Genomsnitt: 3.39 - It was completely new and with an "yet to be desided upon organization" (what courses and in what order etc). But now when I know what it´,s all about i don´,t regret my choice for a second, even when thinking on the automotive industry today...» (Rather poor) Your own effort3. How many hours per week have you spent studying at this programme?We mean total time, that is, it comprises the time you spent in class and the time you spent on your own work. Try to estimate the average time over the entire programme.28 svarande

Genomsnitt: 4.53 - maybe not 100%, but closer to 100% than 75%...» (100%) Goals and goal fulfilmentThe programme syllabus states the goals in terms of learning outcomes, i.e., knowledge, skills and attitudes to be acquired by the student during the education. The learning outcomes are (excerpts):After the master programme in Automotive Engineering the students should be able to •,,,,,,,, identify and discuss vehicles as complex systems from a technical and a social perspective through a broad platform in automotive engineering. •,,,,,,,, analyse new technical challenges and to create technical advancements in the automotive industry by three specialisation tracks, Powertrain, Vehicle Dynamics or Safety. •,,,,,,,, synthesize and evaluate automotive systems and products in terms of direct use and lifecycle analysis through consideration of environmental and economic aspects. •,,,,,,,, through applications and practice o utilize automotive related IT- and product development tools. o demonstrate skills necessary for managing and contributing to team-based engineering activities and projects in a multi-cultural environment. 5. How understandable are the programme goals?28 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.71 - Now that I"m at the end of the master"s programme I understand all the goals. But when i first applied for automotive, I didn"t..» (The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer) 6. Are the goals reasonable for a master degree?28 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.82 - The practical requirements to pass are too low» (No, the goals are a bit too low) 7. Are these goals fulfilled within the group of mandatory courses?28 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.78 - Kasta passove safety (biologi) kursen och lägg den tiden på ngt mer meningsfullt.» (To some extent) Programme layoutThe Automotive Engineering programme consists of one introduction course about automotive vehicles and industry followed by 3 courses, one from each of the areas of Powertrain, Vehicle Dynamics and Safety. Last two mandatory courses are chosen from 2 of the 3 areas. Depending on preferences, the student can then take two extra courses within one or two of the specialisations.8. What do you think of the programme layout?28 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.59 - Theoretically good, but the execution of this master is very bad» (Rather poor) 9. Do the 6 mandatory courses cover the main topics that you believe an Automotive Engineer should know?28 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.35 - I think that more courses are needed to be able to say that you are an automotive engineer.» (No, not at all) 10. Do you miss a course or a topic in the master programme?27 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.66 - general modelling and simulation and some control theory. The course in modelling and simulation could very well be incorporated into AE instead of the extremely poor hybrid course. Sven actually told us that this year was just a test so that he would find out what should be in the course, that is totally unacceptable!!» (Yes) 11. Are there any courses that you think should either be heavily revised or even removed from the programme?27 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.48 - biology stuff in passive safety course should be revised somehow. » (Yes) 12. Impressions of the Powertrain specialisation.NOTE! Only answer this question if you attended all 4 mandatory courses in the Powertrain specialisation (Internal Combustion Engines, Hybrid Vehicles and Control, Internal Combustion Engines Advanced, Powertrain Mechanics).What is your impression of the Matrisfråga - Separate the courses in this question, big differnce» available information on this specialisation?

Genomsnitt: 3.56 14. Impression of the Safety specialisation.NOTE! Only answer this question if you attended all 4 mandatory courses in the Safety specialisation (Passive Safety, Active Safety, Human Aspects of Traffic Safety, Measurement Techniques in Automotive Applications).What is your impression of the Matrisfråga - Mats is a very good lecturer and the safety specialization gave a nice overview regarding automotive safety.
However, the workload should be greater in Active Safety and Human Aspects.
May be Mats could do as Rob did in Measurement techniques for automotive applications, i.e replacing the final exams (that were quite easy) by quizzes each week or second week, in order to force students to study a little bit harder.
Passive Safety examination was way too harsh: it is quite frustrating to learn a lot about a course content and then obtain... grade 3.» available information on this specialisation?

Genomsnitt: 3.62 15. What do you think of the automotive project courses and how do you look at these in relation to more conventional courses?28 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.89 - The Engineering projects course should be in corporation with companies.» (Poor) Programme administration16. Did you know that there is a Teacher"s Council including all examiners at Automotive Engineering programme that meet 3 times/year?Teacher"s council treats programme realisation and development. The council also treats issues like course evaluation, thesis works, projects etc.28 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.78 17. What is your general impression of the programme administration?Programme administration means the programme director, coordinators, study counsellors, student administrators.28 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.21 - Vilka är det?!» (No opinion) 18. What is your opinion on the support from the Student centre work?28 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.77 - Our student counselor was not much of help or guidance. I got the feeling that they did not know what they were talking about. » (Rather poor) (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand) Study climate19. Did you feel welcomed by Chalmers and the staff at the master programme during your first days?28 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.73 - But I have studied at chalmers for three years before.» (Yes definitely) 20. How well has cooperation between you and your fellow students worked?28 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.82 - Students are asked to create their own groups. It seems reasonable and fair. However, swedish students tend to study together and have their own community. It is hard to be a part of a swedish community. Most of the foreign students do not have an idea about studying with swedes. maybe , the groups should be mixed randomly for some cases, at least at the beginning of the year to obtain totally mixed groups and let the swedes and non swedes know each other well from the beginning.(breaking ice)» (Poorly) 21. How are the opportunities to come in contact with teachers?General impression of the staff"s accessibility.28 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4 - Often good except the safety administration which are situated at Lindholmen. This was very frustrating in the safety courses that one could almost only get help by mail and hope for a quick answer.» (OK) 22. Do you think that the student opinions and results from course evaluations have significant impact and are taken seriously?27 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.31 - I hope so» (Yes, definetly) 23. What do you think of attending an education given in English instead of in your native language?28 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4.46 - Don"t have a problem to understand English but unfortunately, many of the teachers in CHalmers don"t have the english skills to be able to explain their topics good enough. It is a fact that my knowledge of automotive engineering would be better if the courses were held in Swedish, even though it"s improving my english skills alot.» (Rather bad) 24. To what extent is your knowledge/competence from your bachelor degree sufficient to attend this programme?Did you have the prerequisites that you need to start and follow the courses in the programme? If you feel that you lack any knowledge, please comment.28 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4.39 - I had no problem to follow the courses. The only issue was regarding Matlab. (see the next comment)» (Good) 25. What is your opinion about that you are expected to have computer skills in Matlab etc?When attending this programme, you are supposed to have some knowlege in Matlab, Office and other general softwares.28 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.42 - Vehicle Dynamics assignments required some very basic matlab knowledge.
Students just needed to implement programs and then, think with their head about how to mechanically interprete the results: that was interesting.
But Advanced Vehicle Dynamics computer assignments were all about programming and programming: that was not interesting at all. People that had their bachelor degree at Chalmers did not have any problems to deal with that, but others yes.» (Poor) Summarizing questions26. What is your general impression of the programme so far?28 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.89 - No course exceeded my expectations, half of them were wery poor» (Poor) 27. Considering your experience from this programme, would you choose this programme if you could turn back time?27 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.84 - Skulle valt applied mechanics så hade man haft något att göra. Har jobbat extra sjukt mycket extra och inte haft några som helst problem att hänga med och så ska det inte vara på Chalmers! Det urholkar utbildningen och ryktet!» (No) 28. What should definitely be preserved?- some teachers (specially in powertrain track)»- Good combinations of practical and theoretical studies. » - veh. dynamics courses and auto primemover course» - Chalmers Formula Student» - The Stora Holm applications, the Passive safety applications, Eco Marathon, Formula Student and all type of applications.» - Sven - he is great! And the combustion engine course and the hybrid course.» - Good that all mandatory courses are in the beginning so it makes it easier to make an exchange semester at another univeristy in the end of the master program.» - The Powertrain and the Vehicle Dynamics courses, particularly Internal Combustion Engine and Vehicle Dynamics, should be preserved. These courses are rewarding and well structured. Moreover the teachers master their field.» - the program itself and the labs» - Vehicle Dynamics courses, Internal combustion courses» - The specializations» - free tee shirts with automotive eng. logo» - guest lectures, good teachers.» 29. What should definitely be changed?- - less matlab pure programming, more real engineering softs. - road vehicle aerodynamics course: less loosy considerations, more engineering content.»- There should be a fair master thesis announcement system. The master thesis announcements were not conducted to whole programme regularly. The company proposals should be announced from Student Portal or mail system. » - The passive safety course and the selection of extra courses to choose from.» - Most of the courses have the same layout and methods of learing, which makes it quite boring after some courses. » - The Introduction to Automotive Engineering course should be changed. This is like a "shop" where you can find everything but useless. To pass the exam you just have to learn by heart the Powerpoint slides which is not particurlarly rewarding.» - the program organizing» - Se över och strukturer upp gästföreläsare!» - Hybrid and Control should be modified as well as Road vehicle aerodynamics (more practical work and less not really useful lectures for both of them)» - maybe not definitely, but the programme could be made a bit more advanced.» - some mid term quizes or small examinations should be added in all cpurses which would help to keep student in shape and force them to review covered material more often. this would raise overall student academic level» - safety track» - Safety, hybrid, intro to AE. Workload could definitely be higher and more theoretical on all courses. » (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand) - some teachers » (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand) 30. Additional comments- People taking the formula student spent more time on that and still passed the courses with good grades, that´,,s great, but it definitely says something about the difficulty of this master.»- The eco marathon and formula student projects are very useful. However, the criteria to select the formula students is not clear and was not announced at all.The list of formula students who were selected for the project was announced and nobody knew why they were eliminated . Moreover, the percentage of swedish students and foreign students who were rejected from the formula student project should be researched. If the swedish students are more talented for the formula student, what is the criteria to detect that decision? The form that is filled for the application is insufficient to detect the "talented" students. That form should be revised and investigated in terms of selecting students. » - more accessibility to labs and student"s own ideas should be encouraged.» - Har sökt ex-jobb och de som efterfrågas på företagen är kunskaper inom simulink/matlab och FEM. Mer fokus på sånt!» - Overall it has been good and a very nice experience studying in a different country, meeting new people and have learnt quite a bit.» * obligatoriska frågor
