Transforming into the world's first representative vehicle teaching tool, visualizing the current direction, Tesla SUV hovering "dissected" in three layers Tesla | Platform | Global
On June 9th, within Lingang University City, Tesla's representative model Model Y was not only suspended, but also meticulously disassembled into three layers: upper, middle, and lower. From the all wheel drive chassis with batteries and motors, to the four seats, steering wheel, large screen, and other body structural components such as fully open doors and windows in the cabin, you can observe the three-dimensional "anatomy" of this pure electric SUV from the ground, stairs, and upper floors from multiple angles and all directions. Moreover, starting from the charging station, the flow and changes of current in various parts of the vehicle are distinguished by different colors, all of which are visualized.
Originally, the world's first Tesla officially authorized "Model Y" 3D deconstruction demonstration platform landed on the Lingang Campus of Shanghai Electric Power University on the same day. Taking this human-machine interactive teaching platform as a symbol, the "Shanghai Electric Power University Tesla" Modern New Energy Industry Education Integration Base - Future Energy Creation and Enjoyment Center has been officially launched, providing science popularization education functions for primary and secondary school students.
Based on the joint construction of the "Shangdian Tesla Modern Industry College" by both the school and the enterprise, and relying on the high-level scientific and educational platform of the Future Energy Creation and Enjoyment Center, the Model Y vehicle, which was taken offline from Tesla's Shanghai Super Factory, has been transformed into a teaching aid. Standing below the demonstration platform, R&D personnel demonstrated to the Jiefang Daily Shangkan News reporter how current enters the battery pack at the bottom of the vehicle to charge and discharge, and how the front and rear motors drive the suspended four wheels to accelerate and decelerate... It is not difficult to see that the various pipelines of new energy vehicles like Tesla are like human meridians and blood vessels, but highly integrated. "Compared with the total length of pipelines of traditional vehicle models, the total length of pipelines for this vehicle is only a few hundred kilometers."
On the one hand, the new platform provides immersive demonstration teaching on the core technology of new energy vehicles. School teachers and students, as well as enterprise employees, can directly observe the core components of the vehicle - batteries, motors, electronic controls, etc. The platform uses specially designed light flow to concretely simulate the electricity flow of new energy vehicles under different working conditions, including kinetic energy recovery, which is also clear at a glance, allowing people to grasp the basic structure and working principle of new energy vehicles in the shortest possible time. For example, the car battery is also transparent, with about 6000 small battery cells visible, each wrapped in cooling materials to prevent high-temperature self ignition, etc.
On the other hand, the new platform brings a sensory experience of advanced manufacturing technology. The structural details of modular components, including robot spot welding and gluing, integrated die-casting technology, etc., can help ordinary viewers observe the charm of the new generation of car manufacturing technology without entering the factory, and intuitively experience the advanced level of high-end manufacturing in China. The R&D personnel pointed to the rear of the car, and it turned out that the rear of the body was no longer composed of multiple components assembled, but was integrated by die casting. This type of die-casting machine can reach thousands of tons of air power, and the critical die-casting moment only takes a few seconds to solidify the vehicle body in one go.
It is understood that on the 3D deconstruction teaching platform, Tesla and Shanghai Electric Power University are deepening the integration of industry and education, further strengthening the development cooperation of characteristic courses and textbooks such as "New Energy Vehicle Technology" and "Advanced Manufacturing Processes", and further leveraging the promotion and promotion role of this platform in school teacher and student teaching and enterprise employee training.
The platform effect is also spilling out to the outside world. Starting from this year, Shangdian Tesla Modern Industry College has improved its level in high-level talent cultivation. This year, it plans to jointly establish a new energy vehicle micro major for the five universities in Lingang, construct multiple new energy vehicle industry education integration courses, and carry out immersive teaching of the three electric principles of electric vehicles. At the same time, we will build a new energy teaching practice base and a science popularization education base, open to all primary and secondary schools in Lingang and all over Shanghai, and serve as a dual carbon education base to serve various units of the Lingang New Area Education Alliance.
As the only automobile manufacturing industry base in the first batch of Shanghai's "dual system" employee continuing education university pilot bases, Shangdian has established a "dual system" employee continuing education and training pathway through cooperation with Tesla Co., Ltd., which enhances both academic qualifications and skills. Belonging to the core area of the national industry education integration pilot project in the Lingang New Area of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, the "New Apprenticeship System" project of Shanghai Electric Power Tesla continued to advance. On that day, more than 500 of the first batch of students successfully graduated, and a total of 149 students passed the national adult college entrance examination and became students of Shanghai Electric Power University's higher education continuing education. They will also become the first batch of students to be trained under the "dual system" model in the whole school.
At the same time, the second batch of over 500 students started classes, and this industry education integration model has been rated as a typical case of industry education integration by the Ministry of Education, and selected for the "China Distance and Continuing Education Excellent Case Library" in 2022.
