The rapid integration of autonomous systems into industries such as transportation, logistics, and manufacturing necessitates engineers who are proficient in energy-efficient and secure system design. This paper presents an educational initiative under the Nordplus Higher Education Program, aimed at equipping future engineers in the Nordic and Baltic regions with advanced knowledge and practical skills in secure and energy-efficient autonomous systems. Through a collaborative network of five universities - Riga Technical University (Latvia), Kaunas University of Technology, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (both from Lithuania), Tallinn University of Technology (Estonia), and Tampere University (Finland) - the project fosters academic activities, such as mobility, knowledge exchange, and hands-on training. The paper discusses the project's structure, learning ecosystem, curriculum development, industry collaborations, mobility programs, and anticipated outcomes, highlighting its role in bridging theoretical knowledge with real-world applications and contributing to the future workforce in autonomous system engineering.
