Genomsnitt: 1.82

- Excellent!» (Very satisfied)
- Obligatory courses that are neither interesting nor important (->HVAC), too little semi-compulsories (-> in the end you have to take courses like Transportant or SD that you are not interested in and have to leave courses behind that would be more suitable for your life like Turbomachinery)» (Satisfied)
- some courses could be improved both in structure and level» (Satisfied)
- Some things could be made more clear about the semi-compulsory courses in connection with the double degree exchange. » (Satisfied)
- The course HVAC didn"t give anything, and I would have much rather taken other courses instead of that. Also the course Environmental Aspects of Transport was interesting, but I can"t see why it"s a semi compulsory course.

Presently we learn a lot more about coal, natural gas and nuclear power, and neither of those are renewable.» (Satisfied)
- The structure of the program is superb, but the content lacks sustainability (every second course is about burning, but burning and sustainability are contradictory) » (Satisfied)

- I think they want to take us seriously but at the same time there are always excuses to why things are the way they are.
