the first didactic period A.Y. 20/21 will be provided face-to-face, pandemic condition permitting. However, all the meetings are guaranteed in remote mode.
The teaching manner could change due to the future pandemic condition. Additional information will be provided during next months.

The event will take place at the Lab CLIK (Connection Lab and Innovation Kitchen) or similar space, located in the central building of the Politecnico di Torino (Corso Duca degli Abruzzi, 24), with the following program:
● Kick Off & Team Formation: the partner company and tutors will hold a session on the issues of the challenge. There will be the Team Formation and Team Building phases to the establishment of multidisciplinary teams. Common meeting of 2 days.
● Problem Analysis and Idea Creation: two weeks in which the teams will analyze the problem in details. A team of mentors will support the teams through weekly meetings.
● Idea Presentation – 1st Work Progress: each team will present (by a pitch) the problem and the proposed solution. Common meeting of 1 day.
● Prototyping and Development: teams will meet at CLIK on a weekly basis to meet with mentors who will provide support to the development of the project. 11 weeks of team work.
● Two Mid-Check Presentations – 2nd and 3rd Work Progress: two meeting of half day on work progress during the Prototyping and Development phase.
● Final Presentation: the teams will present their projects through the pitch of the idea. Common meeting of 1 day at the end of the 14th week.
Furthermore, we will organize a visit in the partner company building.
