- Automotive engineering should be a much more hands-on study. I saw one engine once for 1 hour in the whole 2 years of courses. More practical lab work should be included. It"s more fun as well. :)» (No, the goals are a bit too low)
- The gool might be set on a sertain reasonable level but the actual content is too low.» (Yes, the goals seem reasonable)

- Introduktionskursen till Automotive Engineering skulle gå att välja bort. För lite elteknik / reglerteknik. OM Chalmers vill vara framstående tekniskt, borde denna master innehålla lika mycket "Battery technologies for automotive applications" och Power Electronics.» (Rather poor)
- But the quality of the courses have to become better.» (OK)
- I don"t think it"s good to specialize yourself too much. But of course you should be able to choose individual courses!» (OK)
- Layout ok but intro to auto course material overlaps extremely on the other courses. Assignment solutions could be just copied and pasted from one course into the next. In the intro to auto course, it would be better to not have the assignments and put more emphasis on the work field trips to Volvo, Johnson Controls, etc. Maybe even arrange short-term 1-week work terms as part of the course so that students can get a feel for the actual auto industry.» (OK)
- as mentioned earlier some courses related to automobiles are missing and need to search where i can do it or they are taught in swedish» (OK)
- The layout is good but still the contents has to be better. » (OK)
- The introduction to Automotive Engineering is very confusing. It suggests a review of most of the areas for the car but it is so fast that is impossible for the student to follow and to understand. Before attending this course, I had a very good background in the covered area so I understood. But attending a lecture of two hours covering everything on braking systems can not replace a 30 hour course (for instance!)...» (Good)
- The mandatory safety course should not be mandatory. I rather would have taken another course instead which would have given me a more in depth knowledge in a chosen subject.» (Good)

- But they where to simple. At the masters level it should be hard not easy as it is now.» (To a certain extent, yes)
- Good material, but not really enough of it. The auto engineering masters program seems to be one of the lightest in terms of amount of material to learn as compared to other programs. » (To a certain extent, yes)
- The vehicle body itself have been covered to little.» (To a certain extent, yes)
- Maybe there should have been more about the work you do when you actually work for car manufacturer?» (To a large extent, but not completely)
- What is an Automotive Engineer? You can study a lot other courses and still work and perform well as an engineer in the automotive area. On the level that some of the courses have at this point they are not necessary in the work as engineer...you will learn it when you start working.» (No comment)

Genomsnitt: 1.54

- BIW, Painting and some more» (?)
- I want a course more about Chassi.» (Yes)
- Nämnda ovan.» (Yes)
- Maybe vehicle electronics, or further knowledge of future cars, alt. more powertrain courses!» (Yes)
- A miss the topic of quality control which is very important in this field.» (Yes)
- As mentioned before, more emphasis on labwork and actual engines would be nice to have. Also, a couple courses about automotive marketing and business etc would be useful.» (Yes)
- There should definitely be "vehicle acoustics and vibration" course. Moreover, one more course about chassis structure (for truck chassis there are some basic calculation methods to calculate bending moments and torsional rigidity) and chassis components is needed for sure! Unfortunately vehicle dynamics courses have never covered the caharacteristics of these components (springs, dampers and so on)!» (Yes)
- Practical excerscises. like repairing cars, engines, motors etc. nothing we do is practical excercises. only theory.» (Yes)
- If the level on todays courses is raised there are already many good courses but maybe more courses towarsds design (konstruktion), like some mechanic course.» (Yes)
- a separate course on vehicle body/chassis structure would be desirable.» (Yes)

11. Are there any courses that you think should either be heavily revised or even removed from the programme?

Yes»		11		47%
No»		12		52%

Genomsnitt: 1.52

- Advanced vehicle dynamics needs to be revised» (?)
- The intro course, was too easy. The safety course was just a mess. The hybrid course was more like a Simulink course, not so much about hybrid stuff.» (Yes)
- passive and active safety» (Yes)
- Introduction to automotive engineering.(Borde vara valbar)» (Yes)
- Measurement tecnhiques for automotive applications, it is a interesting topic but really bad organized. Road vehicle aerodynamics, I think it is too basic and some more practical stuff could be added» (Yes)
- As mentioned before, the assignments in the intro to automotives course are repeated in other courses. I think the company field trip part of the course should be emphasized and, if possible, short term work terms would be an interesting way to get acquainted with the auto industry.» (Yes)
- Introduction to Automotive Engineering. Those 7.5 credits might be better spent on a more focused course instead of just touching several areas. The organization behind the Hybrid course is very poor. Supervision for the assignments was poor and ALL decisions regarding when the midterm and exam will be, if there is an exam, how you are being judged should be decided and announced BEFORE the course begins. NOT a week before the possible exam and why write a review if it"s decided AFTER the course that it"s not part of the course grade????» (Yes)
- Hybrid vehicles could be more advanced.» (Yes)
- Except for making the safety course non-mandatory, the courses offered are interesting. In general the courses are a little bit too easy.» (Yes)
- The courses in vehicle dynamics should be more applied. For example using commercial softwares like Adams, Lotus Raven etc » (Yes)
- I do not think that any should be removed, just revised. Those are: Introduction to automotive engineering - to broad Hybrid vehicles and control - very poor, has to deeper into the subject, what kind of hybrids are on the market and how do they work but it should not be an applied contol system course. Spend more time on the component selection Passive safety - know that it has been changed but have heard that the course still has a low level. It is not interesting see people showing PP slides in 90 min each lecture. More practical applications, calculations, accident investegations... Road vehicle aerodynamics - the content consists of many pictures of nice cars, interesting but not on this level. Need more relevant substance, more weight. Road vehicle aerodynamics advanced - better then the first but more lectures needed both in what it should result in and the context of the course » (Yes)
- Even if I found it very interesting, the passive safety course should not be mandatory for every students attending the MPAUT. » (No)

13. Impression of the Vehicle Dynamics specialisation.

Matrisfråga

- The Measurement Techniques was to messy, so many people skipped that one because of that. I would have liked more Aerodynamics courses.»
- Grundkursen var riktigt bra och rolig! Fortsättningskursen var lite diffus. Mer labbar och tidigare hade klargjort kursen lite mer. Kanske köra Adams, såsom Rigid Body Dynamics gör på Applied Mechanics, alternativt kunna välja bort Introduktionskursen för att ersätta med en sådan.»
- In vehicle dynamics, the teacher was really bad but I don"t remember the name(coursed during academic year 2008/2009, in november and december 2008). In Measurement Techniques, Johan Davidson was trying his best but he had too much lack of knowledge about the topic»
- Vehicle Dynamics is all about theory and nothing about practice (except a small lab exercise at Stora Holm). Too abstract.»
- I keep writing it in every questionnaire!!! Please add more suspension material in the course (including steering)! World is full of nonlinearities, linear (or linearised somehow) vehicle behaviour does not work in the limits!»

15. What is your impression of the automotive project courses: Automotive Engineering Project, Chalmers EcoMarathon and Chalmers Formula Student?*

Matrisfråga

- I would gladly have done Chalmers Formula Student if you could get more credits for them. It would have been nice to have Aerodynamics project in the Automotive Engineering Project course.»
- I was very disappointed with the AEP. Supervisors asked from us many many things but we could not perform any test due to the lack of measurement systems available for that course. Our main supervisor seemed also not very interested in the results we could get. "He even disappeared for more than a month and just before the final presentation"! »
- Too far from real world I"m affraid...»
- need more effort within team to work, so some guidelines are to be laid when working as a team»
- Formula Student is an excellent project but management can be better. It"s already better with the CFS10 team but can still improve.»
- Everyone need to understand what they are up for before entering the project»
- Good but more resources should be provided to students enrolled in Automotive Engineering Project course! It seems that equipments and real-life testing permissions are offered to the students enrolled in Chalmers EcoMarathon and Chalmers Formula Student courses, not to the ones in the project course!»

- There was almost no information to the students. We have still not been informed about Master thesis (finished with 1,5 year). There were no information about the electable courses. The list goes on. Sonja was not that keen to hand out old exams either.» (Poor)
- Very little information about the program. Absolutely no info before applying to master thesis! No info about what kind of elective courses or how the program really worked. I got the impression that you had to have a specialization, but you don"t.» (Poor)
- Would like more information and guidance before the master thesis. First weeks of the second year an information meeting should be held with all practical information needed and tips on ways to apply for thesis"s as well as tips on interesting companies.» (OK)
- Malin Kjellberg was always WAY TO BUSY!» (OK)
- Maildisciplin har varit blandad. Dock har alltid koordinatorer alltid varit anträffbara och behjälpliga.» (Good)
- You could get really good help and advices from most of them!» (Good)
- Even I don"t know them all. But the administration here is quite good.» (Excellent)

18. What is your opinion of the information as a current student within the program ?*

Matrisfråga

- Borde varit ett massutskick mail med nödvändig formalia rörande Examensarbete redan på hösten.»
- Regarding the master thesis information, I had to ask maybe 5 or 6 times to different persons to get some valuable information. I do not know for swedish students how it works, but for foreign students, there is simply no information from the administration regarding theses. The fifth time I asked for some, it has been told me that a paper will be sent resuming all the information we need, it was in September 2009 and I am still waiting for it...»
- Maybe to put some elective course suggestion with the specialisation.»
- No or very little information has been given during the studdies. No information about elective courses was given(!) as well as no information about how the thesis work should be carried out.»
- Have not seen any information, no about courses, no about projects exept Formula and Eco. Must inform and promote a lot better, both in classes and via mail. This is really poor!»

- We didn"t had that. I think that we are old enough to choose which people we want to work with by ourself=) It is not okey to force swedes to work with abroad students. It just creates dissatisfaction.» (Bad)
- Gender is no problem but as long as people with different culture believe it"s better to keep their face and suck up to teachers instead of being honest and doing their job it will always be a problem working with Swedish Chalmers students.» (Bad)
- Utfallet är som att jobba med Svenskar, ibland har man fått väldigt bra kollegor, ibland riktigt dåliga. Vad som är viktigt är att man kan bestämma själva eller revidera så att man ej hamnar med någon som gratisåker på betyg, som utländska studenter har en förmåga att göra. Plagiat också vanligt förekommande. Det tycks vara förmildrande omständigheter vad gäller plagiat från utländska studenter.» (OK)
- Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Swedes work in such a different way compared to e.g asian. You have to work with someone that want to fulfill the same as you do.» (OK)
- Some foreign students lack in prior knowledge, and when paired they just follow the flow. But this is not always the case and then it is really good to mix the students.» (OK)
- Erasmus students should be encouraged to study harder. Life is not all about having joy!» (Good)
- I like the idea of mixing, but sometimes it has been hard to work with swedish people because they were trying to work together» (Very good)

- It"s a MAJOR problem that the Vehicle Dynamics staff is located at Lindholmen. Especially when their courses include somewhat complicated Matlab programs which is difficult to discuss via mail. It"s a must to have them located at Johanneberg for good teaching. Another problem is the limited access to teacher"s office areas. The doors to the departments should be unlocked!» (Poor)
- Sogol Kharazzi i Advanced Vehicle Dynamics har varit riktigt otrevlig. Dock har Derong varit fantastisk och de flesta andra doktorander har också varit bra.» (Good)

- There need to be more dedicated matlab sessions in the bachelor degree program» (OK)
- But we should have been given a course in Matlab at Chalmers in our bachelor...» (Good)
