Summary:

The automotive industry is passing for a big transformation, due to technologies advance. The electrical technologies are also on a good rising curve, calling the attention of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEMs). This scenario generates the demand for a faster method to train their new hired engineers, when compared with usual on the job training. Model in the Loop (MiL) consists in one of the real-time embedded systems test phases, which is developed in a computational environment, performing a mathematical modeling of the system, presenting an interface that allows the visualization of its dynamics and the signals involved. Two powerful software in industry that apply MiL are the Matlab and Simulink. A project involving these applications was proposed for a team of new hired engineers, developing models of several vehicle Electronic Control Units (ECUs), with some scope reduction as an example the functional requirements reduction. After the fast-training program completed, a survey with the involved team (trained and trainers) was conducted to evaluate and assess the method. This paper aims to present a project based on Model in the Loop applied for new engineers training, using agile methods and evaluate the results. The trainers observed a faster learning curve, a higher new team integration in a reduced time, even considering 100% home office as environment during Pandemic Status
