- S&F» (Very meaningful)
- Have not ended it yet! But so far so good.» (Very meaningful)
- Since I don"t find space to write "other comments" I"ll write it here. I"d like to see more cooperation between the industry and the fluid dynamics part in the program. I"ve heard there are a few visits to some companies for those taking the solid courses, but so far none for us doing fluid courses. As far as I know, Volvo has one of the most modern windtunnels in the world... Maybe that is something to work on? I also think that this questionnaire could be a litte longer and have a few more questions. » (Very meaningful)

3. Do you believe the education prepares you for a job as a professional engineer?

Genomsnitt: 3.34

- yes but job market is not good for an "outsider!"» (Yes)
- We get the "tools" to solve problems, as some lecturers say...but i don"t know if that is all that a professional engineer needs. We haven"t had much contact with them in the courses.» (Yes)
- Very often you feel insecure about this, since you read courses in a large spectra, but hopefully it will changes when doing the master thesis. » (Yes)
- To be honest, it"s quite hard to judge that as a student.» (Yes)
- I have no idea since Im not sure exactly what is wanted » (Yes definetely)

- The course literature is very poor. I rather spend money of texts that I understand then get the employees literature, which most often is to short and concise. The pedagogical capacaty of the writers is not that great. Another detail is that all courses concist of assignments, most of which is well prepared, but we never get any reflection by the teacher of our analysis. How are one supposed to know whats right and not. I would like that after an assignment the examinator upload a sort of "completion" paper, the same sort as the thesis... I really think this is important for our learning and understandning. Its like calculating problems and never no the right answere. Also important for motivation to perform in the next assignments. » (Good)
- Generally I think the standard is high. But I think that some of the lecturers hast to rethink and separate training from education, because they are not the same thing. What should be done at MPAME (in my mind) is 90% education and 10% training.» (Very good)

6. What do you think about the study work load in the programme as a whole?

- I have been studying at engineering physics so my definition of adequate work load is a bit of. » (Low)
- Bachelor level - adequate work load Masters level - high work load» (Adequate)
- it is high actually but OK» (High)
- Sometimes to high.» (High)
- It is very demanding, but at the same time I knew that it would be. » (High)
- High as expected which is good since one really notice that the level is higher than at bachelor level.» (High)
- High, but not too high. It should be high.» (High)

- There seems to be a total lack of pedagogical training for the teachers. Sure they know their respective area very well, but I"d say that half of them are totally oblivious to any pedagogical thinking. » (Rather poor)
- If I want to ask a professor something I can almost always go to thier room or email them a quastion. If they have time they help me or we make another apointment. » (Very good)
- Some lecturers, which has more duties other than research, e.g division leader are harder to find sometimes which can be problematic in some courses.» (Very good)
- Except computational mechanics» (Excellent)

Friendly»		24		63%
Helpful»		35		92%

Poor»		0		0%

- LOVE IT!» (Respectful, Friendly, Helpful, Open-minded)
- But there are bad exceptions» (Respectful, Friendly, Helpful, Open-minded)
- This depends very much on who the teacher is.» (Friendly, Helpful, Open-minded)
- I"d like to say most of the lecturers/teachers/professors are helpful and want to help as much as possible. I understand that some of them has alot to do also and I have no problem if they tell me to come back later. But there is clearly a difference between the lecturers how much the they like to educate us students, and how much they like to do their own research. That may be worth mentioning since the courses the I like the most, is often the courses that has an inspiring lecturer who really want his/her students to learn.» (Respectful, Friendly, Helpful)

- This is mostly since I think to few people acually does the course evaulations. » (Not at all)
- I believe the programme management takes them seriously but the teachers often do not. Either the teacher is already open to suggestions and changes, in this case the evaluatuions do not contribute much, but many teachers do not care about the evaluations and do not change things anyway.» (Not at all)
- Most of the course evaluation sessions are just a way for the professor tio find excuses for why the students have answerd the way they have done.» (Not at all)
- In general the course evaluations are taken seriously and have meaning for both the programme and the students. In one or two courses (in the M Bachelor programme), however, there are "rockstarts" that don"t pay attention to the students opinion even at the course evaluation meetings. THEY SHOULD.» (Could be improved)

- I have never experienced harassments from teachers or TA:s but among fellow students I find that some think women ought to do secretary work and leave the real engineering to the men.» (Yes, discriminations)
- I know a professor that told everyone in class something like "These days the examination is anonymous, but I will revisit everyones exam after a first correction in order to compensate for how I feel that you have participated throughout the lectures and so on and so on like this". Clue, S&F fluid course.» (Yes, discriminations)
