Stimulating Students to Experience Sustainable Engineering: The CQS Group T Racing Team

Stimulating engineering students to experience how to leverage technology for a sustainable world should form a key element of today’s engineering education. Therefore, GROUP T - International University College Leuven offers its Master students the opportunity to participate in a so called “Entrepreneurial Engineering Experience”. An example is the CQS Group T Racing Team, where students developed both an electric and bio-fuelled race vehicle based on the chassis of a Citroën 2CV. The achievements of this team will be highlighted in this paper to illustrate how the program stimulates the self-development of engineering skills and entrepreneurship within a sustainability mindset.
