Context

Under the EuroTeQ Engineering University alliance, the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) ran their first joint micro-certificate course, 'Applied Artificial Intelligence for Technical Innovation,' for recent engineering graduates, in partnership with automotive supplier Valeo and applied-AI consultancy AppliedAI.

Objectives

Give recent engineering graduates practical grounding in applied AI for industrial innovation, combining academic instruction with industry-led sessions on AI development and deployment, the EU's AI regulatory framework, and AI-supported system validation.

Activities

The five-day intensive course (9–13 September 2024) took place across two cities — two days in Prague, three in Munich. Successful graduates receive a EuroTeQ micro-certificate, an EU-recognised credential format. The course has since been re-listed in the EuroTeQ course catalogue for subsequent semesters, including 2025/26, suggesting institutional intent to continue rather than a one-off pilot.

Results

Twenty participants completed the course.

Conclusions

As a first-edition pilot with 20 participants, no outcome data (assessment results, employer feedback, participant satisfaction) has been published; the evidence available covers design, delivery and partners rather than demonstrated impact.

Implementation
Indicative cost
Medium (€50k–€500k)
Time to results
Short (< 1 year) — First delivered 9-13 September 2024; re-listed in the EuroTeQ course catalogue for the 2025/26 academic year.
Staffing & skills
Czech Technical University in Prague (Faculty of Electrical Engineering), Technical University of Munich, EuroTeQ Alliance coordination, AppliedAI (consultancy, industry sessions), Valeo (automotive industry partner)

Conditions for success

  • Joint delivery across two campuses (Prague and Munich) combining academic and industry-led instruction
  • Industry partner involvement (Valeo, AppliedAI) for applied and regulatory content
  • EU-recognised EuroTeQ micro-certificate as a credential incentive

Common failure modes

  • First-edition pilot with only 20 participants and no published outcome data (assessment results, employer feedback, participant satisfaction)

Where it fits

Governance type
university alliance (EuroTeQ) with industry partners
