Somewhat meaningful»		2		8%
Quite meaningful»		10		40%

Genomsnitt: 3.44

- My idea of a masters programme was more in-depth studies than what I experienced.» (Somewhat meaningful)

Not at all»		0		0%
Somewhat»		5		20%
Yes»		12		48%
Yes definetely»		8		32%

Genomsnitt: 3.12

- Perhaps a bit too research oriented on the solid mechanics side» (Somewhat)
- I think we should use commersial codes more. So far we have just used commersial codes in some cases. I suggest that we can have a FEM or/and CFD course when we do simulations with different models (more than one). The computer laborations in the respective courses is not enougth. I want to have somthing similar like the CAD-course that they now have in the first year in Mechanical engineering.» (Yes)
- I also appreciate the focus on group work which was not that high in Germany» (Yes definetely)

4. Does the program meet your expectations?

Genomsnitt: 4.37

- Don"t like that so many solids courses are compulsive, since my main interest are the fluid courses.» (OK)
- I would like to have some more courses where you practically use your engineering skills and the theory that have been studied. An exempel should be a FEM or CFD course after the basic theoretical courses in the area where you almost solely work practically in commercial softwares. I am aware of the project course in the program that should aim at these point but I would like one course that is more straight through with different assignments where you learn the most general things about how to perform proper simulations.» (Good)
