16. Indicate possible improvements for your bachelor program.Please comment on areas that have to be strengthened in the bachelor programme, courses that need to be modified or does not fit into the program and so on.- The order of the courses needs to be rearranged. RIght now you take image analysis after image processing/diagnostic imaging and this just makes it harder and more confusing.»
- It has already been changed to the better since when I started it (2009). They have added more CAD for example, which I missed during my time.»
- Reglertekniken kursen kan behöva ses om.»
- Perhaps more cell biology and to divide it into several courses instead of mixing everything into one.»
- No rush on the lectures, focus on understanding. More connection with nowadays technologies.»
- The courses should be harder to pass to make sure enough experiance is achieved before entering the MP.»
- More statistics/probability courses»
- Oh.
"Bärkraftig resursanvändning" - Didn"t make me better at anything related to Datateknik. Useless.
"Datakommunikation" - I see why we had a course in networks but the level was so basic and that made it a waste of 7hp.
»
- Reglerteknik does not fit in the program. I"m pretty sure I won"t have any use of the course and it is pretty hard to pass if you are not interested in the subject.»
- perhaps software engineering project or some similar course should be mandatory. Mentioning javascript in the object-oriented programming course and perhaps even including a JS-lab assignment would be good»
- Could be more preparing for my certain master program even if it was already good.»
- More courses with projects.»
- To much geotechnics for my taste.»
- Some courses needed oversight in our first year, but they have been fixed for this year"s freshman.»
- More courses that focus on medical research. Less focus on the industry.»
- None»
- I and several other at the program think that the program is too much focused on low level ASIC design and VHDL, and that focus should be shifted more towards hardware oriented programming. For example courses involving an embedded operating system or networks for emb. systems.»
- If the lectures could become more useful, it would be worth of the tuition fee. My experience told me the lecture from Chalmers were useless. »
- FTF195»
- Companies that understand what they get into when they apply for the product development project»

- Too much focus on building construction in the beginning.»
- More courses that contain programming aswell as design. »
- statestikkursen måste förbättras»
- more relevant courses in the spring»
- More of the soil and rock mechanics»
- The program needs a better connection between the PA and the students. The process for ecaluation of the program and its courses is poor.»
- It is a lot of repetition in the courses. Same things in many courses. »
- Ta bort transformer och reglerteknik»
- More hardware oriented courses. Some basic course on semiconductors»
- Financial mathematics for Industrial engineering students is not well-structured. The courses could be more geared towards corporate finance and easier on the math.»
- An introductory course in algorithm design, and more electable courses within computer science.»
- Programming with more languages, in more tasks.»
- A solid education in methods and more reflecting courses are necessary as well as a better student/teacher ratio. But again this does not concern Sweden.»
- Add another (good, not the "stochastical methods" joke course) course on statistics. It"s well needed.»
- The program needs to live up to its name, and not only focus on the theoretical stuff.»
- mer fokus på miljö genom hela programmet. Mer samverkan med andra kandidatprogram. Mer om samhällsplanering och samhällsbyggande i stort, just nu är det väldigt tekniskt och detaljerat.»
- My bachelor program did not have the same focus as the Master Programme that I am doing at Chalmers. Therefore, I consider it not relevant to make suggestions.»
- A Matlab/Simulink course and less library courses»
- More practical "construction", doing stuff in CAD and making drawings etc.»
- Course ERE102 Reglerteknik does not fit into the program. It is way too hard and consumes too much time that could be spent on other courses. It should be removed or heavily modified so that it is possible for someone with a computer science background to pass it on the first try.
The course TEK130 Vetenskapshistoria which is one of the compulsory MTS-courses is not up to the academic standard that Chalmers hold.
Generally, there are some courses were the lecturer does a bad job in presenting the subject, even if the curriculum of the course is good.
»
- Simuleringen kändes inte så relevant samt att då den bara är godkänd eller icke godkänd lade man ner väldigt lite tid på den. En idé är också att byta plats på hållfastighetsläran som ligger i lp4 år tre och exempelvis tillverkningstekniken som ligger i lp2 år 3 då hållfastighetsläran är en tung kurs att ha samtidigt som man är i slutskedet av sin kandidatuppsats. Tillverkningstekniken är inte heller helt lätt men ändå lite mer greppbar än hållfastighetsläran. »
- Better connect computer science to non-classical computer science courses such as cotnrol theory etc. Students need to be able to relate in order to be interested. »
- More study visits/travels»
- more oral presentations»
- Operating systems: dissonance between what was taught and what was assessed on the exam. The labs unsupported and felt disconnected from the lectures.
Distributed systems II: did not really provide any extra depth or content as compared to the first course. Excellent labs, but the lectures did not teach us anything new.»
- Ta bort ekonomikursen och teknisk samhällsplanering, möjligen slå ihop dem. »
- The selection of semi-mandatory courses is very strange, I have no practical option than to take 15hp worth of courses in image analysis in this programme. »
- The Matstatt course needs to be inproved drastically! I did not lear much on that course.»
- the sustainability part of the education was of low quality and could have been done much better. »
- i hear they plan to remove the course in basic control. please tell them not to!»
- Consider the overlap in various courses. make uses of the mathematical knowledge in the economies and BA courses. Build a real case based education.»
- More focus on sustainable development and system thinking.»
- There is a need of relevant MTS-courses to choose from. Kretsanalys EMI084 is too basic and could be at a more advanced/higher level. Datakommunikation EDA343 has a nice and relevant content/topic but has extremely poor administration, the lectures does not increase learning. Teknisk kommunikation FSP025 should be replaced or changed entirely since it is at the level of pre university studies (grundskolan), rather that encouraging students to act and take initiative to learn it makes them skip classes and feel like children since that is how the teachers treat them. In Teknisk kommunikation it was accepted by the teachers to not complete tasks, to be late and to not participate in class. »
- Matlab need to be improved (I started Bt08).
I didn"t feel that I learned matlab until the last course on biotechnology master: Industrial biotechnology. Maybe for a biotechnology student it is more useful to know how to use existing programs instead of writing code..? Transport processes is a good but too heavy course, it need to give more hp or reduce the content. I think that "mekanik med biologiska tillämpningar" feels like an unessessary course...»
- It"s a quite well balanced program, and in addition, they have redone the whole education schedule on later years, so I would say that my opinion does not reflect the current program»
- Better organisation would be valuable!»
- everything, many courses had nothing to do with the program, especially konstruktionsmetodik, kommunikation, Miljö och energiteknik and many others»
- Introduktionskursen Konstruktionsmetodik var i princip helt onödig, jag lärde mig ingenting. Även kommunikationskursen var onödig, förutom grammatikdelen i den. Kurserna materialteknik och tillverkningsteknik kan förbättras väldigt mycket.»
- I lack a course in Hamiltonian Mechanics which would have been useful later courses in Quantum Mechanics.»
- Decreased work load. The work load is insane and much higher than in other bachelor programmes at Chalmers! Engineering physics should be reviewed to be improved!»
- Industriell ekonomi känns fortfarande inte som att jag har haft nytta av. »
- The Bachelor Thesis didn"t seem very useful. I understand that it"s necessary in order to live up to the Bologna Process standards, but it could still be executed better. Other courses, like the The environmental course would be much better if it was more influenced by social sciences (Not everything has to be technical just because it"s a technical univeristy, right?).»
- -Many of the 4,5 hp courses had a very high work load.
-Information has often been lacking.»
- increase or introduce pedagogical education for most of the teachers. Lectures and course structure have unfortunately not met my expectations.»
- Spending more resources on labs (newer, or at least working, materials) in various courses would always be appreciated.
I would have liked to be able to choose a more "physics"-oriented path. Perhaps add a new physics course as an electory one togerher with Hållfasthetslära and Reglerteknik åk2 lp4?
I feel that there were gaps in my knowledge that were assumed to be known in the master"s programme, that could have been filled by such a course. »
- It is good with a broad knowledge, but I feel that it could have been good to have more courses that build on each other.»
- The level of difficulty in some management courses can be advantageously increased to a level more close to master program level, in particular the marketing and operations courses. (At least at the time I attended them.) For reference, Ekonomisk Analys 3 had a challenging level of difficulty.»
- Step by step learning can be made for bettter following the course. »
- N/A»
- det är bra med information och väldigt tydligt som det är idag men informationen kommer något sent kan jag tycka.»
- Intellectual property rights and strategies
Understanding the creation of a business case and not only a use case
Basic IT course»
- I think that Flervariablen should be a mandatory course»
- more business cases»
- The course in mathematical statistics. I really tried to learn but the material was poor, e.g. there was no examples in a major part of the literature. Therefore I did not have the skills that I needed for the MP.»
- FTF195, TMA682, EEM065, KAA060. Need to update and reevaluate their"s purpose. In some cases adapt the content in terms of time and hp. Improve the exam to bring more knowledge to the students»
- Informationskompetens kursen för att lära sig söka i bibliotekets sökmotor var totalt onödig och att man ska behöva ha två nästan identiska kurser i detta under både första och tredje året och dessutom ha en hemuppgift i detta känns väldigt korkat. Vem vet inte hur det används egentligen? Borde räckt med en halvtimmas information om hur det funkar och var man hittar verktygen i en föreläsningssal där man bifogas ett dokument om hur det fungerar. »
- Mer återkoppling efter varje kritik i kurserna/projektet. Att få chans att diskutera och reflektera över vad man gjorde bra och vad man kan jobba mer med i nästa kurs, och synliggöra vilka kunskaper man fått. Eftersom kunskapen på arkitektprogrammet kan verka så abstrakt är det viktigt att försöka konkretisera det man lärt sig. Gärna genom någon sorts seminarie i mindre med andra elever (och lärare) där man kan diskutera hela processen lite mer avslappnat än vid kritikttillfället där det är mer fokus på slutprodukten och inte resan dit.»
- Better courseadministration, less pingpong.»
- No changes»
- Needs more sustainable development thinking»
- It"s been too many years since then to come up with a good answer.»
- More project courses (has already been done). »
- I personally would like further courses in atmospheric science and water analysis to chose from, as there were in the former masters programme Environmental measurements and assessments.»
- Väg-kurserna kan behövas ses över. De är bra men de kan ha högre tempo på föreläsningar.»
- IAR059 feels very poor for the moment, not well defined and very confusing. Doesn"t fall in line with the rest of the courses.»
- Reglerteknik feels like a bit unneccessary course. Almost everybody fails it many times and it becomes a problem in general. Also, nobody really cares since what is taught feels not relevant for most of us.
I think the signals and systems course is relevant because it teaches a lot of mathematics which is more generally applicable, while Reglerteknik course takes things too far. I"m sure it"s useful stuff, but it feels VERY far from what most of us will be doing with software development, algorithms and parallel programming for example. Also, many students from the TKDAT bsc think that they lack a lot of mathematics skills to properly learn the Reglerteknik course. I did too, even though I had grade 5 in the basic math courses and electric circuits (lots of applied math), and 4 in statistics and 4 in transforms and signals.
Reglerteknik was just on a far higher level and different from the other things we study. It shouldn"t be mandatory. »
- Embedded control systems (more control, less peer reviewing)»
- Rather big classes limits the interaction with teachers but I guess theres not muh to do about that»
- There need to be more elective courses. »
- Remove model-driven development»
- n.a.»
- Possible improvement: Practical course (obligation) for everybody within the BSc program (15hp). »
- I am enlisted in 2006 and at that time Operations management and Verksamhetsutveckling were basically the same thing. If it hasn"t been done already, those two could have a better alignment. Programmering was completely useless to me, by far the hardest course to see the benefits of.»
- I think the different future possibilities should be stressed more, like for example - i don"t think it"s so common to choose MPDSD from AT, which is a shame. I am very satisfied, but didn"t know so much about it before. I think also the study-social environment should be strenghtened. The education takes over your life. I think it"s a matter of both the pressuare we as student"s put on ourselfe, beause we have a history of being ambitious and so on, but this is also stressed by the teachers and tutors that put"s high pressuare on AT student when it comes to results. Everybody expects us to deliver, and that means tasks and assignments can sometimes be handled out late because the teacher "know we will do it", but it gives us no time to plan our life and spare time.
To solve this, I think the expectations and workload need to be declared clearer and at an early stage, so we at least have time to plan in some other activities. I think there need to be a aconsciousness from teacher"s point of view that there is important to encourage the process as well as the diversity in the group. To sometimes stress that it"s a skill to know "good enought".»
- Make the math courses better when it comes to how many that can pass it»
- In general, more Matlab training is always necessary. Furthermore having a control systems course should be mandatory.»
- I matstat kursen borde göras om lite för man lärde sig inte så mycket med det upplägget som var då»
- Flytta rigid body dynamics till bachelor programmet. skulle kunna göra till en valbar kurs. Matematisk statistik kan va en intressant kurs men upplägget av examineringen gjorde att ingen bra förståelse uppnåddes. Examineringsmetoden bör förändras även om verktygen som användes var bra. »
- The order of the courses. Statistics is too early, by time we need it it is already forgotten. Stat and transport should not be at the same time»
- More case studies, or anything to gain more practical experience and understanding for what we are calculating (courses on construction)»
- The group work sometimes is not working at all together with the international studies, who copy texts, cheat and show lack of interest. This is not all of them, some are extremely good to work with. The problem is the lack of commitment to help the Swedish students when things like this happens. The responsibility for this if 100% upon the Swedish students and the teachers don"t want to address these problems with the students that don"t contribute to the group work.»
- bättre statestik kurs»
- More courses of Project Management»
- Information about courses that could be choosen outside the master program. Like project management or LEAN. »
- The description of the courses is hard to understand/does not tell much about the course. Please make this better.»
- Some of the courses in, for instance, electronic circuits needs to be far less mathematical in their nature. To engineering students, the world tends to be described as something that drops out of elaborate equations, which is somewhat less intuitive as compared to some more conceptual explainations.»
- Bachelor is extremely broad - good of course but frustrating when you know what you want and have to take so many courses which not belong to your future branch. It is however a strength to be "allmänbildad" and it is very godd that the theoretical basis is established, using maths as a tool and as a way of solving engingeering problems is very godd (this is the distinction between civilingenjör and höskoleingenjör, it is very clear at Chalmers byggingenjör vs väg och vatte that the theoretical and mathematical basis is much higher at väg och vatten).»
- We had no mandatory course they should include that and I think they did by now.»
- I think a Research design and methods course would be good to have already during the bachelor program, and maybe also one in project management.
Also, to get some education using MS Excel would be really good I think, and a lot more useful than for instance Matlab.
I chose the IT-bas, and the step to that from the mandatory programming course was too big for someone who hadn"t been programming before I think. I"m overall a bit skeptic towards the teknikbaser, since they feel quite unfocused in relation to the bachelor program. Although it"s of course nice to be able to form also your bachelor education to some extent.»
- The course in industial economy seems incredibly unnecessary. It should probably be replaced. »
- I would like a stronger mathematical base by adding MVE085. One more course in signal processing and to remove (or improve by actually inserting useful knowledge) courses like:
FFR101
EDA497
TDA289
TEK225»
- Improving of the connection to sustainable development
Improve Miljö- och resursanalys för hållbar utveckling - for a very nice example, look at Sustainable development and the design professions (AMU 019). I"d reccommend it to all engineer students at Civil Engineering»
- The non topic courses such as the MTS courses and the communication has big room for improvements. Also the "teknisk bredd" courses feel squeezed in and are just time consuming but haven"t given me much extra for the master or my professional life.»
- I"m satisfied»
- More engineering courses such as cintrol and mechanics and transforms should be addad to the bachelor in my opinion.»
- More 3d-modeling.»
- More basic structural courses and less courses like "Teknisk samhällsplanering, materia-vågteori, geologi, hydraulik, BIS.»
- Miljökursen är helt bortkastad. Borde göras om i grunden och vara en naturligare del av alla kurser. Mer 3D-modellering.»
- Better spread of the profile courses throughout the 2 years. As it is now, 3 of the 5 profile courses are on the same period Q2, which limits our choice of courses and makes planning courses a headache.»
- Adjust "Reglerteknik" to fit the program»
- More about acoustics, it"s only mentioned in one course right now.»
- Ingenjörsmetodik didn"t feel very useful. I would like to have had a course in computer sketching, using i.e. photoshop and Illustrator, early on in the program.»
- Mekanik och bärande konstruktioner»
- ---»
- no»
- samhällsplaneings delen, trafikdelen»
- Hållbar produktutveckling does not fit in. Bättre kurs i energiteknik. »
- 1) Drastically increase the difficulty of the program (way too easy at the moment). Also, make it "more time consuming". Full time at Chalmers is more like part time (50%) at other international universities.
2) Exams/projects etc should focus on understanding, problem solving, and critical thinking rather than just memorizing the book/lectures
3) Make the economics/management courses more quantitative
4) Make the courses more interactive (more case discussions during class)
5) Introduce course about mathematical optimization (and how it could be used in industrial management)
6) Combine a few of the management courses and introduce new management courses »
- Mindre fokus på etanolproduktion med jäst och öppna upp för alla andra fält som finns inom bioteknik.»
- Teknisk kommunikation 1-3 - Känns som gymnasiekurser och tar upp saker som man redan bör kunna från gymnasiet. Bör plockas bort helt från programmet och eventuellt ersättas med någon typ av kemi-kurs. H-ING programmet kan behöva en projektkurs som t.ex går ut på att genomföra ett lite större projekt som har något att göra med kemi eller kemiteknik. »
- I don"t think that "Materie- och vågteori" should be complusory for studying MPSEB (not that I know of yet in study period 4 of the 1st year)... Improvement could be made in early informing TIBYL-students of necessary courses to be allowed to apply for masters programs and also courses needed to be able to achieve "Civilingenjör" apart from achieving a master of science. If the students are informed about this earlier (already in end of the 1st year of the bachelor), the student could more easily plan his/her "study-path" and what courses to choose and in which study period to put them (to make it work with the schedule), especially if courses outside the regular plan are needed (e.g an MTS-course).»
- More projects, more shape-related courses»
- Perhaps it would be wise to exclude the part of navigation and instead add another elective course in for e.g.customs handling or pure transport knowledge with lecturers coming from the business»
- More focus on programming and better course in it. While not a specific topic, extremely useful and necessary, both for studies and for work.»
- More connection to industry»
- more math like a course in Fourier series and Laplace transformation. In Applied mechanics Fourier series would be good to read.»
- I am very satisfied with my bachelor program, no adjustments»
- Advanced form design
Ergonomics design for all
»
- Evaluate if the technical courses is relevant, e.g. fluid mechanics. Open up for digital product evaluation courses.»
- Graphical Interfaces is necessary, but the actual course needs improvement. In a lot of courses there is conflicting information on deadlines, dates etc.»
- -Generally, the need to work with stress, bad confidence, and the education to form ONE single type of architect!
- we need computers!
- bad course - bostadens rum, (too stressfull). you learn more when not work during hig pressure and stress.
-Att undersöka arkitektur, not a necessary course.»
- Increase the possibilities to take more courses in electronics and circuit theory.»
- The course Statistical Inference MVE155 should be given and preferably mandatory for Teknisk matematik. I felt that the course were to simple, the majority of the course had been done in previous courses in mathematical statistics.»
- Need a red thread in the third year. The courses are somewhat in different areas and don"t depend on each other. »
- Need more programming and a better intro to MATLAB + Mathematica, programming is essential in both industry and research. Make some of the courses in quantum physics, solid state physics and subatomic physics elective. Not everyone wants to work in this area. »
- Fler valbara kurser, mer information om tillämpningar av kurser, »
- No real need to take modules in digital design/electronics or control theory for purposes of MPWPS programme.»
- The optics course needs to be removed, it gives nothing and rather destroys the formalism and knowledge of the electromagnetic fields course.
There SHOULD be a course in analytical mechanics (at least a choice). The course in Mathematical physics SHOULD be compulsory (let it take the optics place!). The course in enviromental physics where mostly just meh and didn"t give much »
- I did not study at chalmers during my bachelor studies.»
- -»
- it was good overall, can"t find out anything particualar to improve»
- Better math knowledge is needed, almost all math courses are taken in the first or second year. Familiarity with Matlab is needed as well. »
- I would have appreciate to work more in advance with Matlab»
- Less theory. More practical implementations of for instance mathematics.»
- Smaller classes or more resources! The size of the class prevent my development and learnings. For instance when working in groups we have normally been 7-8 persons, that has moved the focus on learning, to solving group problems »
- Teknisk Fysik är jävligt maxat, om man skulle ta bort nåt skulle det inte vara vad det är. Men samtidigt känns många av kurserna väldigt onödga med tanke på vad de aldra flesta gör nu. Det skulle vara bra med lite med valfrihet i trean. »
- More programming. »
- Try to schedule long lab exercises in a way that does not interfere to much with the regular courses. »
- A cad course that is not revit maybe»
- Optikkursen borde strykas. De väsentliga delarna tas ändå upp i andra kurser. Gör möjligen kursen valfri och flytta den till läsperiod 3 i tredje året (bland övriga valfria) och gör istället både hållfasthetslära och reglerteknik obligatorisk.»
- ORGANISATION. Students to have a life outside of school and should be able to plan this life. It is unacceptable that we did not get a proper shedule in time (and sometimes not at all). More knowledge about different programs would also be nice, as well as more co-operation with students from other programs.»
- Not Much. Long time ago I did it to so my opinions are probably not the most relevant or even valid anymore.»
- Too many compulsory courses »
- I think it should be mandatory to take both the system control and strength of material courses during the first year.»
- A MISSING SHIP DESIGN COURSE (DESIGN USING CAD) THEORY AND APPLICATION, MORE TRACKS not only Structural such as (YACHTS AND MOTORYACHTS) , Regulation course/Classification Society, ocean engineering, (DNV,Lloyds)»
- Materie- och vågteori, Byggnadsmaterial,Byggnadsfysik- och installationsteknik,teknisk samhällsplanering»
- NA»
- Behavioral Sciences and Economics»
- Electrical engineering needs a course in machine oriented programming. A course in C for example.»
- Computer Science: More math.»
- More courses with programming tasks.
I also would have liked to have more digital signal processing courses.»
- Remove reglerteknik from computer science, this course should not be mandatory for the Bachelor, but instead be necessary for specific master programs. »
- Games and Learning felt a bit too vague and fluffy.»
- More Real Estate courses »
- Some compulsory interniship for 2-4 weeks or something where you could have an assignment that is connected to your intership»
- A corse in matlab, I have used it in half of my corses and is still not god at it.»
- Slopa meningslösa moment så som matlagning. Fortsätt utveckla de fyra barerna, vissa är bättre än andra i dagens läge.»
- Many courses had a level which was too low. Only had one course in innvoation, was difficult to know what the MPMEI was. »
- More choices for elective courses.»
- I think it would be useful if some (not all) more courses focused on "open problem" projects rather than an exams. I feel like this is a bit of a diificult transiition when coming to the master"s where you end up with problems which are much more "open" in their problem statement.»
- Was a long time ago since I did my bachelors, hard to reflect on bad courses, alot has probably changed since I did it.»
- More presentation technique»
- The area that needs to be strengthened is electromagnetic theory which is the core of my master program.»
- More focus on economic aspects.»
- Very much to do during the second period the first year.»
- More open and understanding professors. Exams on the same day is not nice.»
- The lecturers, head of program and so on need to be more interested in the students and more engaged in general. The demands on how much work the students put into the design projects could be higher in some of the early courses. I would have learnt more if the expectations from other students and teacher were higher on my work, but of course only if the teachers would care more. More engaged teachers - students work harder - students learn more. »
- Make it a programme, not just a collection of courses.»
- Closer connection between master program and research projects, e.g. PhD projects setting the theme of courses or more internally proposed thesis subjects in conjunction with ongoing research. »
- Perhaps its strengths sometimes might be the opposite. Some courses seems too far away from what mechanical engineering should be about. Perhaps have these courses as ones you can choose from as an electable course. »
- The courses "Reglerteknik" and "Transformer, signaler och system" is totally irrelevant for this an education in Computer Science. They are not related to any of the other things we"ve read. The course "Reglerteknik" is the worst of them, as it"s really hard to get a grip on what is going on in it, together with a teacher who believes students know more than they do, and a book that is too difficult.»
- Financial Management needs modification...urgently
The whole program of TIPMA needs better planning»
- More sustainability thinking in chemistry courses»
- Lessened group management focus within the project courses.»
- Closer connections to the industry and better structure and information»
- hårdare kritiktillfällen, portfoliosamtal efter varje år, bättre engagemang från de flesta professorer. »
- My bachelor needs to be more modernized. During my time we didn"t read anything about computer science or programming, two subjects that are crucial to have some knowledge about when working with product development today. Also the program need to give more courses in digital visualizing programs such as photoshop, illustrator, and video editing and design. »
- Needs to be more technical, very difficult to get job, one year after examination i am still unemployed, can"t get job as a "lab rat" which I am very overqualified for.The Biotechnology program should seriously be considerd to be removed, it doesn"t belong at a technical university and it doesn"t lead to a qualified job for many students.»
- more math coures»
- More connections with the industry. Guestlecturers from architecture firms, construction firms etc.»
- The soft sides that are implemented must make more relevance. Seems like they are there just for the sake of it.»
- No comments»
- I didn,thave photonics courses and it was hard for me to underestand them in a high level between my MP"s courses!»
- Många av miljökurserna var väldigt lika.»
- More financial focus»
- not applicable»
- "Lisebergsprojektet" should be reintroduced in the first year if possible»
- Software course»
- Industriautomation - verkar vara en utfyllnadskurs när vi läser så mycket mer avancerade kurser på området redan första året
sensorer signaler och system - mdet måste göras något ibörjan på den här kursen då den tar matematiken bokstavligen till en annan dimension. Det ar ungefär fram till sista veckan innan man förstår hur lätt det är och det är inte alla som kommer dit. Därför är det antagligen en så hög kuggprocent på framför att första kursen. Någon form av introduktion behövs i början för att man skall förstå men inte inte är så teoretisk. Sedan tror jag även där att man behöver berätta hur detta tillämpas rent praktiskt. Än idag vet jag inte vad många av de saker vi lärde oss att räka på faktiskt gör i vekligheten.»
- More numerical analysis and statistics. There is basically just one statistics and one numerical analysis course in the bachelor program, which seems strange considering their importance.»
- The courses from Nuclear Chemistry department could improve alot!»
- Explain more terms in the beginning. Do not assume that new students know the lingo.»
- Termodynamik»
- Make elteknik mandatory»
- More focus on service design. Or at least being able to choose courses in that subject. »
- Learning how to test programs properly. Doing backend for the web.»
- More possibility to choose courses in the last year. I Know many people want to skip some of the third year courses in chemical engineering since they did not choose a Chemical Engineering Masters programme and some people want to skip for example Solid State Physics in favour of some other course since they arent applying for a Physics Master. As examples.»
- I would have liked more programming and more freedom of which courses I would like to read. »
- MATLAB teaching. Add more teachers for help. 1/class is not enough.»
- More diverse sub-programs would be good.»
- The connection between product development and entrepreneurship should be discussed during all the three initial year, at least in the project courses»
- Communication Principles»
- more portfolio feedback and evaluation. (once every semester) Perhaps a system with the possibility to have a personal mentor. »
- Better programming courses, programming is the most important thing for engineers today, and Mechatronics engineers shouldnt be given bad courses in C.»
- Have never used the knowledge gained from "Tillämpad matematik" even though I enjoyed taking the course»
- mindre arkekturkurser »
- Some of the sustainibility courses are simillar»
- More availability to wood cnc machine»
- Skip the narrow focus in the construction industry and push that you can do other stuff than working as a construction manager»
- I was not supposed to choose the MP that I did. I had to take 3 more courses to be albe to apply. The number of MPs available after I is too few I Think.»
- I believe that you signals and control track is useless. You don"t benefit anything from the biomedical related topics for this track. Also the track is not very well designed since you have to take courses in period 3 and 4 which is when you would normally do your thesis. There are just too many mandatory courses in the biomedical program that are not usefull for most tracks! »
- I would have benefitted from reading Strength of Materials (Hållfasthetslära). The most important change between master and bachelor has been that I now get feedback on everything I do. In the bachelor you only got a grade, but never any comments on anything (except for the bachelor thesis).»
- Some teachers must learn how to respect and teach students»
- I think that the content of most courses has been interesting and useful, but Mekatronik SSY060, Tillverkningsteknik MPR094 were both quite poorly arranged. Bad lectures, confusing content. No red thread. Also the Statistics course (TMS062) had a questionable way of teaching. On-line. Didn"t offer enough possibilities to ask questions or work together. Mekanik och hållfasthetslära 1 and 2(MTM020, MTM025) posed quite bad excecises and it was hard to follow the logics (not only due to the students being unused to the "engineering way of thinking") I think that the excercises and lectures could have been better synced. That you"d have group works replacing part of the homework.

- Större koppling till applikationer i "verkliga livet"»
- i think everything was good, it"s nive to try different courses even if your will chose a MP that has nothing to do with some of them.»
- Dynamiska system och reglerteknik, modify the environment course.»
- Mer utbildning i digitala verktyg behövs tidigt i utbildningen och mindre "flum" på konstlabben.

- AutoCad would be useful to learn! Also, more continuous teaching in Matlab would help. »
- The MTS course...»
- More lectures and more useful lectures which not only are pp reading»

- The level could have in general been higher, including the level of seriousness, level of how challenging the I-related courses were, level of engagement from the faculty/teachers, level of time givin for support/tutoring within projects, level of width and depth of course material.»
- Reglerteknik»
- -More matlab and more matlab-tutorials!! (really important too improve!)
-There are three courses (KMS,KMV and PPHS) that are more or less the same. One/two of these could be exchanged to more beneficial courses, like matlab
»
- The bachelor program has to be structured in a way that will fit and make it easier for students to get into other MPs either than (only) MP in Maritime Management.
Actually, I"d no other choice than studying Maritime Management - very unfortunate!
Areas like: Strength of Materials, Mathematics (Fler Variable, Complex numbers, Statistics, etc.), Mechanics, Electrical System, among others needs to be upgraded/introduced to make the students more competitive in applying for other MPs both at Chalmers and other Universities.»
- More electromagnetic theory.»
- Kemiteknik miljö samhälle, Kemisk miljövetenskap, Produkter och processer i ett hållbart samhälle.»

- More understanding in differential equations, better motivations for why linear algebra is important.»
- more contact with the industry»
- Fysiken omkring oss (Was bad, but the course has changed now.. Can not comment on the result)
Programmeringsteknik (This course could be improved upon, to fit the needs of a student of engineering physics better.. Also: WHY WOULD ANYONE THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE A WRITTEN PROGRAMMING EXAM, USING PEN AND PAPER?!?!?!?!)
Optik (USELESS COURSE! REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY!!! This course is nothing but a repetition of things we already know from secondary school... And, the few things that are new is presented in other courses, in a much better way. So.. just remove this garbage!)
Strömningsmekanik (A good and relevant topic.. but some people should not be allowed to lecture!)»
- add some basic programming, maybe a smaller course in electronics»
- This goes for all courses except for economics of innovation : Make them harder, they are too easy. Further it would be nice to see the use of the technical courses to higher the motivation.»
- More contact with industry. What employment opportunities you have.»
- More software tutorial (in English if possible)»
- Would be good with a course that makes use of a (little) more advanced functional programming, since the academic maturity at the beginning of the programme was low and a lot of things had been forgotten. it was a big step to suddenly do advanced functional programming.
Also, a 2 week course in terminal usage would be good.»
- More option to focus on eligible courses that are useful for the master and enhance possibility to become multidisciplinarily profiled (elige architectural courses for instance)»
- The Haskell course from the first year D was not enough to prepare one for the Advanced Haskell course.»
- Bättre pedagogiska undervisningar!»
- Mer applicering av kurser till verkligheten. Lära oss mer vad man ska kunna när man är klar. Byggjuridik?»
- i think the courses could improve in terms of understanding them in relation to previous courses. some more reflection on the context of the courses would be nice i think. i.e. why is this course needed, what does it enable us to do that we could not do before.»
- In Kemiteknik med Fysik we had several courses together with Teknisk Fysik and were supposed to perform as well as them but with much less preparation. It was tough from time to time.»
- More digital sketch, remove some totally unnessecary courses like färglära»
- Broader range of elective courses, higher level of english lecturers, more focus on academic career rather than just outside the university.»
- no comment»
- Higher standard overall, clearer guidlines from teachers. »
- Non.»
- I think Economics of Innovation course is such an useful course for us but it was not a good quality. So, it should be changed.
Strategic Management of Technology and Innovation has more than 30 articles and they should be decreased because time consuming and do not add so much. For me, most important thing is to be together in the projects with Swedish people. For some courses you have to choose your own team and in this case we are generally with the all international in a team. Hence, may be there should be a rule like minimum 2 international student in each team with Swedish. Some rules like that can work.»
- I don"t know.»
- The level of diffikulty to pass certain exams should b elower.. around 30-50% fails/exam is not a good quality for the education.. 10-20% are more reasonable.»
- A small course in working with advanced excel which is frequently ised by companies, should be included in the program. And more teaching in eg. Autocad and Revit, which is programs that in the master can be used to in a simple way illustrate models. »

- Make solid state physics an elective course and not a compulsory as it is now. The ones that figured out that they aren"t going to study e.g. applied physics do not get anything from the course. This just makes the course more or less an obstacle you have to get past without gaining from it.»

För mig som tidigare läst Teknisk fysik blir det dels mycket repetition. För det andra har programmets materialspår ett mycket litet fokus på fysik och känns till stor del som introduktionskurser till området för studenter med en annan bakgrund än fysik. Det borde därför poängteras under informationstillfällena att om man är ute efter en fortsatt fysikutbildning bör man istället välja Physics and Astronomy och välja till kurser från Applied.» (Presentation by Master Coordinators and teachers, Presentation/Information within Chalmers)

- Största, och egentligen enda, problemet jag har haft är bristen på Matlab-introduktioner. Jag, och många andra studenter, kastas in i en kurs där ansvarig förväntar sig bakgrundskunskaper i detta program. Jag, precis som många andra, har aldrig ens öppnat Matlab innan Chalmers och har totalt failat på dessa uppgifter. De rätta förutsättningarna har inte getts.
Jag hade önskat en (ifall förkunskaper saknas) obligatorisk Matlab-kurs om 5poäng i starten av min master FÖRE dessa kurser. Jag har haft stora svårigheter med att klara kurser innehållande Matlab, det ges bristfällig introduktion och de avancerade uppgifterna klarar jag inte av. Vilket reflekteras på mina betyg senare.. jag önskar verkligen kunskaper i detta program, men har inte fått de rätta förutsättningarna» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Problems with lecturers lacking pedagogical skills.
» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- One re-examination and a grade mean of 4» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- There are some communication problems when the courses are held at GU.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Modelling and simulation!» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Problems/Dissatisfaction because of other students" low level of ambition» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- This was due to poor structure of the courses, hours was spent on just understanding what the courses was including and what we were suposed to do.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- I failed one written exam, and it was, in my opinion, partly because the examiner chose a not optimal pedagogical approach. (Read: he was unhelpful.)» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Tycker att mastern kan få fler valbara kurser. Det bör ju trots allt vara möjligt att läsa mer renodlat geoteknik eller vatten eller infrastruktur. I de flesta läsperioder är de valbara kurserna endast 2 st och 2 måste väljas. Jag skulle vilja se möjligheten att skapa sin egen grund bättre så som exempelvis konstruktion har. de har möjligheten att välja installation eller konstruktion. Jag skulle vilja se att det åt åtminstone går att välja kombinationer av vatten/geo, geo/infra och infra/vatten varje läsperiod.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Some problems but mostly due to my own overload of work on the side.
The one major problem I have with MPALG is that it is badly planned, for the algorithms track there are 3 mandatory courses in study period 3, which makes it impossible to take this track in a normal manner since we only have 1 study period #3, because in the second year you normally do the MSc thesis in that period. » (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- The IDE-project seems like the administration had a good idea but they forgot what was the focus of the course other than "make a project". It could be worth to consider what they want the students to learn and how to achieve that (plus - make a course evaluation of the IDE-project!)
None of the courses were "too hard" while not offering help» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Since I"m a V-student studying a MP given by A, I don"t have all necessary knowledge to do all tasks in all courses» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- The problems have not been to pass the courses, the problem was having a normal life outside of the school while passing courses...
It is kind of laghable how much time most of us put in to the projects and assignments just to pass. I put in 50-60 hours a week only because I"m not sure. One thing I am sure about is that I spent maybe 2-3 full weekends away from Chalmers. The first 2 periods up until christmas in the 1st year I spent the weekend between periods at home, and the very first one in september. Otherwise I was at Chalmers 8 o clock daily. Possible? ofcourse, we did it. Fair? nope. Did my personal life suffer? Yep. Friends family and romantic life all went south to the point where I daily questioned my choices and if this was to be my life.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- The courses were not impossible, if you don´,t have a family och a hobby. The combination of this master and a private life is impossible.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Some courses have increased load compared to others. If you happen to chose two courses in one period with heavy load, you are going to have a hard period.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Machine Learning course didn"t meet expectations» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Especially the courses in Finite Element Method.
Also the Geotechnics...» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Scope of some courses are very similar, thus we end up studying same thing twice. and these courses are all compulsory so no real choice in selecting a different course.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Took some time to gain enough programming skills.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- I have some time-consuming extracurricular activities and I take heavy courses on my MP, which makes it very hard to find the time to get good grades.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- The workload varies a lot between the different courses. » (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- No course choices during the spring that interested me.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Clearing ner buisness kursen var värdelös, saknade struktur och upplägget kändes som ett experiment. Samma gäller betygsättningen där nästan samtliga fick samma betyg. I övrigt har de flesta kurser varit väldigt bra. Strategic management kursen var inte jätte bra heller med liknande problem
problem.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- losing related the swedish information» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Very repetitive. Not really taking that much knowledge with me from the courses (it"s just lots and lots of group projects)» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- The problems I had was not due to the level of difficulty in the program, but to my own abilities when it comes to mathematics :)» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- The feedback from students is taken seriously and in case of problematic courses there are improvements » (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- When teaching a course in Artificial Neural Networks you really dont expect statistical mechanics and there was alot... Then even more of advanced physics math for computational biology... not really connected the Complex Adaptive Systems thinking.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Some courses were really tough but most were not. Some Courses were a bit too easy perhaps» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- The quality differs a lot between courses.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- KKR072 Computational fluid dynamics for engineers - Lecture time was basically wasted. The lectures were compressed and gone through in the beginning of the course when you didn"t have time to read through the book yet and knew nothing about the theory. I"m confident that it would have been better to go through the basics of the whole course and project in the beginning (2-3 lectures). Having some CFD excercises to gain some understanding of the practise and then starting the proper lecture series with all the detailed Theory. Secondly they had introductions to Masterthesises during excercise time (which was already compressed), which would have been very inspiring if the students would have been informed before AND if they kept the presentations to a max. 10 minutes and not 30-40 minutes.
ENM045 Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems engineering - I think a increadibly useful course when it would have had a red thread. Clear goals of what to learn and calculation excercises. The teacher also take the critic personally, and didn"t want to adapt to requests. The co-teacher was very difficult to hear. » (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Some ways of teaching were very different from others, it was hard at times to understand what was supposed to be done and what regulations had to be followed. There was some confusing information related to a couple of courses.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Some courses were way too much work, we were at campus very many hours and even on the weekend, even though I heard it is not supposed to be like that in Sweden. We complained to the teachers but not much was changed.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Some of the courses timetable collides with others, which makes it almost impossible to flexibly choose courses of interest within the program.
Some of the courses lacked relevant and appropriate course literature books.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- For reasons I mentioned earlier.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- My main problem was to get ECTS-point from my courses during my ERASMUS-semester (in Münich) accredited for in MPSES.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)

- The sustainability side did not receive as much weight/attention as I expected from course and university information. » (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- My bachelor education is outside Sweden. I feel difficult to follow up some compulsary courses which are based on Matlab or R. Because I have no background of coding. I think this is relatively not fair for international students.Basic computer courses should be provided.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- The two FEM courses were hard. Went well in the end though.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Bad communication/chemistry with some teachers» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- I really depends what you classify as "problems". Coming from a BSc in engineering physics, working tremendously hard and still fail a lot of courses is "problematic". Sure, there has been hectic times during the MP but it is nowhere to compare with the BSc although the level of difficulty varies greatly within the MP. Some courses are as the BSc and others are not at all cumbersome.» (Some problems but only with one or two courses)
- Some courses have been somewhat easy. but at the same time they require a lot of time.» (No major problems)
- demanding coures could require quite some time, but I always had the feeling I can study everything I need to pass and for any problems always ask for help somewhere » (No major problems)
- The 3rd study period was very challenging. » (No major problems)
- The thing is that the bachelor program of Kemiteknik med Fysik is very demanding so the MP I think was much easier.» (No major problems)
- In some lectures the theoretical background could be extened, though.» (No major problems)
- It depends on the involvement. » (No major problems)

- Some courses like project management and design management have a way to low level of the requirements.» (No major problems)
- One exam was really bad, MEN115 Energy systems modelling and planning.» (No major problems)
- I am no wizkid, it is more the quality of courses and my prior knowledge that have helped me get through the programme with no major problems so far.» (No major problems)
- In general there should be more information regarding written reports (rules, styles, etc), oppositions (this is not common in so many other places) and presentations. What is considered good, correct, incorrect, etc (to have the same level as students that have studied here before)» (No major problems)
- The time spent has varied a lot between different reading periods, depending on what courses I have read.
For example: in reading period one I had time for all my spare time activities and more, but in reading periods 2 and 3 there were a lot to do. I remember that I needed to skip much of my spare time activities during three weeks in reading period 3.» (No major problems)
- I have been studiying very hard at it has wetn very good - because I like the subjects belonging to my future branch (such courses were very few in the bachelor).
The MP is a challenge, it is a much higher work load than the bachelor (this is at least what me and my friends felt during the first term at the MP - suddenly all courses had like three ways of examninations (projektarbete, individuell inlämning, tentamen, ibland obligatoriska övningar och inlämningar också) instead of one, which was the standard in the bachelor)» (No major problems)
- Two re-exams I have now passed, which is a lot better than my performance during the bachelor program :)» (No major problems)
- Spring semester of year 1 has seriously been a big joke, the courses have major problems. Both software architecture and agile development processes are in need of re-structuring» (No major problems)

- I think it really depends on all your group members in the different courses. Espacially in the PD-project» (No major problems)
- Specially with huge classes (more than 50 people). Some courses are common with other Master programs and the previous knoledge may be very different between students.
I would have appreciate less student (more availability to ask questions in class) and a more customized class contents to my master.» (No major problems)
- Certain lecturer might have bias on international students and that is not something suppose to happen in Chalmers. » (No major problems)
- No problems at all until the master thesis.» (No major problems)

- Alot of work, but in a good way.» (No major problems)
- IN some courses the leadership and the structure of the courses where major problems.» (No major problems)
- Severe problem with idea evaluation » (No major problems)
- Maybe an external personal problems that have effected my focus during the study time, apart of that everything seems to be fine. » (No major problems)
- In terms of examination easier than expected. However, relying a lot on group projects which demands time and effort» (No major problems)
- I assume the questions 19, 20 and the following questions is about the master program, not the bachelor program. In some reading periods, I would say the teacher expect too much effort from the students, e.g. now in lp4 (first year). » (No major problems)
- Many of the courses were a bit too easy, but I guess it gets easy as it has been most courses that I really wanted to read now.» (No major problems)
- No comments» (No major problems)
- I have maintained pretty much the same level or higher in completing courses compared to my bachelor.» (No major problems)
- Not sure about what is meant with "problems". Is it that I encountered problems in courses and found them though to finish? Or is it problems from the people in charge of the course? The studies were not easy but it was not because the people in charge.» (No major problems)
- I worked very hard for my degree! it is not easy» (No major problems)
- I"m studying a lot more effectively than before.» (No major problems)
- small issue with software slowed me down on one project» (No major problems)
- In case this question doesn"t refer to mu own effort and although most courses didn"t have major issues, there were a couple of them the quality of which was unacceptable. Some lecturers" insufficient english language and pedagogical skills made a few courses disappointing.» (No major problems)
- Heavy workload but manageable if ambitious» (No major problems)
- Functional analysis has been the only really hard course.» (No major problems)

- No major problems but challenging, I have spent lot of time studying and completing the tasks in each course. Everything has procceded good though. » (No major problems)
- Some courses difficult, but manageble if you put your back into it» (No major problems)
- Very varying work load, for example the course Adv. Organic Chemistry took more than full time (>40h/w) which was overpowering and people should be warned to not take that course at the same time as "Polymer Chemistry and Physics" because I had stomach ache for a month after these courses were finished! At the same time many other courses in this program has consumed much less time.» (No major problems)
- För att bli godkänd krävs inte mycket. Den största förändringen och utmaningen är att göra allt på engelska.» (No major problems)
- It was not too easy, but I had no major problems either. » (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- The most difficult aspects were long lecture hours, co-ordination with other students and coping with uninteresting reads.
The actual studies has been quite easy.» (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- There are some many courses that basically are just a reformulation of previous courses, e.g. Condensed Matter Pysics and Electrodynamics. Other courses (Surface and nano physics and Modern Imaging) are just meagre in content. Yet other courses (Non-equilibrium processes) are simply disconnected from previous courses.» (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- I am used to harder courses from my Bachelor programme» (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- It can be a challenge, but one has to work hard for it to be so. The default study plan is too easy in my opinion. I believe that getting a five on the courses should imply a deep understanding of the theory behind courses.» (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- i would like the teachers to be tuffer and more challenging and have more computer competence.» (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- More or less all intensive work is during lp3 and lp4.» (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- Compared to bacholor courses the studies in this master was pretty easy. Not high workload and with biotechnoloy background alot of the courses were really easy. » (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- As mention above, the program has been way too easy. Need to make it more difficult (and greater focus on critical thinking, problem solving, and understanding)» (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- Depends of wich courses you take, some are a joke (like the materials track) if you take courses from teh computational track not so and if you take from fundamental physics definitely not.» (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- Även om jag pluggar mer än 60 timmar per vecka måste jag säga att Masterprogrammet (Applied Physics) är för lätt. Min nedlagda studietid beror på att jag för att överhuvudtaget få en utmaning dels läser 150% (tre kurser per läsperiod) varav många kommer från Fundamental Fysik. Om jag hållt mig till Applieds kurser hade jag lagt ner många timmar färre. Av de kurser jag läst från Applied Physics har samtliga varit extremt enkla (förutom Physics of Electromagnetic Materials / Functional Materials vilken håller en mycket hög nivå och klass).» (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- The exams did not assume much reasoning skills or knowledge on the part of the students. High grades were attainable by just having a basic grasp of the material that was presented.» (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- The quality is okay, but the level is very low. » (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- Väldigt mycket lättare än bachelor"n» (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- I am studying more than 60h/week because I am studying at about 180%. This is because the master"s courses are at a too low level compared to the bachelor"s program (teknisk fysik). The only courses that are actually on the same or at a harder level are the ones within my own program (Physics and Astronomy). Make the courses harder on all other programs please! We are here to learn things, not sit around and get useless credits...» (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- Coming from engineering physics it feels like i"ve only been intelectaully challenged on 3-5 lectures tops during the entire year, which is a real shame.» (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- The courses are too general - most is common sense» (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- So far, only a course was a bit more challenging. Some courses have been a bit redundant with my prior knowledge and/or studies.» (It was too easy - no real challenge)
- Very odd question, am I grading my own performance or the difficulty of the course? » (No opinion)
- Since I"m doing an erasmus year it"s hard to say anything about this» (No opinion)
- I don"t understand this question? What is grading in this sence? Either it was no major problems or it was to easy? Is this about workload?» (No opinion)
- Exchange student.» (No opinion)

- Lean production
Operations management
Operations research
should be added to the master in Quality and Operations management.
Operations Strategy
Introduction to Quality and Operations Management should be removed.
The main reason is that these courses provide little challenge and even less insights. It would be far better to understand Lean production and use mathematical models for Operations management and research instead of spending time on the Operations Strategy Matrix as in the Operations Strategy course and the introduction course which is all over the place even though all the relevant stuff reappear later in the courses.
It is mindblowing that we read so little about Lean Manufacturing, it is a shame!» (Yes)
- High performance computing or similar. » (Yes)

- Computer science related courses» (Yes)
- a real finincial course.» (Yes)
- Some kind of additional manufacruting and processes course. Since the most traditional processes might not be usable for some materials that are otherwise studied during the course. I think that even though some processes are treated in courses about a particular material this is to little. » (Yes)

- Classical field theory» (Yes)
- Fluid dynamics simulation, aerospace engineering courses, CAD courses with other software (than Catia)» (Yes)

- Software as a service, Web applications, Software engineering project, Computer networks» (Yes)
- more business cases» (Yes)
- Presentation skills, Case solutions» (Yes)
- I feel bad that of all courses, we don"t have any course for bridge Engineering under MPSEB program. Its a very important course and the University has to look for a way of fixing it. Most Universities have it. Imagine International students spend time coming from far countries and in the end they dont have it yet we are expected to perform as Structural Engineers
» (Yes)
- Mechatronic Design, Embedded Control Systems, generally make more courses from MPSYS programme available. During LP3 and LP4 of first year on MPBME, you are forced to elect imaging courses even though if you want to study signals and control track, which is strange.» (Yes)
- Atmospheric science and/or analysis of water.» (Yes)
- Plaxis och mer slope. Gärna mer valmöjligheter inom varje ämne så att man som sagt kan välja kurser efter eget tycke och inte bli "tvingad" att läsa kurser som inte intresserar en.» (Yes)
- Computer Science courses» (Yes)
- I think Artificial neural networks and computational methods in bioinformatics could be selected as part of the program, and not only as "optional courses". More things within bioinformatics and other applied, related subjects, I think would be useful since the core courses are all very theoretical.

- Machine learning as an alternative mandatory course.» (Yes)
- Add the availability to add courses in programming (a course in C or Python would be good) which is NOT based on an introductory course in a bachelor programme, since such courses tend to focus a lot on the direction of that programme, and most programmers at Applied Physics are computationally oriented, which is not really the same as IT» (Yes)
- Computational electromagnetics module could be included, very relevant for a lot of MPWPS modules.» (Yes)
- Some other course to complete the credits (7,5) of the third semester» (Yes)
- Add a track that leans more into physics combined with the computational (like a combination of the computational track and physics and astronomy programme). As it is now then all materials courses are TERRIBLE! I wouldn"t recommend them to anyone. The level is to low, the speed to slow and the cheat through most of the theory and lacks focus on practicality.
Reinstitue quantum matter, add analytical physics and the continuation of electrodynamics (that"s basically just static without dynamics... However it is REALLY GOOD.)» (Yes)

- Som programmet är upplagt idag är det inte en fysikutbildning. Programmets beräkningskurser verkar hålla en hög kvalitet men om man är ute efter bra fysikkurser bör man välja många kurser från Physics and Astronomy. Jag efterfrågar ett större överlapp mellan de två programmen. Till exempel skulle Advanced Quantum Mechanics mycket väl kunna bli en del av programmets materialspår. Problemet idag är att Applied Physics kurser håller en relativt låg kvalitet och ger liten fysikalisk förståelse medan Physics and Astronomy har många intressanta men kanske inte så industriellt tillämpbara kurser. En mix mellan de båda programmen vore därför att föredra.» (Yes)
- Rail Engineering» (Yes)
- Colaboration with student from other programs, like civil engineering (construction).» (Yes)
- A course on analytical mechanics would be very nice.» (Yes)
- I would like to learn have a skecthing class like it is part of the teknisk design programme. This could be visited but was not advertised as being available in english. I think IxD should work closer together with Industrial Design to provide courses to each others programmes. Industrial Design is unfortunately not very accessible as non-swedish student without bachelor design education.
Also graphical interfaces is a very important course but very brief. So there should be a second advanced course that builds up on that.
Graphic design basics would be great and I think it will be in high demand for the many tech background students of IxD that want to strengthen their design knowledge.» (Yes)

Even though I take all the semi-mandatory courses at the program and more, there are still some gaps where I cannot find a design course to take here. So I had to look for courses at other programs and universities. Turned out I took two courses at Interaction Design and Technologies.
It would be nice to have some sort of course about "introduction to interaction design" where you get an understanding for what is included in that area of design, since many students haven"t worked with that specifically before. Also, it would be awesome with an advanced course in Sustainable design. A course in biomimicry would also be super-interesting!

- there is room for courses of choice also from other programmes in the curriculum if you plan well ahead with the compulsory elective courses» (No)
- Just improve the current courses» (No)
- But I would like the courses to be better connected and form more of a unit. Too often prerequisites are not taken for granted or are absent with the consequence that the level is set too low or too many details are left out and the course is just a popular science class.» (No)
- Its good with general courses and branching into specific fields» (No)
- There is no comments box to goals and goal fulfilment so I write my comments here. I know I have read the aims before applying and on the introduction on the first day. I can not, however, find them through the link provided in the questionnaire. I found this and guess that could what is meant by the goal of the programme. https://www.chalmers.se/en/education/programmes/masters-info/Pages/Supply-Chain-Management.aspx I have answered as if this was the correct homepage.» (No)
- SHould not be compulsory - but recommended to take som course in algorithms.» (No)
- The subjects are good - on paper it"s an awesome masters program but the execution is really bad. The teachers don"t seem used to be teaching which would be fine if they are really knowledgeable. But so far the impressions of especially the teachers in Software Architecture and Agile development processes don"t seem to really know their subjects. » (No)

Yes more than 5» | | 9 | | 1% |
No» | | 372 | | 47% |
Genomsnitt: 2.49 - There should be more compulsory elective courses to select from otherwise you can be very limited in your choice for the remaining courses - at the moment the coureses are very different so for students focussing or different aspects there will always be courses in that spectrum of only 6 courses that are not too useful/interesting for them» (?)
- Model predictive control, It was by far the hardest course I"ve ever read. » (?)
- BOM065 Materials performance
och
BOM145 Heat and moisture engineering
bör ha mindre fokus på betong» (?)

- Construction Governance should be removed.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Construction Governance
Change Strategic Management» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The elective course "Nanomaterials chemistry" was, in my opinion, at a level too low for a MP. Many students in the course were chemistry masters students and yet the course content was more suited to a bachelor level course.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Product planning and needs mapping, Computer aided design, very old theory, not relevant anymore. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Complex systems seminar. Det är en intresseväckande kurs som inte väcker intresse. Det blir tråkigt att lyssna på 70 elevers föredrag efter ett tag. Även Simulation of Complex systems kan behövas tittas över.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- A lot of courses go into eachother so after a while they are very similar» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Tabletop Computing, Methods of Interaction Analysis» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Modelling and Problem Solving in Civil Engineering» (Yes (1 to 2))

- I don"t think Heating Ventilation and air conditioning systems engineering should be mandatory but instead make it semi-compulsory.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- systems biology, when there are 200 slides to one lecture you are bound to not understand all of them properly. Plus the problem with matlab!
Industrial biotech. a good course, BUT the problem with Matlab for people with no previous experiences makes this course hard to pass. » (Yes (1 to 2))

- The introduction course could be 7,5 credit instead of 15.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Environmental Aspects of Transport» (Yes (1 to 2))
- "freight transport systems", management of physical distribution" and "environmental aspects on logistic and transportation" are in many cases very overlapping. I have even seen the exactly same slides in some of the courses. I know that "management of physical distribution" and "environmental aspects on logistic and transportation" not are mandatory, however they are the only semi-mandatory courses in the spring semester, which then forces those who want to study abroad to take those courses. I also think that reading 3 courses during the first semester made the work load very high. » (Yes (1 to 2))

It would be easier to complete tasks if they actually communicated what the tasks were. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Ordinära differentialekvationer och matematisk modellering» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Genetically engineered foods- i think this couse could give more. it was a bit lazy. I would have liked more in-depth focus on the molecular biology parts of how to create GM foods and a more complex view on problems that can arise etc.
Systems biology (2012) was also a couse that could have given more. It was unstructured and a lot of things didn"t seem very relevant... It"s a very intresting subject so I guess that it could have been done in a different way because now it felt unecessary and boring...» (Yes (1 to 2))
- the LCA course is a pure repeat of the Environmental Systems Analysis course
The applied Industrial Ecology course is useless, as it is a repeat of the Environmental Systems Analysis course.

- Mechatronic Design» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I can"t remember much in detail, but I think the course "Heat and moisture engineering" could"ve been improved in certain aspects. The parallel course, "FEM Basics" was, however, very time consuming, and consequently taking more than half of the workload.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The intro courses were to easy and » (Yes (1 to 2))
- The course Sustainable development is now very non-consistent with teachers and their goals for the students to reach.» (Yes (1 to 2))

- Modern imaging is a bit to easy» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I think it sometimes was bad that we had three courses in the same quarter.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Modelling and simulation. Also, the Image Analysis course might be replaced by the Image Processing course, as the former is a follow-up course to the later. At least it should be done in a way so that the student is given an opportunity to take the courses in that order.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- CFD, En kurs med omotiverad examinator, ouppdaterat/ofullständigt kursmaterial och till vis del fel fokus på inlämningsuppgifter. Finns potential men bör göras om i grunden. Kursen fick mig att helt tappa intresset för Fluid inriktningen trots att jag efter både Strömningsmekanik och Fluid Mechanics var mycket intresserad att gå det spåret.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- nanofabrication lab should leave to the students more room to work, not just follow the supervisor» (Yes (1 to 2))
- systems biology is really bad. it is embarrising when paying students are upset about having to pay for this course» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Marine Propulsion Systems SJO740, this course was totally unorganized, the correction of exams and presentations felt like a lottery and the teachers were lacking of commitment to help the students. Also a lot of time were spent on things that didn"t contribute to further learning but was only time consuming and took attention away from a lot of the interesting parts of the course. This course can not be kept as it is and it should not be held with the Bachelor level engineers either. Thanks to this course the whole study period suffered due to a to high workload.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- biorefinery, it a course with great potential but it cant be this focused on wood » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Organizational Project Management» (Yes (1 to 2))
- It seems like the courses are pretty okay but there is no clear aim at what the food track aims at, now i feel it is for reseacher and people that want to work in industry. Would be nice if there could be distinguised into a more preparative industrial courses. Or infromation about courses that could be good to take outside the track to fulfill these. Like "reglerteknik", separation techniques, LEAN» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Design for social inclusion» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Algorithms for Machine Learning: the lectures are not good.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Modelling and Problem Solving for Engineering. Less water courses. In general, more alternative courses.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The course "antenna engineering" is good but might benefit from being just a little bit less research-oriented. In comparison with similar courses in other universities, the course leaves out some important "standard" concepts in favor of current research done at Chalmers.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Modelling and problem solving in engineering - or at least improve the course!
The traffic courses (teknisk samhällsplanering, urban traffic planning, road engineering) have too similar content! We do the same things in all of them with just some varying content.
The same with drinking water engineeringt - we already know everything from the bachelor (it is however a very intreseting subject but we would lika to learn it in a deeper way than in the bachelor)» (Yes (1 to 2))

- Marine Propulsion Systems needs to be divided in two classes. Interesting topics but too much information for one class!» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Human Factors» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The course water resources and environment. You learn things you already know from other courses, and it is also repeated in the other courses in the mp. I do not think that it is ok to be graded mostly depending on a group project where you are more than 6 persons in the group. Also the people attending the course have very different knowledge - for example some people did not know how to refer to sources when writing a report. It made it very hard to do the groupwork. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Theory of science» (Yes (1 to 2))

» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Maybe not heavily revised, but a little..
Finite Element Basic: The connection to the previous course Strukturmekanik (which was needed to attend MPSEB for V-students) could be explained more / made clearer in the beginning of the course. (The FEM-basics is also for the students attending Applied mechanics, but I don"t know what background they have when it comes to FEM)» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Revise financial management and accounting, asap, during my bach. I studied two ec. courses that were much better structured and applied then this one» (Yes (1 to 2))
- eHealth. Please, remove guest lecturers.» (Yes (1 to 2))

- The needs mapping course didn"t gave me much at all» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Logic in Computer Science and Software Engineering Using Formal methods were really easy. Would be too easy even if they were on a bachelor"s level.
Machine Learning was very interesting, but also very difficult. I wouldn"t want to remove any content from the course, but it would be great if it was more accessible. I had difficulties keeping up with all the work, with my weak mathematical background from the bachelor"s level at Chalmers.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Global sustainability
Waste management» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Modeling and simulation..it was really, really difficult to follow the explanations in class.. the theacher (Paolo Falcone) most repeating sentence was "you should already know this".
Most of biomedical students found it hard, and we talked about it after the classes. It would be a good idea to revised the course so it is easier to catch the teacher explanations and programme speed and do more exercises to understand the theory.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Modelling and problem solving in civil engineering could be fitted into other courses whereas this course is mainly bits and pieces from few courses put into one. The whole structure of Modelling and problem solving in civil engineering is sometimes all over the place. This course was supposed to link various courses together but over all did not.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The course of Service Contract Management, that course is a little bit old fashion and not exactly give us what we expected. And the quality of the lectures have large extend to be improved. And for the course of Management of physical distribution, so many discussions with fuzzy answers. I would expect this one to be more practical with more calculation and how it has been done in real life. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Don´,t have research methodology as a mandatory course, it would be much more interesting to take another course if you already has taken similar courses. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Dynamical Systems is too heavy, and should not be mandatory. It would be nice to open up to more courses in like Machine learning and data mining, AI, etc.
The program focuses too much on classical complex systems from ages ago. » (Yes (1 to 2))

- Water resources and environment wasn"t well done. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Termpaper.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Road Engineering, Urban Traffic Planning» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I feel there"s unrealistic expectations from many examiners and tutors within the master thesis. The pressure is too high and people feel really bad during a long period of time. One main reason is that we"re expected to make a booklet/report, presentation AND a well thought exhibition and a public presentation. Comparing to MPARC who"s "only" being judged upon the exhibition and presentation. Some of the pressure is ofcourse our own responsibility but late schedules, unclear conditions, personal opinions and large consequenses if failing is definitly making bad worse.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The experimental course in the beginning of the MP should be removed or get a serious remake. It was way below Chalmers standard.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Methods of Interaction Analysis has an interesting and important topic but fails to really get the information across in a way that is accessible and close to practice. The material (slides, papers, lectures) is very bad in transfering the core knwledge that should be taken away. It should be simplified and to the point.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Marine Propulsion, revised
Hydrodynamics, revised
Wave Loads and Sea keeping Revised
» (Yes (1 to 2))

- Games and Learning» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Project development course, but it has already been revised» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The cumpolsory modelling course in the first study period. I donät know why that is included in the program at all, non the less why that is a compulsory course. » (Yes (1 to 2))

- Electrical Power Systems, Model and Planning» (Yes (1 to 2))
- HVAC» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Idea evaluation » (Yes (1 to 2))
- The exam in integrated prod dev. should not be a test in memorizing lists, it however had a good view on group work (only giving bonus poins. I don"t think group work should be graded in any course, instead raise the level for pass.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Design for Quality» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Advanced Software Architecture: Very theoretical. Most of the things we learned should not be considered advanced and is more like common knowledge. The project from this course was really bad. The exam was very easy.
Model-driven engineering: This subject is very narrow and is not used widely in the industry as far as I know. Is it necessary to have as a mandatory course? Would have been really nice for me to be able to pick something else.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The first nuclear chemistry course in study period 1.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Strategic Management (better organized) and Construction Governance» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Heat and moisture engineering should be revised considerably» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Modern Imaging and Spectroscopic methods.
Condensed Matter Physics» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Research methodology, unfortunatley the teacher was very bad at teaching. I am sure he know a lot about the subject and he is very nice, but he is a sleeping pill which resulted in that almost all of the class studied at home alone instead of going to the lessons. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- More advanced compiler course, PLT and Compiler Construction should be restructured in general. I think more could be achieved if there were a Compilers 1 and a Compilers 2.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The courses that needs to be heavily revised or removed, from worst to less worse.
1. "DAT146 Advanced topics in computer systems and networks"
This course was REALLY messy. No one really understood what we were to do in it, until it was some week until the final paper would be handed in. I think the purpose of the course is good, to learn to write. But its really bad to have a "first come, first served" on the topics, as some topics are generally much more fun than others. The general impression of the course as it was now, is that it was very bad 7.5hp spent for me. I didn"t learn anything, nor did anyone else I know. It was only frustrating to read this couese.
I would have prefered to read some other course than this one, so I think it either needs to be heavily revised, or simple removed.
2. "TDA297 Distributed systems, advanced course"
The main problem in this course is the teacher. He doesn"t teach in a very good way. It"s hard to understand what he talks about, even when reading up in advance.
3. "EDA387 Computer networks"
This course needs to be heavily revies. When I read it (in 2012) it felt like it was three courses in one, that really wasn"t that related to each other.
* The part Ali Sahleson had felt mostly like a refresh of what we read in the bachelor computer networks course. Nothing really new here.
* The network programming part. This was fun, but too much were given in the lab, so the difficulty were way to low on the labs.
* The self-methods part. I have no idea WHY this part was in the course at all. The subject doesn"t belong to the course, the book suggested for this was hard to read and practically impossible to follow, and worst of all, Elad just couldn"t teach this subject at all. This whole part was just very fuzzy and I didn"t understand much. Even though this, I nailed some of the self-methods questions on the exam. That"s just weird.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Financial Management (to be revised), Organizational Management (to be revised)» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Space science and techniques should be semi compulsive and not compulsive» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Software architecture» (Yes (1 to 2))

- urban and architectural design. the professors can decide weather to work with their swedish students or go to brazil...» (Yes (1 to 2))
- TBE during the fall really missed its purpose since it failed to test us of relevant knowledge and since it took up so little time for being a 15 hp course (this is probably the fault of the other two courses during the same time taking too much time for being 7,5 hp courses). 50% of the points in the TBE course came from the last assignment which was a 4 page long home assignment where you got very broadly defined questions in combination with absolutely no room for interpretation or space to explain your thoughts. Much of the course points on the other assignments were given out for ability to reflect on learnings during the fall - a skill that isn"t taught or even discussed during the course and a skill that many engineers have practiced during 3 years to forget in order to write academic papers. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Customer relationship management» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Customer Relationshps» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Need for revision: Methods of Interaction Analysis, Human-Centered Design» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Life Cycle Assessment - katastrofal kurs med ett hopkok av lärare som ibland pratar bristfälligengelska, använder samma terminologi men för olika saker och sedan har frågor på tentan där huvudrubrikerna är lärarens namn som har just gjort frågorna till den delen av tentan. DÅ gäller det att komma ihåg vilken lärare som använder sig av vilken terminologi och för vad annars blir det fel. Bara det att de har sina namn som skiljeväggar mellan tentans olika delar är ju allarmerande.
Bortsett från det är det i bland stora delar av text som rent av skulle memoreras. De verkar desutom rätta lite som de själv vill. vi var ett gängen som varat samma sak på ett antal uppgifter men bara häldften av oss fick rätt. Underligt. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- The course in experimental physics. For many people attending the program who plan to specialize in theory or numerical computation, an additional course in experimental physics seems like no more than a time consuming burden, time that could have been much better spent elsewhere, especially considering that everyone from the bachelor program in engineering physics have already taken two more courses in experimental physics and those should be sufficient for people who are not planning to go into an experimental area. » (Yes (1 to 2))

- Numerical linear algebra was rather close to a disaster.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Let Olaf take care of both Distributed courses.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- For my part the Course in ODE and mathematical modeling (which is mandatory) seems unnescessary for the profile track ive chosen (computations) and I dont think it adds so much that i couldnot have chosen another course. Same thing probably goes for the PDE course. I understand why they are there, i just don"t think they need to be mandatory.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Environmental aspects on logistic and transportation. Repeating previous knowledge.» (Yes (1 to 2))

- EME102 active microwave circuits
The project for this course should have a more clear instruction on how to use ads and on what we are supposed to do, i.e. specify the goal more clearly. The job for the TA on the tutorial should also be defined more clearly. The solution for the tutorial problems should be written no matter by hand or printed and uploaded to Pingpong so that everyone can see it. Furthermore the textbook should be changed. I would suggest Microwave Transistor Amplifiers: Analysis and Design (2nd Edition)by Gonzalez. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- As mentioned above sustainable futures, modelling and planning and sustainable development are too similar» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Condensed Matter Physics should continue more from what we learned in Solid state physics in the Bachelor Program, Non-equilibrium should also communicate better with other courses.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The Image courses are not to useful for someone that does not want to work with imaging. Biomedical instrumentation was a quite bad course. The hand ins were really unstructured and involved a lot of guessing. It just didn"t seem like a very good course in general.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- ENM045 Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems engineering - I think a increadibly useful course when it would have had a red thread. Clear goals of what to learn and calculation excercises. The teacher also take the critic personally, and didn"t want to adapt to requests. The co-teacher was very difficult to hear. IT SHOULD BE HEAVILY REVISED.» (Yes (1 to 2))

- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems engineering is a horrible course.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Building materials
Heat and moisture» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I would like Experimental Physics: Spectroscopic Methods to be improved upon. The course is necessary and very important for physicists in general (it is even strange that the Applied Physics program does not have this in the program, as it should even be compulsory there!). However, the course this year suffered from major administrative issues and should be looked over. It might be better for the course if it gets a more engaged examiner.» (Yes (1 to 2))

- Geotechnics. There should be more structure in the course. The learining outcomes should be clear and used in the teaching. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Mechatronics was advertised differently to what it actually was (it was very control engineering-based vs. the holistic view of mechatronical systems, which I thought I had signed up for)» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The course "Physics of reactors" should be heavily revised, it is far too theoretical and mathematical.
The course "Nuclear chemistry" is really great, but the workload does not match the credits given for it, the double would be more accurate. Also, the examination of the course needs to be revised, it does not asses the learning from the course, this is shown by the large extent of highly motivated students still failing it. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- The CFD for engineers should be named CFD for chemical engineers. There is nothing in the description of the course that says that it will only be focusing on simulation of chemical reaction. The big project in the course was not suppose to focus on explaining the CFD part of the project, you should focus on explaining what Selective catalytic rector is.» (Yes (1 to 2))

- Operations Strategy can be removed
- Not very engaging material and lectures
- Lack of prerequisite knowledge about Operations management
Better to have a real strategy course and have a more thorough Operations management course.
Introduction to Quality and Operations management should be removed.
- Mostly repetition for I-students
- Could be 7,5hp
- Low quality case work given short time and new students that might be unfamiliar with case work
- It is an easy course and sets the bar too low, it would be better to have a challenging first course
The Six Sigma course is perceived as unstructured, the subject is a good fit with the Quality and Operations Management master though so it should remain.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Many courses go through the same things as both studied on the bachelor courses and on other MP courses.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Structural dynamics shouldn"t be mandatory. Project in applied mechanics and multiphase flow have generous room för improvement. » (Yes (3 to 4))
- Course:
TDA297 Distributed systems, advanced course
Needs to be revised. Curriculum is good and appropriate for MP, but the teaching and implementation is bad.
Course:
DAT146 Advanced topics in computer systems and networks
Needs to be revised. Curriculum is good and appropriate for MP, but it was implemented badly. Course web page and information about the course with dead lines and tasks being very messy and hard to understand.
Course:
EDA387 Computer networks
Had some elements (Self methods) which should be removed as they are not that related to computer networks.
» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Some courses, such as SEFM, or Models of computation, could go deeper into the theory. Monads could be explained completely in Introduction to Functional Programming, and start in AFP directly with Monad Transformers.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Computer Networks.
Advanced course in Distributed Systems.
» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Design management and project management. Some others need to have higher expectations on the students. As it is now even those that do not do anything easily could pass an examination, since the teacher do not seem to care about the reputation of chalmers, they just want to minimize their own workload. They should be able to notice if there is one member in a group work that does not contributes to the group. » (Yes (3 to 4))
- Not revising of the courses per se, but... All courses I want to take seem to be held in the fall term only! I had a hard time finding interesting courses for study periods 3 and 4, while for 1 and 2 I found too many.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Första halvårets kurser uppfyllde inte mina förväntningar. Engineering geology var den enda kursen som höll måttet. Drinking water var tydligen helt okej sa de som gillar vattenkurser men problemsolving var den sämsta kurs jag läst. ingen struktur. Lektionerna handlade mer om att skryta om doktorsavhandlingar än om att lära ut något vettigt. Hoppas att det går att göra något åt detta. Efter det halvåret så kan man ju välja kurser själv så då får man välja 1 kurs nästan varje läsperiod som är utanför programmet och till och med på andra skolor för att man ska få ihop 2 vettiga kurser samma läsperiod.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Product development, operations management and research methodology could be revised and more integrated. » (Yes (3 to 4))
- Revised: Urban traffic planning, geotechnics
Removed or have anotehr option: All water courses, the modelling course» (Yes (3 to 4))
- All courses except FEM in the first half year.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Urban metabolism, Risk assessment and decision support, Urban traffic planing » (Yes (3 to 4))
- Energy related materials (Quizzes are too demanding), Condensed matter physics (Lecturer is difficult to understand), Physics of electromagnetic materials (Oral exams should be taken with open books and notes), Soft matter physics (Grading should not be limited to final written exams and few problems - which count almost nothing to the total grade) » (Yes (3 to 4))
- Some of the elective courses could be revised such as Management of Physical Distribution Systems. » (Yes (3 to 4))
- Visual Brand Identity
IDE project
» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Advanced form design 1 and 2, ergonomics design for all» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Thera are a lot of mandatory corses that shuld be specific to a trac within the master. My strongest exampel is eHealth. If you are not going to work with IT it is a complete and boring waste of time.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- My program is called wireless, photonics and space engineering which is kind of scattered than other courses. I hope it can be more focused in a specific area instead.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- I think it is because all these courses are either new or recently revised:
- Ergonomics, Design for all
- Advanced form design 1
- Advanced form design 2
These courses need better structure, goal for outcomes and clearer guidance from the teachers. Putting the responsibility of planning and executing on the students is fine, great in fact, but the abstract nature of these courses makes it very confusing and difficult. Many times it felt like the course plan and the exercises were planned only one day ahead. Short notices, bad planning, uncontinuous communication etcetera affects the quality of the courses. Much much room for improvement! » (Yes (3 to 4))
- Freight transport system, physical distribution... and environmental aspects... could all be merged into one. The same goes for Purchasing... and Customer relationship.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Artificial Neural Networks(Made optional + revised), Computational Biology A(Made optional + revised), Dynamical Systems(Revised), Information Theory for CAS (Revised)» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems engineering (HVAC)
Environmental aspects of transport
Life cycle assessment» (Yes (3 to 4))
- All building technology courses. The master program
Me should be for structural engineering» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Graphical Interfaces, Tangible Interaction, HCD, Methods of Interaction Analysis, » (Yes (3 to 4))
- FEM basics - make it not so much dependent on Matlab so people without knowledge in Matlab can follow it. The same applies for FEM structures and Introduction to sound and vibration and the rest of the courses which are to high extend based on Matlab.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Research methods» (Yes (3 to 4))
- modeling and simulations, applied signal processing, image analysis, e-health these courses should not be mandatory!» (Yes (3 to 4))
- The first half year, a.k.a the Business Creation Lab courses, needs to be heavily revised to maintain the quality one should expect from an leading education within entrepreneurship. It is clearly outdated, coming from a time of business plans and intellectual property protection strategies, and seems to have clearly missed that the internet and software age is here - and has totally changed the landscape of entrepreneurship.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- For passing the course should be 40%
Model Driven Engineering ---> Exams are not so Easy, its full of practical oriented there should be theoretical also...
Requirement Engineering ---> Theory part is so tough, in this part he should ask some simple questions
Empirical Software Engineering ----> Exams are not so Easy, questions are asking outside of the course books and materials» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Surface engineering. The project is good the rest is shitty. And the exam is a joke exactly the same every year» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Knowledge and learning in POs - remove
MOCI - revise
strategic management - revise big time
construction governance - remove» (Yes (3 to 4))
- MDE
Advance Arc
Agile
Software Evolution
Project management and quality
» (Yes more than 5)
- MDE, ASA, PMQ, SEP, SPL, MBT
RE (Robert Feldt), ESE (Richard Torkar) and ADP (Morgan Ericsson) were the best courses I took that were given by SE. Unfortunately, I have heard that at least 2/3 courses have lost the repsonsible since I took it. I do not know how the new responsibles are but the responsible then showed sincere interest and care in creating a good course for future students.» (Yes more than 5)
- Modern Imageing, Condensed Matter Physics, Sufrace and Nanophysics, Non-equilibrium processes and not so heavily: Computational Materials Physics and Electrodynamics.» (Yes more than 5)
- It seems that some courses always trying to re-do the same thing as some other courses. They are not all the same but their goals are almost same with each other, and that"s a little bit annoying.» (Yes more than 5)
- Remove or revisit the course Condensed matter physics (FKA091), it adds no knowledge above the course in the bachelor program (FFY011, which was good). Instead it delivers a poorly executed course that leaves you more irritated than enlighted. The lectures are crap, with bad notations, poor motivations and no red line througout the course. The courselitterature is a sad compilation of bla bla bla, with some occasional formulas. (remove Aschcroft/Mermin!)
The course Modern imaging, spectroscopy and diffraction techniques (TIF030), is also a waste of time that could have been shrinked down to like 3 credits with the same amount of content.
The course Surface and nanophysics (TIF120), is just plain bad with poorly coordinated lectures and lecturer that rather results in a lack of inspiration. REMOVE!
Normally this wouldn"t be a problem since you could just avoid them. The problem is that they are semi compulsory which is DISSAPOINTING since they should give a better representation of the programme.
Lastly, Superconductivity and low-temperature physics should have a little overhaul so it doesn"t abuse the physics wioth crappy notation and poor motivations when it is derived.
I lack experience of the following courses but I believe they are rather bad: Sport Technology (TIF270), Nanotechnology for sustainable energy (TIF165).
» (Yes more than 5)
- Modern Imaging: Om man har läst Teknisk Fysik så har man redan talat om elektronmikroskop i Fasta tillståndets fysik. Vad som tog en halv kurs att förklara här lyckades man göra i Fastan på mycket kortare tid. Den första halvan av kursen behandlade optiska mikroskop, vilket inte heller var något nytt.
Condensed Matter Physics: Föreläsningarna gav absolut ingenting. Kursen bestod nästan uteslutande av härledningar av ekvationer (ofta slarviga och felaktiga) men gav ingen fysikalisk intuition eller förståelse. Kursen avslutades med en mycket typad tenta där samtliga frågor återanvänds.
Superconductivity: Kursen misshandlade all form av fysikalisk notation och konsistens. Ge mig en kvantfysikalisk tolkning med rigorös notation.
Surface- and nanophysics: Konceptet med gästföreläsare på varenda föreläsning gör att det saknas en röd tråd. Dessutom blir det mycket repetition för oss som läst Teknisk Fysik.
Non-equilibrium processes: Kursens första halva behandlar främst härledningar av ekvationer men ger ingen fysikalisk förståelse. Efter halva kursen väljer man mellan två inriktningar. Det är ännu för tidigt för att jag ska kunna bedömma denna.» (Yes more than 5)
- HVAC, Nanotechnology, Sustainable energy Futures, Technical Change and environment, sustainable development
too much talking about the same topics.» (Yes more than 5)
- Sustainable power production and transportation» (Yes more than 5)
- System Biology» (Yes more than 5)
- This only includes the courses I took.» (No)
- But it would be good if more courses were elective» (No)
- But change order. Research design and methods should be in the bachelor"s program som we can apply these methods and learn different methods in different courses during the 5 years» (No)
- No, but you should remove the "Software Engineering" master program *entirely*» (No)
- some courses are supported by the masters aim but are, depending on background, less available if lacking prerequisites» (No)
- I"ve thought about this since I started working on my Master"s Thesis. I feel really confident about what I"ve learned but the hardest part is putting it all into practice. One thing I feel like I would have wanted was to have more examples of where the knowledge could be used in practice in the life science field. Especially the statistics course taken in year 2. I now feel like that was the worst taught course but also a field that"s extremely important when doing any experiment at all really. More information on where and how to apply statistics in life science work would have been great!» (No)
- » (No)
- No comments» (No)
- No, keep up with continuous improvements.» (No)
- None of the compulsory courses have been irrelevant, but some electives should be heavily revised.» (No)
- The course Graphical Interfaces (TDA492) in 2012 was awful but they have fixed that now which is good!» (No)
- it"s almost ok.» (No)
- I think that my courses have been very good, but I also have avoided the courses that I think I wouldn"t like, so I can"t say that is valid for all courses within the programme» (No)

- They behave unprofessionally» (Not at all)
- Student councillor (in particular) and Programme director (to a certain extent) were able to give suggestions for elective courses. I never asked for what courses I should choose but simply inspiration for things to take - and then an answer "That"s up to you" seems arrogant and disinterested.» (Not at all)

Studentcentrum saknar mitt förtroende.» (Not at all)
- Patrik Hellman does not answer e-mails, which is very frustrating. » (Not at all)
- I have had rather few contacts with the student administators, but it is clear that Director of studies is rather defending corses and the program than lisening to students critecism. This most be strongley imparing for the development.» (Not at all)
- It is almost impressive how little works. It is always really messy and nobody knows how to handle things» (Not so satisfied)
- Some people are very helpful and try to understand students with different needs and questions as non local. Some are not» (Not so satisfied)
- People at the desk (Chalmers library) doesn´,t have a service approach and sometimes it feels like they are doing us a favor instead of their actual job.» (Not so satisfied)
- The student centre lack clear anwers to questions regarding what examine one can get if taken other master programs, which courses we can take.» (Not so satisfied)

we met him only once the first day in Chalmers
he was not very helpful when asked advice for the choice of courses or the thesis» (Neither/Nor)

- General thesis follow-up for all thesis students, and clearer process of thesis start-up, how to find examiner, etc. » (Neither/Nor)
- It function rather well.» (Neither/Nor)
- There is clear communication issues between students and faculty. Low transparancy, little room for feedback and student input - and a general attitude of "you should be glad we took you in".» (Neither/Nor)
- Spent first year on exchange. I understand it is my own responsibility to organize the exchange. I got little help in organizing, I had a hard time and failed courses.
A big reason for this is my own lack of insight in the level of the course as well as course content. I can"t blame anyone in the administration, but the fact remain that I did not feel very supported during the preparation. » (Neither/Nor)
- It is not accepable that after one year the usage of classrooms that are to crowded still are booked -repeatedly» (Neither/Nor)
- Patrik Hellman could be friendlier in his approach.» (Neither/Nor)
- Easier workflow to get registred at a Master Thesis. To slow and a lot of students wont be able to graduate this summer due to late registrations and supervisors changing their minds. » (Satisfied)
- Patrik is not very nice to talk to in many cases but he does what he have to do to not get yelled at. » (Satisfied)
- Auto registration during the first period, as is done in all years for the bachelor, would be helpful. Many did not realize it had to be done manually.» (Satisfied)
- A little more friendly attention and information to students that do not know how Chalmers work.» (Satisfied)
- I felt the most inconvenient thing for student is that it is always not enough to get a visa extension for international student just based on the document from student center. It should be enough to get a certificated paper from student center to prove that the study not finnished yet then it is enough. » (Satisfied)
- explain more clearly the graduation procedure/iter» (Satisfied)
- It is very lacking information all the time. Why don"t you use pingpong more continuosly and create a connection to the MP-students there? Add some notes every now and then and remind of dates for example. Add other information (not only send to our mail if there is a invitation to a company for example).
För example give clear informtaion when presenteation of the thesis work is getting closer: we would need to know when latest date is, how to decide date, how to book room and what room etc.» (Satisfied)
- But the way you have to go to a hatch to look at your already done exams is just stupid. Why don"t just every teacher take one hour when you can visit them and review your exam if you have any questions? Worked just fine in the bachelor.» (Satisfied)
- No comments» (Satisfied)
- Have had no contact, cant evaluate.» (Satisfied)
- I think that the master program administration is good, even though it can always be better. For exmple I would like to have information sessions about courses (perhaps 2 times a year) (note that may be possible that there have been such a session, but I did not notice it, because I changed to this program recently)» (Satisfied)
- The previous programme coordinator (Gabriele Ferretti) was very good, I hope the new one will be equally good.
About the Student centre:
Have not hade much contact with the Student centre except when it comes to registering courses. This could be handled more efficiently, mostly for their sake, if all courses (even outside the program) are selectable (For students at the Advanced level at least). » (Satisfied)
- I"ve never had a problem and all my communication with Agneta Nilsson has been nothing but excellent! » (Satisfied)
- Never needed the center at all, can"t grade them.» (Satisfied)
- What I would like to see from the administration is promoting some kind of social gatherings, I know for example that other MPs give the student a budget to spend on social life between the students. I"m lucky to be a part of chalmers before my MP studies, but I guess the exchange student are having a harder time to find new friends etc» (Satisfied)
- I think active student counseling should actively be offered during the MP and perhaps the last year of bachelor. People suffer of high stress and face doubt, regret and all kinds of emotions as the end of the study time approaches. There is counseling available but hardly everyone that perhaps should take the opportunity do. Often because of the very same reason they should.» (Satisfied)
- Previous coordinator (Johan) was really active and helpful by sending emails in different area specially thesis and work opportunity but new coordinator (håkan)doesnt send any email ,i think in whole last year 2,3times!» (Satisfied)
- You get an answer to your emails almost within the next day, thats very good. Good support, friendly persons.» (Very satisfied)
- More presence among the students, informative mails, monthly newsletter etc
That would be nice.» (Very satisfied)
- I continued to use Lilian Sandström from my B.Sc.-program because she is the best!» (Very satisfied)
- All the students should be more advised regarding which courses allow a certain specialization. » (Very satisfied)
- The program could be a bit less controlled. A bit more freedome of what courses that the student can choose would be good(although most courses keep a hght quality)» (Very satisfied)
- Great help from the student centre!» (Very satisfied)
- Replace Elad Michael Schiller» (Very satisfied)
- Eva Sponås is really good at what she is doing!» (Very satisfied)

Genomsnitt: 4.12 - I am almost totally not satisfy Chalmers. Lectures are useless, the labs has not so much relation to lectures and exams. I always have to study by myself. But the professors are good when I have questions, just the lectures are too useless. » (No)
- To low level at automitive systems. Safety and aerodynamics» (No)
- The goal of the master program is not properly good for me.» (No)
- Could have chosen the interesting courses on my programme while attending a more challanging one. » (No)
- I would have chosen MPALG instead as i could have read the good courses in this program anyway and would not have had to take computer networks and advance topics in computer systems and networks. These courses were really boring and not well organized.
And most importantly I would not have had anything to do with the master program coordinator Elad Schiller that had the two bad courses. He also make up new requirements to accept master thesis proposals all the time so it takes much work and several months for me and most of my classmates to get their proposals accepted.» (No)
- Too much focus on scientific reports and research about stuff that SE researchers write articles about without it having any significance in the industry.» (No)
- The programme does not improve my knowledge. I would have chosen construction instead.» (No)
- it is a to wide master, you don get specialized in one subect and it is very hard to complement with courses from other programmes. It is to little about city planning and to much about water.» (No)
- Would take the two first courses which were awesome! Stochastic Optimization Algorithm and Neural Networks. Simulation of complex systems was OK. The rest of the mandatory courses were completly irrelevant, at least for me. » (No)
- Not learned enough!» (No)
- I think the reading part is a bit too much, and there could be more calculations introduced. Also there is no/little filter on the program, so it takes in a lot of people that had it as a second choose, and are maybe not that interested in it. » (No)
- I think the focus of the program is not clear, there are so many different courses with no real direction. And it is not much of a challenge after a bachelor in physics. » (No)
- Needs to be more technical, very difficult to get job, one year after examination i am still unemployed, can"t get job as a "lab rat" which I am very overqualified for.The Biotechnology program should seriously be considerd to be removed, it doesn"t belong at a technical university and it doesn"t lead to a qualified job for many students.» (No)
- Mostly because I realized I don"t want to enter academic physics. I still believe that if I wanted to go into academia, this program would have been an excellent choice.» (No)
- It does not fit someone from Electrical engineering that want a more technical program that will deepen their skills. There are too many courses from too many different fields.» (No)
- I would prefer choosing another master programme in Chalmers as it matches my interests more.
Also considering the flexibility in choosing courses from other master programmes,I would pick only few courses from the current programme that I am pursuing now.» (No)
- Lack of scientific reasoning.» (No)
- I would want something more challenging.» (Probably not)
- Lärare och framförallt handledare visar lite intresse för att utbilda. Det i nästan alla kurser är läraren ny så labbarna matchar inte undervisningen.» (Probably not)
- In retrospect, the program contains the word "Astronomy" in the name. I looked more on the program content when choosing, but when applying for a job it"s the first thing a potential employer will see. I did not take any course on astronomy. And what company seriously wants to hire an astronomer? » (Probably not)
- Software Engineering does not have content to create courses for a master programme. I would have chosen a CS master and then added courses from SE as elective courses.» (Probably not)
- This programme is a lightened version on MPSYS. Some of the courses added are very good, some are very questionable as to how meaningful they are in a masters programme. » (Probably not)
- Considering the courses I want take, it might have been better to choose another programme.» (Probably not)
- Its too theoretical, needs to have more hands on projects to learn» (Probably not)
- Although there are no better alternatives at the moment since "Physics and Astronomy" focuses too much on astrophysics and/or subatomic physics. My ideal would be to study "Physics and Astronomy" but swap the astro/subatomic courses to solid state courses.» (Probably not)
- I am not so satisfied. The program is within the subjects I am very interested in, but I would like to develop my engineering skills much more. I would like to learn to create models of systems on my own, which I do not think that we are taught. The program does not make use of my very strong analytical skills at all. » (Probably not)
- The semi-compulsory courses aren"t that good, only computational physics and soft matter physics is good. » (Probably not)
- I had done most of the courses with equal depth in my Bachelors. I was hoping to get a more in-depth education with a masters degree.» (Probably not)
- Not as many options to tailor the programme as stated by the information on beforehand. Course selection is very limited. Imaging courses become compulsory for anyone without tissue engineering interests. Image analysis should not be compulsory for everyone just because the programme administration thinks "its a good course"- we should be able to truly the track we want. It is strange to me that image analysis is in the signals and controls track.» (Probably not)
- Would like to have more finance and strategy so i would probably choose MEI (even though I am not totally updated about its contents)» (Probably not)
- I would probably go to a more industrial aimed master, MPISC instead» (Probably not)
- I would probable have chosen Architecture and urban design program or design for sustainable development because I"m interested in traffic and urban design. Than I would have chosen some courses from my current program such as Urban Traffic Planning, Road Engineering, Urban Metabolism and GIS. I don"t think all the water courses and geo courses will help me in my job carrier in the future.» (Probably not)
- I would choose something more creative like Product development or Enterpreneurship master program.» (Probably not)
- The goal is rather ambigious, the structure and the courses are in a mass.» (Probably not)
- Som jag tidigare nämnt så upplever jag inte att Applied Physics ger en bra fysikutbildning. Beräkningskurserna verkar hålla en hög kvalitet men materialspåret ger ingen större utökad fysikkunskap om man tidigare läst Teknisk Fysik.» (Probably not)
- Because it lacks core courses , as aforementioned and it needs better organization and opportunities too choose tracks within the program as for example KTH University and many other.» (Probably not)
- The SCM course thought in Chalmers doesn"t have the statistical and financial perspective.» (Probably not)
- It was hard for me!» (Probably not)
- Because I expected more open attitudes toward international students.» (Probably not)
- Not as the program is currently organized. The program fails to teach the students about Complex Adaptive Systems, fails to connect the courses to CAS and fails to connect the courses together. Moreover, the courses (Artificial Neural Network, Computational Biology and Dynamical Systems) have a high disconnect between teaching, examination and learning goals.» (Probably not)
- Too heavy workload and psychological stress» (Probably not)
- Would have studied a more interdisciplinary master program. I have had lots of anxiety» (Probably not)
- Want more technical challenges» (Probably not)
- Havent learned so much new.» (Probably not)
- The content is to general and lack real "engineering challenges". I feel as if a lot of the competence from my Bachelor is being wasted and not deepened.» (Probably not)
- Mostly because I was not quite sure what subjects I really wanted to study. MPAPP is very flexible and it"s great if you know kind of where you want to go. For me, it would have been better to have a clearer path from the start. I chose MPAPP as "safety" I guess. Since I in some sense knew what to expect. Choosing a different MP not in the physics department seemed insecure, not knowing if I"d be satisfied with the educational level.» (Probably not)
- The amount of competence gained from the MP is too low.» (Probably not)
- Increased interest in computations» (I would consider it)
- There is no better program, but it is really poorly related to industy, hard to explain to others what I do and doesn"t fit well with the jobs that are avaiable.» (I would consider it)
- The overall approach is a lot more theoretical than I thought when I applied.» (I would consider it)
- I might as well just not done it and started working after Lindholmen.» (I would consider it)
- I got more interesed in electrical engineering, during the studies» (I would consider it)
- In retrospect the CSALL programme may have been more interesting.» (I would consider it)
- -» (I would consider it)
- It contains courses I want to take, but I could take them even if I choose another program.» (I would consider it)
- I liked the variety of smart people that this program attracts, which gives opportunities for personal growth. Also, the teachers are good researchers who *know what they"re talking about*. However, if the decision where only about the program contents themselves, I would have gone for a more demanding program.
Also, there are many research talks every week that students can attend, given by people from all over Europe and beyond. I don"t know if it"s the same at other universities, but it was a big plus anyway. Kudos to John Hughes for making many of them possible.» (I would consider it)
- So little help from the Student centre.» (I would consider it)
- I has perhaps not been challenging enough.» (I would consider it)
- jag skulle oxå fundera över att läsa konstruktion med valda kurser mot geo.» (I would consider it)
- There are too many students in this master programme which means that less attention is given to each individual student and that lowers the quality of the programme. Also, no teacher is directly responsible for the individual student, nobody monitors individual progress or interests. In my opinion problem is lack of proper mentoring.» (I would consider it)
- Since its the only one in gothenburg and i dont want to move...» (I would consider it)
- It was not clear before starting that it would be so theoretical and so much maths. » (I would consider it)
- I decided to take this program for it"s good career opportunities, but ever since I have arrived I feel like the education may not be a sure-deal of getting a job afterwards. Of course that remains to be seen but my general sentiment right now is that the education alone does not prepare me for the business.» (I would consider it)
- Because especially the Software architecture and the agile development process have been executed so poorly.» (I would consider it)
- Is does not feel like a structured programme, if you would like to focus on water engineering, it is not enough courses. And if you would like to get a better knowledge in the geotechincal field, there is also not enough courses. » (I would consider it)
- Another program might have suited me better (engineering mathematics).» (I would consider it)
- It feels too diverse without a real focus. Maybe partly because of the biotechnical track that is there. Not that it is unimportant, but should maybe be weaved in better.» (I would consider it)
- I am torn between interaction design and technologies and industrial design engineering.» (I would consider it)
- The program is not what I originally expected.» (I would consider it)
- I would probaly choose it but I would have choosen the computational track and add som courses from Physics and astronomy that actually teaches you something. The material track has made a REALLY BAD impression on me, but teh computational track has left a VERY GOOD impression.
The dream track is to combine the good physics teachings from fundamental physics and the good computational teachings from applied.» (I would consider it)
- With the knowledge I have at the moment I would rather choose Industrial Ecology. » (I would consider it)
- I might choose differently because I know of many more master programs now. » (I would consider it)
- I have to spend time on corses that are bad and not in the area I want to focus on.» (I would consider it)
- A bit too much theory that could be considered common knowledge and "fluffy".» (I would consider it)
- The same reason as I mentioned before. It is decentralized. Yes indeed I learned more knowledge in different area but it could be more powerful if it is just concentrated in one area.» (I would consider it)
- I think I would be better suited in MPPEN than MPSYS» (I would consider it)
- No comments» (I would consider it)
- No technical courses.» (I would consider it)
- Too much stress.» (I would consider it)
- Because of job opportunities.» (I would consider it)
- I feel the program name too big for content » (I would consider it)
- Maybe I would choose MPWPS if given another chance since it matches my research field better. But MPCOM is OK.» (I would consider it)
- I would probably chose DCPM, as I later learned that it gives the opportunity to also get a "civilingenjörs examen"» (I would consider it)
- New rules have been set for the thesis, for instance, that are putting more stress on some students and might be presented as a threat such as the mid-presentation during the thesis work. It is stated that the thesis might be terminated if the examiner is not satisfied. It is threatening because students work hard during both halves of the project and to be threatened by wasting the time and energy invested is not preferable. If you want to improve the quality of programme, my suggestion is to make sure that more teachers are pedagogical and structured and give the necessary support to their students. During the bachelor programme at Chalmers, teachers were very committed and more supportive than some of the teachers of the Master"s programme. » (I would consider it)
- It is not "ackrediterat" to civilingenjör. This has to be changed to make the program more attractive. Absolutely vital. » (I would consider it)
- Very few possibilities to choose courses to be able to specialise in a specific area.
» (I would consider it)
- I would choose it again because I dont think that there is any better option at chalmers. But if possible I might have looked at other schools for the master program - for example KTH. Bachelor program (Arkitektur & Teknik) was great but the master program has had a much lower level. » (I would consider it)
- I have recently developed interests in other field so i maybe would have chose another MP» (I would consider it)
- To many problems with the programme director, but the programme itself is very nice» (I would consider it)
- It is a good master program and with the possibility to choose courses from other programs I would consider choosing this master. » (I would consider it)
- The second year courses and the thesis organization were bad, which demotivates people. The program director was not very collaborative when comes to helping students with administrative problems, like paper writings and thesis proposals. He eventually helps but it takes immense amount of time and frustration.» (I would consider it)
- The program itself is good enough, however, the academic stuff has plenty of room for improvement, thus I am not absolutely sure that I"d choose it again.» (I would consider it)
- No grading on projects, 100 % exams, much focus on the economical part. I would like to have more mechanical aimed courses.» (I would consider it)
- Jag känner faktiskt inte att jag lärt mig så mycket, vilket känns tråkigt. Detta till stor del mitt eget fel, men med högre krav skulle min inlärning antagligen bli bättre. Något annat masterprogram känns dock inte aktuellt. » (I would consider it)
- I would, but I would redo some choices regarding courses» (Yes - probably)
- It"s a broad and good program, the only hesitation would be if I should have choosen something more specialized (into computational, optics or experimental instead of computational & material physics). But I have learned everything I need as a stable ground for learning more.» (Yes - probably)
- Might have chosen the computational line in Applied Physics instead.» (Yes - probably)
- It is the specialization that I want and is the best option at Chalmers» (Yes - probably)
- Its is about the things I want to work with in the future.» (Yes - probably)
- I would choose another programme because my interest may changed.» (Yes - probably)
- The courses have relly interesting content, this is what I want to learn about and it is taught at a good pace and with a good depth. Unfortunately, not all laboratory and home exercises are suitable for optimal learning outcomes. I also believe that the lack of welcome activities to the MP has caused a forced atmosphere in the class, and a difficulty to work together and learn from eachother, since it feels awkward not to have said hello in the first weeks.» (Yes - probably)
- It"s challenging» (Yes - probably)
- It is fun.» (Yes - probably)
- The quality of the courses is not as good as it should, but the subject is right for me.» (Yes - probably)
- It"s a good masters programme.» (Yes - probably)
- Sonce this is the most relevant MP to my interests.» (Yes - probably)
- The programme has definitely pointed out which direction my life path will be.» (Yes - probably)
- I liked the compositon of the mandatory courses and then still beeing able to chose very freely some other courses. » (Yes - probably)
- It contained a lot of new and interesting things as I expected. Though, I thought it would make things clearer for me what I want to do in the future but now it"s rather the opposite. It feels like it will take a couple of years until I"ll be able to utilize what I learned in real life.
I don"t know what other programs I would be interested in though.» (Yes - probably)
- I felt that this was the right programme to go for due to my interests in tissue engineering and stem cell research. The TE track in the Biotechnology master was really good, informative and interesting. » (Yes - probably)
- The programme was more creative aimed than what I expected, which helped broaden my horizon but also had lacks of technical courses» (Yes - probably)
- I might have choosen different elective courses. » (Yes - probably)
- elective courses» (Yes - probably)
- I do not think that there are enough courses to chose between. » (Yes - probably)
- I am very satisfied with the courses. I find most of them very interesting, and comparing courses from other programs (the list of courses) I still prefer the program I chose.» (Yes - probably)
- Best thing that has happened me» (Yes - probably)
- I feel that it might have been easier to gain a job in software and interaction design, and it"s hard to push that expertise from the industrial design engineer view.» (Yes - probably)
- This is the degree I want» (Yes - probably)
- Although I"m enjoying the programme a lot, there is always that small doubt if the focus of the programme is the one I was looking for.» (Yes - probably)
- There might be alternatives that would give me better chance to develop design skills and are less technical. But it is still a good choice.» (Yes - probably)
- A would like to be able to customize it more, there are very few infrastructure-related courses available.» (Yes - probably)
- While the course content was not as detailed and challenging as during my Bachelor studies, the programme (and Chalmers in general) provided excellent opportunities to get in touch with the teachers and be involved in the research. Moreover, the flat hierarchies between teachers and students made for a very enjoyable study climate.» (Yes - probably)
- Interesting and different from the more technical bachelor. Gave good contrast and went into areas which I thought was missing from the bachelor» (Yes - probably)
- I would have to choose this program since there are no other with similar content (infrastructure and environment)» (Yes - probably)
- I will choose it but not to study all the courses, probably I might exchange for a semester or take more courses from IPM. » (Yes - probably)
- I have understood that i am more interested in management and would therefore probably have choosen a master down in Vasa (I). » (Yes - probably)
- The students in my year created an excellent group.» (Yes - probably)
- I"m doing an interesting thesis which I"m somewhat happy with, maybe with another MP i would have an even better opportunity, but I wouldnt know that now would I?» (Yes - probably)
- It has been good and fun, however it is a bit difficult to explain to companies what we have staudied and why we are needed. Something that is important when looking for a job. Many companies does not realise the importance of our knowledge. » (Yes - probably)
- Only reason why I might not do it is because some of the courses had a really low level.» (Yes - probably)
- A lot less calculations than anticipated. A lot of repetitive information.» (Yes - probably)
- because of the location in Gothenburg and some techers» (Yes - probably)
- Det enda programmet som kan ta mig dit jag vill i mitt yrkesliv förutom industrial design engineering men eftersom mastersansvaring Ralf Rosenberg(?) inte är intressaerad av att ta in studenter från något annat programm än TD finns det inte så mycket annat val än att välja Product development om man vill hålla på med någon form av design. » (Yes - probably)
- The other master programmes is not really in my field of interest» (Yes - probably)
- I do not think there is any program at Chalmers that I would rather study.» (Yes - probably)
- If you mean the MP I would have chosen it, but I regreat that I didnt change bachelor program to IT, then I wouldnt have chosen this MP. » (Yes - probably)
- It is the master program more close to my interests.» (Yes - probably)
- I have a large interest in mechanics in addition to my main choice of mathematics. I prefer applied math, and the core courses in my programme are mainly theory based (as they should be). This is the only reason I would change programmes (maybe).» (Yes - probably)
- The course list is good but the courses for the spring semester has to be fixed. There were nearly no interesting courses» (Yes - probably)
- I could also consider sustainable energy systems as an option» (Yes - probably)
- It is very interesting» (Yes - probably)
- Since it is what I am interested in. But I did not know that a masters program was so much about reading literature and reflecting on research. I do not think such things make me ready for the industry. For me, it is too much focus sometimes on preparation for PHD. » (Yes - probably)
- since the programme in itself is rather broad, I find I haven"t got any real profile. also, you might realize that some things you can work with and other things don"t quite suit you.» (Yes - probably)
- I"m interested in Energy and this program gives a lot of insight in the subject» (Yes - probably)
- Gives a good introduction to the different areas of software engineering, can be more collaboration with industry in the different projects in the courses. I believe that this has been approved for the year below me but I could not see anything like that during my time here.» (Yes - probably)
- I would consider to choose industrial ecology» (Yes - probably)
- Very focused on methodologies, which can be quite annoying sometimes. I doubt (from own experience) how much these methods are used in industry. I know that it makes sense to get familiar with them but I think the emphasis that is put on them is too heavy.» (Yes - probably)
- All in all very satisfying» (Yes - probably)
- Interest in math» (Yes - probably)
- I really like the subject» (Yes - probably)
- Encubator conduct was not as great as I thought, I was disappointed. They do not reach the high level of our faculty. » (Yes - probably)

- I have a nice and interesting time here.» (Yes - probably)
- I am very satisfied with Applied Mechanics and there were no problems in getting a job before finishing the Master"s Thesis.» (Yes)
- It gives me excellent opportunities for the future» (Yes)
- Suits me perfect» (Yes)
- I am not too satisfied in general but the subject of the courses meets my interested while other master programmes don"t.» (Yes)
- Fun and challanging!» (Yes)
- It is the most interesting.» (Yes)
- It is the only MP in which i was able to study food technology» (Yes)
- A lot of contact with industries, relevant courses, » (Yes)
- I feel that I have gotten everything I expected out of the program and I"m very satisfied with my choice.» (Yes)
- I find the subject most interesting to me.» (Yes)
- Jag gillar mixen av kurser samt den familjära stämningen som skapades under de första veckorna. Den lade grunden för ett lättare lärande då man inte räds att ställa frågor. Jag är även nöjd med lärarna och deras engagemang. » (Yes)
- Because the teachers are great, the outline have a good mixture of practice and academia and the mix of students from different educational backgrounds is great.» (Yes)
- It"s the greatest courses I"ve ever taken. The teachers, the courses set up and the subjects studied are great. Very relevant.» (Yes)
- This is what I want to do!» (Yes)
- It includes a lot of what I was looking for as my master"s program. All the PD management courses and information.» (Yes)
- It is so much better than the bachelor in the way the teaching is done & the general atmosphere» (Yes)
- I still want to continue with work within this area.» (Yes)
- For me the subjects are the most interesting ones and I feel that I have been challenged intellectually and able to learn new things pertaining to a field of study that is concerned with changing environments. I would find the study of a stagnant are non-stimulating. » (Yes)
- Very well designed program.» (Yes)
- I am very interested in environmental assessments and plan to have a career in this field. With the MP Environmental measurements and assessments no longer available, this was the only real choice I had to achieve my chosen career path. But I have no regrets.» (Yes)
- I love the program, I almost wish I"d had taken a more managerial approach with my bachelors.» (Yes)
- It all comes down to job opportunities, courses connected to industry and companies enables some prediction of future work and are therefore preferable» (Yes)
- It is what I am interested in and I have been very satisfied so far.» (Yes)
- it"s just so good in every way! The teacher"s, masterprogram responsible, the content of the courses, the pedagogic skills, the freedom of choosing your own track but still "packages" and help with understanding your own profile. The spirit is so good and I also understand now that a lot of master students from abrouad choose Chalmers just beacuse of MPDSD, we are excelent in sustainable development compared to many other europeean universities apparently! » (Yes)
- Applied Physics suits me well. The ability to choose my own profile is important. It is also a good way to continue the studies after the Teknisk fysik bachelor regarding the subjects and level of education.» (Yes)
- Even if I don"t have quite all the kknowledge required for the MP, it"s still the only one I could possible choose at Chalmers - the others are not for me» (Yes)

- It"s my main intrest!» (Yes)
- I am quite interesting in the knowledge this programme provided.» (Yes)
- It"s the most interesting one.» (Yes)
- Excellent programme so far. Interesting, challenging and comprehensive courses. Great facilities available at both MC2 and EDIT dept. Academic staff mostly of very high quality, approachable and helpful.» (Yes)
- The programme covers just the combination of topics that I was searching for. While there"s room for improvement in some aspects, it was still the best choice under the circumstances.» (Yes)
- Because of the focus on sustainability» (Yes)
- I think theoretical physics is among the coolest things there is and this is the programme to learn it.» (Yes)
- because of its relevance in society» (Yes)
- There"s no other program I would rather choose. Even though my program has a problem (too high workload) that problem isn"t enough to change my choice.» (Yes)
- Incredibly invested and driven teaching staff and a freedom of exploration within a wide scope of perspectives and solutions. » (Yes)
- Awesome program, awesome teachers, awesome school, really easy to get into academia if you want to and still a highly regarded program within the industry.» (Yes)
- Unfortunately it does not exist any more so I can"t recommened it to younger students even if I would like to» (Yes)
- Excellent program which have suited me as a hand in a glove. High demands and many challenges but with the best possible support.» (Yes)
- Very innovative, hands on approach to education.» (Yes)
- Because this is what I want to work with and the courser are much more fun that on my bachelor» (Yes)

- Because I have learned a lot and gained many experiences. I think it was also good training for the future.» (Yes)
- I like the content, but would have preferred to more computer science related topics, or more design related topics. » (Yes)
- No other to choose, but I would like to direct it more to what has been used the last 50 odd years in industry, not so much as drawing transistors on silica and things like that.» (Yes)
- I"m satisfied with the relevant topics discussed and what I"ve learnt so far.» (Yes)
- It was far beyond my expectations. The level in the programme far exceeded that of the BSc. The teachers engagement, the level, the relevance and content has of the main courses been very good!» (Yes)
- Because the program is everything it says it is (unlike all the other choices for Teknisk Fysik) and is, in retrospect, the ONLY continuation on the bachelor"s program in Teknisk Fysik. The reason I say this is because the level of physics taught in the other programmes courses (for example the programmes Applied Physics and Wireless Photonics and Space Engineering) is frightening. They should be ashamed! Better quality on their courses is needed (There are a few good courses there as well though, for example Soft Matter Physics and Computational Physics)» (Yes)
- It offers a lot of courses in Functional Programming, and the theories behind it.» (Yes)
- It is a perfect masters program to get ready for meeting the challanges out in industry.» (Yes)
- Because I´,m very satisfied with most of the teachers and courses.» (Yes)
- A lot of courses to choose from and the option to take a double master.» (Yes)

40. What should definitely be changed in your Masters programme?- schedule rearranging»
- No major changes.»
- The course administrations could be better»
- More optional courses in the biomedicine track»
- The semielective courses during the autumn»
- Raise the level on every course - More interaction with the teachers»
- There are a lot of interesting courses during the first year and especially in the spring. Some of the courses should be moved to study period 1 and 2 in autumn. »
- Implement a written exam in Construction Govarnance »
- Some of the teachers»
- There should be more consistency with the workload across different courses in the program. Some courses required very little work and were still worth 7,5 ECTS, the same as other courses which were much more demanding (more assignments, reports, presentations).»
- nothing comes to mind»
- more elective courses in each study period. Students who are not interested in for example traffic planning have to take courses within traffic because of lack of other suitable courses to choose between.»
- The Complex Systems Seminar course.»
- TIF155»
- The courses" format mentioned above, and better communication between administration, teacher and students»
- The structure of the product development project»
- The lack of choices and possibility to specialize»
- Some courses were too unstructured. The programme should allow for more specialization through a wider offer of courses.»
- Perhaps a bit more individual projects. More IT oriented courses.»
- Automotive systems are a waste of time»
- I like almost everything with my Masters programme. The only thing I do not like is that the most interesting courses all seem to be held in study period 4. This year I wanted to take Network Security, Language-based Security, Finite Automata and Formal Languages, Parallel and Distributed Real-time Systems, Compiler Construction and Artificial Intelligence. Needless to say, I couldn"t choose them all.»
- The program includes too limited selective courses. It should provide more courses available for selection.»
- Mechatronic Deisng-course definetly needs improvements. Also better introduction to C and Java could be good.»
- the number of compulsory elective coureses!!!»
- Include more advanced cources, it was a bit too easy. I was able to work part time during the whole time, something that was not a possibility during the bachelor»
- Not as much repetition in the courses»
- Ökad kontinuitet när det gäller lärare, handledare borde kunna engelska. »
- I don"t think Heating Ventilation and air conditioning systems engineering should be mandatory but instead make it semi-compulsory.»
- More electives and relevant course choices»
- - Higher standards
- The course portfolio»
- Have the course "Dynamical Systems" earlier, perhaps even during the spring. Also if there were more clearly defined "profiles" within the program that would be nice.»
- Widening the curriculum to minimize course overlap. »
- Needs more financing »
- The first fall. It is heavy and not very rewarding. Many of the courses are very specific and should at least have more context to them. I"ve found it hard to understand how I could use Compbio 1 or Neural networks in other contexts, as an example.»
- The virtual production planning course should be remade»
- Nothing»
- Change the name! Please!»
- MPDSD. More guidance and support for civil engineering students. Most of the time we get "...and the engineers can do something that has to do with engineering" The architects get more quality in their tutoring. There should be enhgineers involved in the courses also if you will continue to take in engineers, or provide tutoring more directed towards the engineers also.»

- Less seminars with more focus on each one to ensure high quality for each one. »
- -»
- -»
- We need better lecture rooms, which have good lighting, larger tables, plenty of boards and a projector which can be operated at the same time as the boards are used.
The welcoming to the MP should be improved. I heard some silly excuse that there were no second year students available who could arrange the welcoming, why do they need to be bothered, they are tryng to graduate I hope. There should be someone responsible for the welcoming that is not a student (or a commander of students).»
- Getting to know the students more... More social activities within the program.»
- The presentation course shouldn"t yield that many credits.»
- Probably the project courses (Product Planning and Needs Mapping and Product Development Project) should be reduced in time or made more integral.»
- Make it accredited for Engineering Physics students, which it is not now. It makes it an unattractive master program for us!»
- The course simulation of complex systems is not really necessary»
- The project part of the structural engineering coursed should be revised, apart from that the course is very good.»
- -Make Nuclear Reactor Safety mandatory.
-There could be better interaction/communication between the physics and chemistry department. Also, the chemistry part of the program seemed to be a little inactive.»
- The administration between Sahlgrenska and Chalmers. They have not found an efficient way to work together in the same masters program. Chalmers probably need to open up to the Sahlgrenska students.»
- The compulsory-ness of the first four courses. I gained nothing by having to suffer through a course I did not wish to take.»
- Conflicts in Schedules, some Lecturers are not suited (pedagogically, linguistically and/or attitude wise.»
- Add more understanding for statistics»
- It"s not nice to fill the first 2 study periods with mandatory courses, as it effectively locks the students out of elective courses in study period 3 and 4 with prerequisite courses in the earlier periods. »
- The semi-obligatori courses, they are not that good, and not so interesting. Mabybe one could chose among more different courses?»
- more engineering courses»
- Something I discussed once in course evaluations is the attitude among students that only the highest grade is good enough: If I don"t get 5 I haven"t performed or prepared to the best of my ability and feel disappointed. It is a common attitude among ambitious students and a driving force, but at the same time it is a source for stress that risks to consume a student over time.»
- Harder courses. Getting a 5 grade should be an actual challenge.»
- More guidance in possibilities after school, relating theory to real world better.»
- more computer skills and more interaction and cooperation with enginers to learn to work together as a team and to learn to speak eachother language, because how will u cooporate in real life later on?»
- I can"t stress enough how bad the Software evolution project course was.»
- remove research methodology course»
- The organization of courses. They should include a proper course memo and some can use lessons in pedagogics.»
- -»
- The flexibility to take care och students that have done an exchange semester and are in need for som adaptations with the Porgram»
- The administration and the syllabus of the courses have to be revised.»
- Jag har svårt att se varför architectural competitions är obligatorisk. Det är en kurs som är värdefull för de som siktar på en karriär i tävlingsvärlden, men eftersom den inte innehåller något kritiktillfälle eller annan form av chans till feedback, blir det väldigt svårt att avgöra vad man eventuellt gjorde bra/dåligt och därmed ta med sig särkilt mycket lärdomar av kursen. »
- At least one week allowing foreign students to get adjusted with the learning environment. If necessary a set of classes (one hour from all mandatory courses) as an introduction, not for the course. But to the pedagogy. Would be helpful if implemented.»
- The second semester of the first year. Very few options for someone looking for a control theory and biomedical master. This carries on in the second year where the options are again limited by the few choices of year one.»
- The examiner in the "Steel Structures" course (2012) should try to be more helpful, at least when it comes to providing the students with the opportunity to ask for help. I sent several e-mails regarding some theory questions, but never received a reply. Then, unfortunately, the questions I asked about showed up in the written exam. Three of them out of, I don"t know, 30 questions? Coincidence or not, I think he, the students and the course would benefit from him doing a better job as a lecturer.»
- Can"t think of something that is downright bad with the program me.»
- Modelling and problemsolveing for engineers»
- Some planning. Perhaps bunch the mandatory ones more together so they all are done the first year? Not sure how that would affect the program though.»
- Some of the elective courses should be moved around. We have, for example, very many interesting courses in LP3, while in LP1 and LP4 there aren"t so many.
In LP1 I chose a course from another program entirely because I didn"t feel that the MPALG courses were that interesting (I had already taken the first Algorithms course the year before).
In LP3 I couldn"t take all the courses I wanted, so I suggest moving some to other study periods, esp LP1.
It would be more acceptable to have many courses in LP1 and LP2 since we have two of those , so you can take some courses in year 4 and some in year 5, which you cannot with courses from LP3 and LP4.»
- There should be no peer assessment for assignments - Chalmers is not coursera, I want feedback from the professor. There should be less group work and more individual assignments.»
- Better ventillation or at least proper existing ventillation»
- It should be divided into algorithms languages and logic programs. No obligatory courses. More advanced math courses»
- some information isnt available in english (misstakes?) making it difficult for exchange students and some unfortunate yet understandable schedule overlap where information may be lacking»
- The exam in (MEN115 - Energy systems modelling and planning)
»
- Students from less typical bachelor programs, students coming back from gap years and exchange students easily becomes pretty alone. It could be good starting of with a course there working in randomly selected groups. »
- see Q.27»
- Would be nice with some more inspiring locales to study in.»
- more courses to choose in the fall semester.
look over the criteria for every presentation, there must be a change in that...not always: a report, a poster and a digital presentation - think: what is needed here and for this project!!!»
- Maybe have 2 courses per quarter.»
- Reverse the order in which the image courses are given and consider making Image processing the mandatory course instead of Image analysis.»
- Everything else, more geotechnic courses and traffic lpanning courses. Less water courses or at least more options not take take those courses»
- systems biology and more elective courses»
- The problems with International students who doesn"t contribute to group work. They need to get a introduction to how studying at Chalmers works. This can no longer be the responsibility of the Swedish classmates.»
- In some courses, professors and quest lectures sometimes bring material (slides, presentations) in Swedish, or sometimes the available material for projects or assignments is only available in Swedish, this is slightly unpleasant since some information is not presented for everyone»
- Organizational Project Management and the information about selected courses should be improved.»
- The content of the program needs to be deepen (more advanced level courses are needed)»
- Modelling and problem solving.»
- Some compulsory courses are sometimes out of someone scope. Students who take this programme should have less compulsory courses to take and be free to choose whatever they want to learn.»
- The amount of given assignments and the time they consume are not beneficial to me as a student, and I seriously doubt that they are beneficial to my teachers either. Because I am spending most of the time that could be spent on learning new material, instead on completing assignments that don"t necessarily increase my knowledge on the subject. On many occasions I felt that my time was being stolen from me with no sensible return.»
- I think the research design and methods course should be given in the first study period.
There is a little too much focus on entrepreneurship in my opinion, and more focus could be on preparing the students for "real" jobs. Maybe that is actually happening, but it"s hard to notice as a student and that can cause some anxiety.»
- Too much theory, no practice applied.»
- I would have like for the Tissue Engineering I&II to be reformed into one, single course, with Julie in the lead. »
- More suggestions of technical courses to offer a balance to the creative, design-related courses. The social interaction between continuing students from the Chalmers-bachelor and new-comers should be facilitated more formally.»
- Some lecturers - especially in Environmental policy instruments, and they know who»
- More industrial contacts.»
- The geo course. The time required.»
- heat and moisture, dynamics and the impossibility to get in touch with the teachers at Applied Mechanics.
Robert Klieger was a great hindrance for our master thesis and also was to unorganized, unpedagogical and lacked English skills to teach and organize the timber course.»
- Better planning on the courses. More TAs on the labs or more lab slots.»
- The structure»
- Split it in to two programmes, one with water and one for geotechincs.»
- A better support from the course coordinator. To be able to apply for elective courses without problems from the administration side. It was not possible to apply for all promised elective courses. Furthermore it exist no mentoring program as mentioned on the Chalmers web page.»
- The number of courses to chose between »
- Project groups should be randomly selected, improvement of Theory of science course»
- HVAC.»
- Cooperation between fellow students should be more encouraged and promoted, especially between Swedes and International students»
- some content or structure of compulsory courses»
- Focus on one subject, water, geology or traffic or make it possible to read more courses in one subject. »
- I think it will be more efficient to add some laboratory in the »
- Chalmers has so far been very successful with the transition to the Bologna process (probably best in Sweden). However, going forward Chalmers focus on quality rather quantity. For example, the industrial engineering institution has several master programs. Maybe it´,s better to have two really good master programs rather than four OK ones. »
- More practical orientation, either programming och electronics.»
- The structure of the courses, some courses do not even have a serious time plan for itself (delay the grading time for exam etc.), which is a serious problem.»
- Personally, I would love the opportunity to be able to choose were the excahnge studies were to be performed. Perhaps better support from the school when appliyng for other schools then Northumbria»
- The course, Metal processing, casting, forming, joining (AND FEM, which was not stated in the PM for the course)»
- The Multiphase flow course should be changed. Even if it is a course at applied mechanics it adjusts to much of the course after the student with poor background in fluid dynamics (it should be opposite)»
- Perhaps force some more collaboration between students. Some easily become isolated.»
- The bad courses»
- Open up for the ability to take other master programme"s courses! The information of available courses are lacking. The master programme interaction design have many courses that would be really beneficial for us to take but there"s no mention about this at all. As we have few selective courses during the bachelor education we are very unused to research this. I would like a bridge between ours and other master programmes - especially interaction design.
Our field of study is fuzzy (as an example there is no established title for us) and we would need help to reach out to the labor market.
We are very focused on physical products and a bit with mechanical design, which I don"t think benefic the ones that wouldn"t want to work with mechanical CAD. I would like a *complete* package with other courses that"s more directed towards human factors.»
- A lot of teachers are pretty bad at English»
- The studio rooms. More computers.»
- More Practical workshops and labs»
- -»
- The Mechatronic design project should be in the first study term in fall again because it would give much more possibilities for course selection»
- Mandatory group work (with random groups) should be implemented earlier in the programme. Interaction between classmates was quite low until after Christmas. Swedish & international students tend to work/socialise separately.»
- Add more strict rules about how a course should be structured and planned before it is actually time for the students to take the course. »
- The ability to have more choices of courses in the 3rd semester. I.e. housing inventions would be a good thing to have both during the autumn and the spring. For instance if you have an exchange year you have no possibility to take that course.»
- Heat and Moisture engineering, Building Materials»
- All courses in the material track needs a overhaul so they actually teach you some good physics so you understand the principles. I do not agree with the choices fro semi compulsory courses since many of them are really BAD. Either increase the choices or decrease the number of courses. As it is now I know many people that have to choose a bad course instead of a good one because of this.
Create a track that is a combination of physics and astronomy and the computational track! I think that would attract many students that bounce between applied and physics and astronomy.
»
- It should use the block schedule (or have clearer schedules).»
- Less mandatory courses»
- merge the needs mapping course into the PD-project. It is not needed to have a single course for needs mapping.»
- A large part of the interesting courses are held in LP3-LP4, thus a student only has one opportunity to take them (master"s thesis during second year). Move a few of them to LP1-LP2, since students read those periods twice. In my case, I have a few courses left to read after my second year, meaning I read LP1-LP2 for a third time in the master"s programme. There are no interesting courses left to take now. This is frustrating, since there are still many interesting in LP3-LP4.»
- Modelling in the simulation course»
- I hope someone can try to go through all the courses that we have in this master program. Because most of us in this program have been talking about so much repetition in the last half during the first year study. And the elective compulsory courses really need to be improved as we got exactly the same guest lectures in different courses. »
- The water resources and environment course should not be mandatory. More selectable courses is needed. »
- Höj nivån. Det är för lätt.»
- More mixture between Swedish and international students»
- Pressure and mental health within the master thesis!»
- The experimental course in the beginning of the MP.»
- I think there are a lot of possibilities to speak up, make suggestions and give feedback to Chalmers and the programme staff. However I feel that not much is coming back. It"s like a letter that was sent away and that"s it. I don"t even know who reads the stuff I am typing here.
It would be great to hear some feedback on our feedback. Maybe someone could tell us what was learned from the feedback and if that has any consequences of even just explain why smth can"t be changed or is different than the students perceive it.
As an international student in IxD it would be great to have a closer relationship to Chalmers with all its traditions (like cortege and the clubs that you see around the campus). but maybe that is more our fault. Also it could be great to form own traditions for the programme and get attention from other students. I think the yearly party around new years is great and is something in that direction.»
- More courses to choose from»
- The lack of available tracks ( Yachts-Motor yachts,Ocean going structures and Vessels, submersible vessels) within the program and the demand in some courses.»
- More available courses to choose between»
- Add a course in economics and politics - would be very useful for the post-master time»
- I would have enjoyed the programme more, if the courses assumed more mathematical maturity on the part of the students (as one should be able to expect from B.Sc. students from Computer Science or related fields). By doing so, the courses could treat their topics more thoroughly and discuss more advanced results.
However, I realise that this might be an unrealistic requirement given the diverse background of other students and the skill set of some classmates I interacted with during my studies.»
- n7a»
- Course choices during the spring during year one»
- More focus on Real Estate»
- Remove some of the to specific mantary corses and plan the election bether so you are not forced to read corses irelevant to the track of education you are undertaking within MPBME.»
- Vissa kurser har kännts sämre (läs tidigare svar)»
- Grading croup work. How do you handle a group where someone only wants to pass and another wants a top grade? I am strongly against grading group work. I also believe that group work and other hand-ins should be anonymous.»
- Some evening elective courses and especially courses focusing on structure. »
- nothing»
- The workload needs to be reduced in some cases. I am not lazy (I want to point that out), but the problem with having a too high workload is that you don"t have time to digest the information you receive everyday. This will lead to a very "short term way of learning" when you have to stuff everything inside or brain just to pass an exam. This will in turn lead to the risk of forgetting the knowledge after the completion of a course which is the opposite effect one wants to achieve, considering that we are actually going to work with this stuff afterwards.»
- More actual software development!»
- Even more connection to companies»
- Group work . please do consider the power individual working and thinking. The situation in Chalmers creates the office environment where my ideas are subdued by other group mates. The knowledge horizon of the student is widened only if he is able to prove his individual idea. If the university still believes in cooperation please make the academics to create a team work not a group work. And I also strongly against the evaluation of the individual by their own group it makes the member to engage in a judgmental attitude than as a coworker. This is so weird.»
- More women in a leading roles and more pedagogic education to to PhD students. Enable abroad studies by having all mandatory courses the first year.»
- Facilities (bigger, lighter, more cosy). Amount of computers. Some courses need improvement (see above). Some courses should be added so that there really is 120hp amount of credits to get at the program. »
- More clear communication about some courses which might or might not be about designing technically efficient buildings (many appears to have been dissatisfied with the lack of basic courses on the theory of that subject and in some instances after having entered courses they thought would supply it). »
- Don"t know more than revise the teachers that are not so good. A good way to see how good a techer is is probably to look at the attendance of the lectures. »
- PLT and Compiler Construction can be optimized.»
- The good electives can not be chosen, because I have to spend time on HVAC, SD or SAoT. So -1 semi-compulsory would help a lot»
- The masters coordinator, Elad. From the courses he have teached it has been common that they are very messy in their structure, and he seems to get things to look more difficult than they are, due to a problem of not being short and concise in the information.»
- Some courses described above»
- Either the paths has to be more clear, I wanted the biophysics track but why should I have to take a course in e-Health which is totally different. I think too many courses are mandatory that don"t agree with the tracks. And also it one does not want to take the Tissue engineering courses one does not have another choice but to take the image analysis course.»
- More student activities»
- Often, the first two weeks of all courses in the autumn are general introduction of issues with environmental degradation, which you seem to know quite well after a while»
- -»
- The repetitive information and less group projects.»
- The electable courses oin the spring semester. In LP3 there were alot of courses but in LP4 not so much. This could be reviewed for an more even distribution.»
- engagemang från lärare»
- Think through the examination to actually test what you have taught the students and that the examination is not dependent on you having the exact same thinking as the examiner had when writing the questions. Broadly defined questions should allow for broad answers, if you want explicit answers then the question must be formulated explicitly. Furthermore continuous critical feedback from students should be a bit more valued by the faculty in my opinion. For example - there is a theory used that none of the students I have met (in both year 1 & 2) think have been useful or have given any results called CK analysis. This have been pointed out several times during the year by the students but the framework keeps showing up as a "useful tool" in every course. The answer from the faculty to this is that the framework is difficult to learn. But if it takes more than 2 years of practicing to learn a framework - then maybe it isn"t a very effective framework to begin with. Since we are expected to use the tool we use it afterwards to get the grades, but no one that I have discussed with actually have a use for it. »
- Ways of examining students should aim to be on a group level due to the nature of the future work environments we will work within. We will probably all work in teams. »
- No comments»
- Nothing!»
- Nothing»
- More portfolio-ready projects. In the current course setup it is hard to reach a level that the projects we do can be presented outside the class. Maybe more encouragement and opportunities to present outside the program. »
- Master thesis organisation!!!»
- Do not know»
- Som sagt, någon kurs om interface design.»
- The nuclear chemistry courses and physics of nuclear reactors»

- Numerical linear algebra»
- The schedule of drives 2!!!
»
- The name of the Computer Networks course since it was basically about mathematical proofs rather than networks.»
- Loosen up the mandatory courses. I also think maybe the mandatory porject course in year 2 could be moved to allow students to to a 1 year masters thesis (Which maybe is possible already?)»
- More practical projects, instead of literature review and reports.»
- better administration etc. from the teachers. better workplaces. ergonomic chairs and tables please. we work... and sit a lot... more than the teachers... room with views. room with good ventilation.»
- Workload
Turn to a more practical scope»
- Small adjustments within the courses, which the faculty have got through course evaluations»
- Artificial neural networks should be made optional and changed from teaching the subject mater as statistical mechanics to teaching the students about neural networks.
Computational Biology should be made optional.
Information theory for CAS should be made more related to the field of CAS and less research oriented, this is a engineering school (right?).
»
- The six sigma course.»
- The bibliography used in the Organizational Behaviour is largely outdated. The methodology, evaluation and balance between theory, practice and seminars for the course Technology Based Entrepreneurship seems a bit unbalanced and not entirely cohesive with its goals.»
- we need some sort of reception, we dont know each other in the class »
- Definitely add Matlab preparation, and perhaps some administration in RAC.. possibly BAC should be placed before. »
- Some courses should be with meaning. not just there so they can fill the curriculum.»
- Revise thr courses in study period 4. There are so few courses to choose from if you compare e.g. with study period three. »
- The Building track should be improved, missing a how to build sustainable - course»
- too few semi compulsory courses»
- Some courses should communicate more with each other and create better transitions.»
- The time line of the courses, in some study periods there are so many good courses to choose and the next study period there are just "uniinteresting" courses.»
- That you have too choose 8 compulsory courses out of 11 courses. In the end everybody have taken almost the same courses! I would like a larger freedom in the course selection»
- Give students the chance to choose courses more freely so that they can choose more freely what they want to focus on. »
- Teachers should have more time for students»
- More lectures in smaller groups where the students can discuss more with the teacher, as in the Energy systems modelling and planning course. The "seminar-like" structure could be more and better implemented also during excercises. E.g. the teacher pose a statement and the students have to answer him and reflect over it. »
- Perhaps improve the environmental courses»
- Many lectures have been totally irrelevant with the subject and our professions.»
- Guest lecturers should try harder to tutor in English.»
- remove the HVAC or improve it!»
- Revise some courses and their structures, have more pedagogical and supportive teachers, and remove the mid-presentation part of the thesis, it just takes more time from the actual thesis work but does not improve it, in my opinion.»
- Ssutainable Building var när jag läste den ganska rörig/oklar/trevande, men det var Barbaras första kull å andra sidan.»
- Geotechnics»
- Red thread»
- The geotechics course. »
- More practical stuff, like cases, company events and such.»
- The courses that people have been complaining about but not much happened after that. Tangible, Methods, HCD, Graphical Interfaces. Some teachers are really unstructured and chaotic. More feedback would be great. For some courses we hardly got any feedback at all and did not know why we got the grade. Some grades were done months later. »
- Nothing»
- Remove all of those model-based courses. They"re stupid, no one likes them and we have no need for them after our studies (other than having the knowledge that they"re stupid and we don"t want to touch it in the future).»
- The course Building Acoustics should not be suggested - the outcomes from Introduction to Sound and Vibration are more useful.»
- The time for exams, the dates for the exams. The matlab usage. Made this university and its courses not so much dependent on this software. Not everybody wants to become a software specialist/ programmer.»
- Vehicle dynamics is a course that could be more applied to reality and not so matematical. But more important than that it needs a more passionate about the materia and energetic teacher that explains the concepts more clear and tidily. »
- Must be able to "ackreditera" to civilingenjör.»
- More interesting lectures and less pp reading»
- some teachers are too strict in marking the exam paper.»
- The number of students who fail the exams is ridiculously high in some courses. »

- Nothing»
- Financial management course. And structure up Project management course = make the lectures correspond with the exam. »
- Better elective courses. Perhaps suggestions on elective courses.»
- The programme director»
- I think that most of our project works have to big groups. I will be more satisfied if the groups are between 3-4, not 5-7.»
- Better coronation and corporation should be established between Chalmers and GU for better delivery of the courses that they offer together.»
- The HVAC course, and the extreme inbalance in workload when comparing study period 4 to periods 1-3»
- few courses»
- The structure of the program can be tweaked so that for example a course on Analytical Mechanics can be accomodated in Study-Period 1, preferably the first year. There should also be a track of courses aimed towards Condensed Matter Theory, maybe together with the Applied Physics Programme? Apart from that, there is not really anything that needs to be changed.»
- modelling and simulation, e-health
the coordinator»
- the large focus placed on written reports»
- The workload was a little bit too low. especially the first semester.»
- Add a shortet introduction to LaTeX. Or place it in the bachelor. It is a b´,powerful tool to use and a lot of students can help other students to learn it but it would be great to acknowledge the program to those who have never heard about it.»
- Fler semi-obligatoriska kurser lp 2, man läser faktiskt höstterminen två gånger på masterprogrammet. Hade hellre velat välja vissa valbara kurser på våren istället för på hösten som jag nu måste.»
- The time perspective. Teachers shall not encourage working late hours and realize that student don"t work as fast as they might do. »
- The name of the masters program is kind of misleading. I thought it would relate more to the embedded systems in todays industry, not drawing circuits and transistors by hand....»
- Better, more in depth explanations by the different tutors to what will be working with before we choose our studios»
- modelling and problem solving. More eligible courses and possibility to study courses at other programs. More individual assignments.»
- The course - Advanced topics in computer systems and networks didn"t give anything to me as scientific and educational value, it created only frustration because of the unclear requirements. Definitely should be revised.»
- More teacher interaction for the projects»
- perhaps the different paths to take could be emphasized a bit more to the students. »
- Condensed matter physics really needs to be looked into. The course is related to grafen and should really be given by the best teacher availible, wich it is not now. »
- The six sigma course»
- The narrow range of elective courses.»
- The coordinators and examinors in the thesis course at Architecture, Housing-studio.»
- Get back Robert Feldt, more industry collaboration in the different project courses, more information to new teachers who are teaching courses, re-think if all courses that has a project really needs an exam. »
- I think there is too much emphasis on construction thorough all the courses!»
- To be blunt: raise the requirements - some students do not have any programming experience, havent studied any physics since high school - and the main problem is that theyre pretty vocal about it and bring down the teaching to their level.»
- Some courses are not that well outlined, while others are extremely good»
- There are so much articles to read.»
- More "räkneövningar" (Ecersises) in ordinary classrooms not in big lecture rooms.
Quizzez in the next lessons are very good.»
- Programs should be a bit science driven nor fully engineering based. There should be a balance between those two.»
- The weak courses mentioned above + more mandetory exonomic and buissness courses.»
- The amount of theoretical background given to the softwares is irrelevant. Like the FEM basics. Such courses should be reserved for people who want to pursue a PhD in that field»
- The rigid structures of "this is how we do things - don"t question that". It is an education of entrepreneurship, so I really believe that the structure of the education should be entrepreneurial as well - allowing for more freedom and liberty to design your own education within it.»
- Geotechnics, indoor climate. Better information about the choices that can be made when selecting courses. Not clear that you can choose courses from another school. »
- Possibility to choose from studios under the Master programme Design for sustainable development as well.»
- "Enforce" a closer relationship to industry in these projects. Maybe even propose that students work in the corresponding department for some time. It felt like we worked for (!) the company and not with the company.
Furthermore I think that most of the students that did their bachelors degree at Chalmers definitely need more experience in these environments.»
- The two courses mentioned above.»
- the semi compulsory courses I find not so interesting»
- I would like more interaction with other students. I got a feeling sometimes that I am quite isolated with the students in my project groups. »
- Preparatory course for MATLAB»
- Add matlab»
- I expected more practice and connection to industry.»
- The courses Heating Ventillation and Air Conditioning Systems, Sustainable Electric Power Systems»
- Not anything in particular»
- the highly disorganized courses at nuclear Chemistry.»
- Hard to organize exchange with so many mandatory courses the first year. Maybe it is not a problem for Physics/Math bachelor students, for me it was.»
- idk»
- The amount of uncredited work, for example laboratory exercises and computer exercises that does not provide any credits even though you passed them.»
- * Inform every teacher about the rules of Chalmers especially regarding breaks and when to send the grades to LADOK. Because many of them have never heard about these things.
* More structured planning of the course schedules so that students can plan their studies as well!
* It would also be great if every teacher could have the same way of presenting the schedule so that it is clear where, what and when things will happen!»
- Changes to content of some courses(mentioned) in one of the questions before.»
- The classrooms»
- Nothing in particular. Condensed matter physics needs improvements»
- Elective courses the second year don"t seem that interesting. I would like to have the option to take more PhD courses.»
- Nothing strong to suggest»
- Make sure there are unlocked doors between the studios so that you can mingle around easier. You do not only feel locked out fro other studios but also locked in at yours.»
- Better structure in some subjects such as customer relations»
- More interesting courses to choose from the first Spring semester. Sustainability should be understood more deeply, not only from the business perspective. We could work on actual problems. Now I feel conflicted on the ethical side working a lot with gene manipulation, oil companies, car industry etc. without any questioning as part of the process. »
- No opinion»
- More coordination to avoid similarities in the curriculum.
Also, more on electric and hybrid vehicles since they are so important for the future.»
- More flexibility with advanced course choices (since the compulsory elective course can not be that advanced for some).»
- Have better equipment»
- Maybe have some more mandatory courses. It would reduce the time spent for the students to plan for their choice of courses.»
- less literature projects»
- Maybe it would be worth to split the programme into two: Structural Engineering, Building Technology. After first semester we don"t really have much in common. Moreover, this could result in broader pool of courses to choose and hence better preparation in the field.»
- Industrial biotechnology is not so related to biomaterial, and it is difficult to follow up without metabolism engineering background. Thus it is not necessary to keep it as compulsury course.»
- more time with tutors. »
- Heat and moisture and Materials performance. »
- Catalysis and surface engineering lab projects: Too large groups! Major problem to get people working and in the end it is always the same people who has to do all the effort (me included). But this is a problem in many courses whenever there are too large groups.»
- The tuition fee is a little bit high for international students.»
- The courses modelling and simulation and mechatronic design were poorly executed. The content of those courses looked the most interesting of all »
- As previously mentioned, some promotion on social gathering outside school»
- More semi-compulsary courses. More activities between first- and second year students. Make the difference larger between the courses Sustainable Development and Sustainable Energy Futures. (Keep SEF as it is and remove some things from SD that also is included in SEF, and add more perspectives on SD for example extintion of species)»
- A few professors could improve their teaching styles.»
- Few courses could be taken out from the curriculum,few easy and rather technical courses should be included.»
- Nothing»
- more emphasis on lab experiments can be given»
- Despite theory, the cources should consist more about real case connected to the construction industry, e.g. collaboration with CMB here at Chalmers. The courses should contain more workshops where student most be engage with the subject, right now student are less involved with the teacher pushing the power point forward. My suggestion is to test the student about the subject after two weeks effecient lectures, then continue to involve theory with practice consisting of real challenges building sector is facing, where students in groups work and prectice social skill among others. Now a days, lectures are so inefficent with no responsible putting at the students, just exams after 7 weeks. Maybe it is time to discuss some changes? Contact me if you want, I want to help us be better managers and utilize the money we put on this education in a higher extent then we do right now. »
- Competitional high end architecure etc. focus is too high. »
- See Question 26»
- ENM045 needs major revision to be useful for this program, and as well ENM125 to be a useful semi-compulsory course.»
- The fem-structures course could be improved»
- --»
- The attitude of profesors to help students. They are too bussy. They never want to speak with us and it is so difficult to receive a feedback from them. »
- Coordinator»
- Lektionerna är ofta sega. Folk lär sig att man inte behöver gå på lektionerna, man klarar sig ändå. Därav är intresset när man väl är där också ganska lågt. För att få igång samtal måste dessa ske i mindre grupper. »
- More tutorials»
- The GU courses. First, the course goals is not met and poorly updated and second, the course representatives does not seem to know about our background and has spent an entire lecture in describing DNA...»
- It could benefit from a more suitable, enticing name rather than something which sounds as a dodgy, popular-science evening course at GU. At present, I hesitate to put the name of my MSc. program on my CV. The old name, "fundamental physics", is more spot on and if there has to be something with "astro" in it, why not "fundamental physics and astronomy"? Moreover, a closer contact with different research fields through invitations to interesting seminars + information about internship possibilities would be most appreciative.»
- Product Development Project»
41. Do you have any general suggestions for improvement of Chalmers Master programme?- No.»
- Should relate more to science and prepare for phd.»
- These kind of mandatory tracks should be revised.»
- More information from the start. Thesis should be guided more, more like the kandidatarbetet. Too little information is provided regarding what should be done and when.»
- the only thing I noticed, when I was looking for jobs, were it was hard to know which job to look for! But got 3 to choose between at the end»
- more elective courses to choose between. »
- Some students are admitted without having any competence at all, they end up getting a free ride in all the projects. Make sure to check that they have studied hard subjects before, and make sure to evaluate each person in each groupwork everytime. »
- TIF155»
- No»
- Maybe build more connections between school and industries.»
- More information in english from Chalmers and in the homepages.»
- Have one Industrial engineering master that combines QOM, MEI and SCM to improve the quality. The quality is way too low at times and it reflects badly on the overall civil engineering degree within Industrial engineering and management.»
- Fewer mandatory courses.»
- More courses should be offered. Covering more aspects in acoustics»
- No»
- Yes. Change the course evaluation system. The old system worked pretty fine, why do a change to a worse one?»
- MPDSD. The voluntary course for students of non architecture background was good. It could be designed more to help the students to find out how to use thier backgrounds in the programm. It was more about architects, what does architects do and so on.»
- Try to connect the courses with the working industry to gain a reality perspective e.g. doing study cases at companies, site visits...»
- We need more help for finding a job. »
- Yes! please Do not get consultants in as teachers! :(»
- The feeling of the programm is that you do a bit material courses then it"s "do whatever". There should be a more in depth plan on what a Materials engineer does. Not only have some general materials knowledge. »
- Lower the number of students in the class. Give more feedback on what you are doing and increase the level for passing the courses.»
- Abandon SE as a master programme and focus on providing a few HIGH QUALITY courses based on the following subjects: Requirements engineering, Empricial SE/CS, Architecture and Testing.
The programme responsbile reiterates that they have a problem with continuity due to the high rate of change of staff. This should be indication enough that it is not suitable to offer that many courses, more so a master programme. To reiterate, focus on a few HIGH QUALITY courses and make sure you can provide continuity for them. In due time the dept. might gather the knowledge required to add more courses and a master programme. Today, 2014, I feel like they can"t and no one is more sorry for that than we, the students.
Also, when designing courses. Please use all those "company contacts" that the dept. has so that courses are not only influenced by researchers. Yes, Chalmers is a research institution, and you want to recruit people to do research, but the students would really benefit by courses having more connection to the industry. Invite people from the industry to guest lecture (happened in some courses), hold workshops, supervise etc. The industry, the students and Chalmers will benefit from this. I once heard that the motivation for placing SE on LN was that the industry is nearby. Unfortunatley, we (the students) rarely saw the benefit of this. I guess it was limited to research and not education...»
- No»
- The programme plan should be overlooked»
- It should be mentioned that 4 semi-xompulsory courses needs to be taken even though you go with the double degree exchange to Stuttgart. »
- no»
- Try to make it more challenging to pass. The higher grades are at a reasonable level of difficulty but barely passing is often too easy. It is supposed to be a Master"s programme after all. »
- Take the perspective of the student in designing the program. Also, a holistic view, covering the bachelor"s & the master"s program, is needed. Include some of the students that have recently graduated to discuss the situation, not only the students that are in at Chalmers. If interested, please reach out to me at 0730-638989 to discuss more.»
- -»
- I not entirely sure, but we should probably not have to arrange our own trips to study visits (at for example Ruag or Saab). It costs me a lot of money to buy bus tickets.»
- Be sure that the Block scheduals work! There are some courses that have laborations that collide with other courses in different blocks. There is also a problem if attending courses given by GU.»
- nope»
- There are two MPs that are natural continuations from Teknisk Fysik. There is a gap between the two programs for those interested in fundamental physics on a low-energy/multibody scale.»
- Tap into what kind of pedagogical approach Chalmers School of ENtreprenuership has. I am extremely happy with the more mature and less old-school style teaching methods.»
- Revise the course evaluation system.
Perhaps discuss ways to get students closer to research. Seems like students working on real projects (even if only on their spare time) is rare here. »
- There should be more options relating to ocean engineering.»
- Most of The courses are relevant. but it is too few practical and Industry oriented courses.»
- The course evaluation doesn"t work, the evaluation forms get sent out by some robot before the courses even finish!»
- In general, I would like to see that the bachelor programs better prepare students for the Master Programs. In my experience, it didn"t feel as if the level of difficulty kept escalating up until the last year of the bachelor program. Instead, the level of difficulty increased up until perhaps during the second year, to thereafter level out. As a result, there was quite a step up from the bachelor to the master program.»
- Teacher should be allowed (and encouraged) to give harsh criticism when deserved. Students shouldn"t be offended if they"re told that something is trivial and that they should understand it at that point. It"s university, not kindergarten.»
- I would like to say that Lena Falkheden is the best techer when it comes to every thing. Admninistration, information and competence and everyone likes her because she is correct and fair!»
- This programme should be called "Software Engineering Methodologies/Research/Theory". Most of people who choose this programme don"t want to become researchers. Make it more practical.»
- more business cases»
- -»
- I have had horrible experiences with starting my thesis. I would like to suggest better management of the same.»
- Set higher demands of the students who participate in the Master Programmes. During my first three years of Chalmers I did not met many students that made me think "How did they even made it to Chalmers?". During my first year of my master programme it feels like I have had the same quetion about 25% of my classmates. Some of them are really stupid or lazy. My opinion about Chalmers being a school of high reputation is about to change and I feel worried about going out in working life and work with these people.»
- Att lärarna för kurserna i housing-studion måste våga vara mer innovativa, jag tror det har hänt i Olas kurs, men både healthcare och housing for seniors handlar till stor del om ett rationellt tänkande, där det känns som att man kan få fram mycket mer spännande lösningar som rimmar mer med INNOVATIONS for housing, work and healthcare.»
- Interaction between foreign students and teachers. During breaks when the teacher converses with Swedish students in Swedish, one feels unwelcome. Happens quite often in the program. Needs to be changed certainly. »
- Please add more courses from the MPSYS programme as compulsory electives in the second semester of the first year. Especially Mechatronic Design and Embedded Control Systems. Applied Mechatronic Desing is very basic and does not offer anything new to someone coming from the Automation and Mechatronics bachelor on Chalmers. Make Image Analysis and Diagnostic Imaging not complusory for someone more interested in signals, controls and mechatronic systems in the medical world. With the selection being as it is, Diagnostic imaging becomes automatically compulsory for people without prerequisites for Tissue Engineering.»
- Hoppas att ni i framtiden kan ta åt er bättre av elevers förslag till utbildningen. Personligen har jag fått väldigt tråkig respons av mina till en början positiva och engagerade förslag som nu mer har blivit lite uppgivna och buttra.»
- Not really, I think it is mostly really good. »
- Introduce mentoring system.»
- Building...»
- Create a machine learning program»
- Keep it as it is :P»
- See q.26. I see a poor connection between operations and finance and I would therefore appreciate more focus on it, which probably would make QOM students more attractive and prepared.»
- -»
- more computers...»
- No»
- In some courses there are guest lectures who sometimes (very common) are not familiar with neither projects, assignments or previous lectures, maybe more communication between professors is recommended»
- Clearer information about the selection of courses and the possibility of choosing between a wide number of courses.»
- Change the credits of each course from 7.5 to 6 so that each student need to take 5 courses per term. In other words, the content of a master program needs to reach more advance level than it has today.»
- Traffic masters program? Or maybe add 1-2 courses regarding traffic and urban design. Traffic simulation, Traffic engineering, public transport system, etc.»
- Clearer career opportunities for international students. As they pay very expensive for their studies, they should at least have the equal chances to get a job or something related like their fellow local friends. »
- Maybe make some introductions for people coming from other bachelor programs than the one belonging to the master program, so they can have be better prepared.»
- Implement small projects runned by students of the program and link them to construction companies. »
- Take the introduction weeks more serious and realise Chalmers has a responsibility for bringing the Swedish bachelor students from Chalmers together with Swedish and non-Swedish students from elsewhere.
Going away on a trip is not enough of it"s own and without a degree of facilitation, such a trip will only reinforce the established social networks = Swede"s will talk with other Swedes in Swedish and unknowingly exclude international students.»
- Well, If you are going to have a lot of courses dependent on specific software availiable on Chalmers computers. IT MIGHT BE AN IDEA TO HAVE ENOUGH COMPUTERS.... Going 5 students per PC is not viable. two choices for you 1, get more computors or 2, remove those parts of the courses and rely solely on paper assignments (i prefer 1).»
- Greater control of foreign students competences. Some students had never seen maths, more or less.»
- ? »
- More written information about the programmes»
- It is personal opinion that in period 1 is too many interesting courses, while in period 2 not so much»
- The exams period should start at least half or one week after the end of all lectures and assignment-deadlines, otherwise it"s short time to study»
- more promotion to create an international study environment, more cooperation between swedish and international students.»
- In my specific master, i still do not know in which companies I can apply for a job after I ll complete my master. There is a gap between industry information-master students.»
- It should be easier for student to choose courses from architecture since there are many that are interested in that subject, especially if you read infrastructure. Now it is almost impossible to taka any courses at architecture, which is a shame.»
- I don"t have any suggestions. »
- 1) Greatly increase the difficulty of the courses/progame and make it more time-consuming. It should not be enough for a student to just study 3/4 days for the exam and still receive 90/95% on the final exam. This is university, not high school.
2) Focus on understanding, critical thinking, and problem solving rather than just memorizing material
3) Make it more quantitative. It´,s extremely important to make the management/economics courses more quantitative.
3) Introduce "case studies", i.e. assign a specific business case for each lecture.
4) Make the lectures more interactive (like they are in the U.S). This will greatly enhance the understanding and learning.
5) Focus on quality rather than quantity. Better to have a few very good courses than several "bad" ones. »
- Min uppfattning hittills är att man på Chalmers lägger stor vikt vid tentor som ett examinations-medel, kanske för stor vikt. Även om tentor är ett effektivt sätt att få studenter att lära sig mycket på kort tid så uppmuntrar tentor samtidigt till ett kortsiktigt lärande. Chalmers borde se till att ett större antal kurser använder sig av andra examinations-medel, t,ex projektarbeten. Projektarbeten har dessutom, förutom att de leder till ett mer "hållbart" lärande, fördelen att de lär studenterna ett arbetssätt som används av företag.»
- More information about choise of courses outside the program. The information about the ones within the program is very good. I had no (until resently) idea that some of my courses of chioce could be ANY courses, not just the ones listed in the scroll menu at the course selection page.»
- There should be some help desk for student to guide them on finding right department/professor/company for their master thesis. »
- More connection to the industry, ITS A MUST! »
- More interaction design courses»
- Brige between them more! »
- Some social activity the first year would be nice.»
- Maybe a (volontary) summer intro in programming for eg. physics + mathematics students, and a (volontary) summer intro in mathematics for the others, because it seems everyone are lacking some knowledge since before.»
- Stick to the old year schedule. The new schedule looks very bad for january. »
- As mentioned above, the interaction between Swedish and international students could be improved. Due to the language barrier it is hard for non-Swedes to work/socialise with groups of Swedes and both tend to keep to themselves as a result.»
- Introduce international students early and clealy to how to write a report on Chalmers and what is allowed and not, so far the swedish students have had to do all the extra work in all the projects to make sure of this.»
- Be better at pointing out the negative points about hte different programs, don"t try to just sell it. Please MAKE THESE KINDS OF SURVEYS FORM PREVIOUS YEARS AVAILABLE FOR THE STUDENTS! so we can read and get a picture of how the previous year"s students thought about the program. And I stress that we want THE COMMENTS! nobody cares about the numbers good->bad.
Remove the need to take a MTS course in order to take you civilingenjörsexamen. The MTS courses really are a TOTALLY WASTE OF TIME!
At least then let us read something over at the university.
Something that would have been appreciated would be if we could read some course in economics or some language.
Work harder to reinstitute the Christmas holiday that will be removed this winter. that is really one of the WORST DECISIONS EVER! It will increase the level of stress for the students tremendously.
Lastly increase the student involments in the course evaluations. Don"t pick them at random! My experience tells me that the results is much worse when they had no intentions from the start. It all goes towards some central machinery were nobody cares and the surveys are made just for the sake of gathering numbers for the higher ups. The important things is to have the ability to write comments and suggestions (some surveys even lack a other remarks or suggestions ending were you could write things not specified earlier.) Then let the student representatives read it and be present at the evaluation (I don"t know if that is the case at the master level, which indicates a flaw in the spreading of information). Another problem is that the student isn"t informed early enough that they are representatives.
Oh and shut down that awfull pingpong. It only creates headaces for the lecturer and students and serves to shut down the information leading to greater difficulties for the students to actually get a better picture of what the course treats. (reading at the course explanations SELDOM gives the course justice).
At the beginning of each year i would have been nice to recieve a mail with information of how the previos years students thought about the programe, which ideas that came up and eventual actions from the administrations to improve the programme.
Nice with a survey, hope it results in improvements!
»
- no»
- More and better information. Have some seminars about how our master"s programme connects to research, the industry etc. There"s been nearly no information about what a PHD means in practise.»
- For the foreign students: introduce them to Student Portal and PingPong (short introduction would have been fine).
Some foreign students had to learn the hard way about these two websites, whereas the former Bachelor students at Chalmers knew everything about it.»
- I would say some of the course content need to be changed for catching up the career market. I would highly recommend a course of how to analyse mass of data under our field.»
- I would prefer alos a focus on more "modern" tools and ways of working with MPDSD-issues. »
- Fix the f*ing block schedule, everything collides. »
- Nope»
- Öka samarbetet med Fundamental fysik. Deras kurser håller i rregel en mycket hög kvalitet och nivå. Lås inte fast er i att "varje institution ska ha sitt masterprogram". Jag vill se ett mellanting mellan Applied Physics och Physics and Astronomy.»
- Always having to share coursework with one or more other students can be problematic, especially if one student wishes to change course after it has started.»
- Like I said in the previous question. It would be great if I as an international student would be prepared or introduced to more traditions that Chalmers has. Maybe that"s more of a bachelor thing though.»
- Don"t do block schedules. Messes up the freedom to chose different courses. With blocks there is a higher risk two courses will be totally impossible to attend if they are in the same block on different programs. With more random schedule, atleast some non-overlap could occur.»
- No»
- The unavailability of tracks and how unclear the path to be followed is inside the course»
- In my opinion, trying to be less accommodating to students from unrelated fields, might free up some resources to provide a higher level of education.»
- organize conferences, support for paper publication, contact with possible employers»
- A new master programme in real estate or a more clear real estate path in DCPM»
- Nope»
- Would have liked more of an introduction week where you could get to know the new classmates better. Especially for me coming from another university.»
- No»
- A small seminar about how this program rolling could be held before students really step into this MP.»
- One will become master in the subject only when the teacher appreciates his individuality. Please make sure that each master student grows his own individual potential not force him to have a complete knowledge of whatever he doesn"t want to focus in his life . thank you.»
- Reintroduction of the course Design for extreme environments. Also, a rotating Reality studio with other target contexts than Kisumu would in my opinion develop both program and connections. »
- No»
- -»
- No comments»
- make the periods morethan 7 weeks. and be careful about the TA"s!»
- It would be nice to have compulsory elective/elective courses spread out better over the study periods. In lp1 and 2 (that we can choose from both in year 4 and 5) there are only a few courses each, but in lp3 (which we only study in year 4) there are a lot of (interesting!) courses... Would be better to get to choose from some more courses each study period.»
- This program deserve a studio space for students! - a common area where they have a flexible, but organized work environment, because studios are the foundation for any design program. Now student rooms (High and Low) need to accommodate all people and functions (project work, lectures, lunch, social life), what ends up in a big mess, but unfortunately not a very creative one.
It does not need to be anything cool or fancy, just a dedicated space where groups can work on their projects, not disturbing others, can leave their work overnight and come back to it next day. The advantages of having a proper studio will be quickly seen in the quality of projects. »
- No»
- Nej»
- Give students more information in the beginning of courses»
- More events are needed to provide the opportunity for international students to know more about their classmates and the environment. »
- the teachers can be more involved. say hello when they meet us in the corridors for example or smile, ask us how we feel if we have questions... »
- Yes, reorganize the program, some of us are actually trying to make that happen right now. A meeting is planed with Mats Granath for the 2 of June where we will deliver our thoughts on the program»
- Lower the number of students»
- More semi-compulsary courses. »
- Seminars often produce little engagement in the audience (students) and have large variability in the quality of their output. It"s mostly an in house or guest expert retelling stories. If the person is charismatic, the result can be inspiring. If not, very little use can be extracted. Increase interactivity and action based activities »
- It"s beneficial to add some auxiliary courses (not the regular 7.5 credits course)to help us learn software e.g. Matlab, ADS, necessary for the regular courses. »
- Installation of video cameras to curb repeated bouts of thefts in the (same) studios »
- More structure and communication between courses.»
- The Programme feels very material oriented at the moment. Either make it more general or inform the students better before they apply.»
- Divide the programme into 2. 1 only for building technology and 1 for structural engineering. »
- Offer the international students a proper swedish course. The reality looks like this: People come from other countries(in our MP around 50%), OFTEN with some basics in Swedish gained in their home-universities. In Sweden they expect to learn more/fluent swedish. BUT swedes love to speak english,i.e. the possibility to learn the language on your own is minimized. Chalmers offers NO professionaly arranged course in Swedish. The students who are interested in learning Swedish quickly loose interest when they realise that they will have to stand in line to a SFI-course the first 6 months in Sweden. A fact is that most swedish companies requires that you know swedish. Result: The students finish their studies and go home. It is such a waste of qualified labour and study money. Please arrange/reintroduce a Intensive course during the first months of studies at Chalmers. (BTW I"m swedish). »
- present more of the available selectable courses»
- Make sure that students get all the support they need and reduce confusion.»
- Kanske att man tydligare visar exempel på vilka slags jobb elevers som har läst inriktningen söker sig till/får.»
- Some courses lack clear directions such as Geotechnics.»
- More company visit and lectures by professionals»
- Perhaps offer more applied math classes (such as the mechanics classes/fluid dynamics) in tandem with the math courses. Currently when I choose to take a course from the mechanics department, they almost always overlap lecture-wise with math program classes. This is quite annoying, and it would be nice if the classes could be arranged better, since the disciplines are so closely related.»
- There should be more external projects that are connected to companies, that way it is more probable that the students also find a job later on. Nothing has been done about this really, only through Master Theses. We are graduating soon and do not know if we can find some nice job because we did not have time during the Masters program to learn much of Swedish and we did not have much contact with companies either. »
- No»
- Don"t listen to the haters. You"re doing just fine (especially compared to other master"s programmes)!»
- The first exam to be on Tuesday and the second on Sunday in the examination week. Include individual projects for the students, not only group projects. It is not always fun to work with others. »
- It would be great to have a complete list of all courses that are related to the program and that counts towards the degree.»
- Must be able to "ackreditera" to civilingenjör.»
- I dont like the layout of the courses - with 100% studios and smaller courses. This makes it very hard to choose other courses form Chalmers outside the architecture program. »
- Try to add more scholarship to non EU student to encourage more talents, and provide career service like introduce more job opportunities to particularly international students, also living and language advices and aids maybe.»
- Opportunities to work with clients and companies.»
- Should add some activities to bring the class together in the start up in september. Especially needed for students coming from other swedish universities.»
- Consider adding a good project course in the same vein as product development or applied mechanics project.»
- -»
- -More contacts with relevant companies and study visits
-Imformation sessions about comming courses»
- I think that most of our project works have to big groups. I will be more satisfied if the groups are between 3-4, not 5-7.
»
- Introduction week and more social events with the class »
- more mingling events with companies»
- Increase the level of the courses at the advanced level, in general. Maybe be more strict with required knowledge, as many courses suffer due to varying background of the students. Do not let courses suffer because of this. Make it clear that if students do not have the requirements then it can be tough, but that it is their problem!
Also: many courses should look over at which Study-period and in which block they are, so that they do not overlap with similar courses that could be relevant. It would also be good if more lecturers/examiners coordinated their courses so that there is no overlap in the course-contents as well.»
- more presentations in smaller groups, more feedback regarding the presented solutions and how they are to be realised (more focus on the functionality without losing the emphasis on aesthetics)»
- there is a need for mot unity and friendship within the class. More activities is def. needed in the first semester»
- Add more programming (at a start level) to the courses that is not Matlab. »
- More eligible courses and possibility to study courses at other programs. More opportunities to do internships as a part of the education»
- More information about how to start with your thesis both for industrial thesis and university ones, the proposition for thesis should be presented at the beginning of the year not 1 month before the time to start working on it. The procedure for getting thesis proposal approved should be clearly explained before the time for writing not after that.»
- the hope of getting a job would be better»
- No»
- It would be good to get insight into other fields of work than construction. »
- Nothing come to mind»
- More Career Opportunities»
- better planning in the sence that all the material should be available before the course starts on computer»
- Rock on!»
- Make the bachelors student more open to english speaking class mates. The culture is very discouraging and there is a clear divide between swedish and international students when it comes to interaction in the classroom»
- Keep Björn Engström as long as possible. He has a very good pedagogical teaching which is structured. He wants the students to learn. Other teachers should work as he does. »
- Should be possible to choose more courses. To many are mandatory.»
- It would be nice to have a set study room (hall) where most of the people of the course could work together (give more of a team atmosphere, which makes you want to go and spend time at uni).
It is really annoying finding group room, which have to be booked and then are still being used by others.»
- Focus more on cooperation with the industry. »
- Don"t only have 100% exams also make the projects count for something.»
- don"t know »
- Some master programmes have various track profiles to choose from.
These track profiles consist courses from various departments. Equal attention to such track profiles should be given which I feel is lacking at the moment.»
- Add matlab»
- Revise the MTS-courses. Every master programme should have a MTS-course that is relevant and connected to the other courses.»
- Nope»
- Better support for outgoing exchange students. To my knowledge, few math students go abroad for exchanges, maybe that is the reason. »
- idk»
- Addition of courses like Power System Protection and Smart Grid Systems.»
- -»
- May be the Knowledgeable professors also should be able to deliver the lectures in an effective way, may be they should improve their pedagogical abilities.»
- Give the whole staff a course in how the natural sciences approaches the search for knowledge.
This is what lectures should look like. Enjoy!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNnIGh9g6fA»
- Probably providing or making more chances for students to contact or work or internship in the company»
- Keep them worthwhile, not too geared for industry or management consultant"s position. More diversity among students chosen. More student initiatives. »
- not really»
- No!»
- Counselors and director"s support and advice could be improved.»
- Some kind of web page for each master programme containing relevant master thesis proposals. It should make it much easier for the students to find a project. »
- Some basic courses should be provided such as Matlab for the International students.»
- Add the course project psychology, which is now part of IPM and a course which deals with strategies and methods of working with clients»
- Not too much.I am satisfied within my period in CTH»
- Could improve the number of subjects available to choose from for electives.
The options withing the department are really limited.»
- It would be better if international students get more opportunity to interact with program director from the beginnig and with the tutors as well.»
- The time is not enough considering the volume of the courses.»
- not really»
- nothing major»
- Se answer (40). I hope that responsible for DCPM meet the class and bring up questions which are much more bigger than just evaluate the course. We need to discuss together the frustration of the program"s laziness and bad connection to the industry, with purpose to defend the reputation of Chalmers. »
- More professionally related courses. Related to building and industry.»
- No»
- --»
- Change the attitude of profesors to help students properly. »
- Som nämnts, många grupparbeten och gärna i form av workshops som avslutas med en kort redovisning av alla grupper. På så sätt sätter man lite press på eleverna att faktiskt engagera sig. Ta bort så mycket av kateterundervisningen som möjligt, de få som kommer dit är ändå ointresserade för kunskapen går att få på annat håll.»
- Since we don"t have any compulsory courses but only elective compulsive courses, I found it difficult the first semester to get the feeling of belonging to a class. Now I think that I have one, and I also think it"s good that I have been able to design the program myself, but maybe to have some course that ost of the students take compulsory, or maybe just organize some activities for the class. That"s the only thing I have been a little bit disappointed in, that I still don"t know my classmates but the ones I already knew. »
- Inform students to a greater extent about the administrative procedures regarding the master thesis.»
- More involvment from the head of MP»

- It was difficult to find a Master thesis that wasn"t trivial a somewhat trivial case. MEI issues often concern strategic problems, which companies seldom present as they are too sensitive. Commercialization or marketing theses are no problem to get hold of but these regarding how to organize a firm approaching a major strategic change, or investigating new technologies, are harder to get.» (Not really but It took some time)
- It is not difficult to get a master thesis but it is not easy to find one that suit student.» (Yes)
- I found a thesis topic in the industry which was rejected by my coordinator. After which my proposal has been changed 3 times and the approval of the topic took 4 long months.

Genomsnitt: 3.96 - The proposal approval has taken more than 4 months long. The professors at the department were not ready to discuss my issues. The proposal approval system has changed and there is no clear cut instructions of the same. I hope this will be polished for the coming years.» (Not at all)
- I felt frustrated with my supervisor. he has so many students to be supervised and the advice that I got from him is always from another student who he teached» (Not so satisfied)
- The supervisor has not always been prepared for meetings and read what we agreed on.. The supervisor did not initially give me the freedom to plan my own thesis process, but wanted to steer it to a too large extent. This made me less motivated as I am used to manage and take responsibility for my own projects. » (Not so satisfied)
- It seams to lack enough time to supervise my work, and the initial conditions of the thesis were changed» (Not so satisfied)
- Have not gotten so much help. Long time for answering emails.» (Not so satisfied)

- Could be more interested and engaged..» (Neither/Nor)
- My supervisor is good, which I"m glad for.
But I have to tell you that the pages for how the master thesis works is far worse than they should be allowed to be! The information is spread across several pages, some telling things differentely than others. No where is there any good information to find on how to write a Proposal nor Planning report. No where was it to find how the process with a master thesis is done: what the student need to do and in what order. On the whole, this information should be totally renewed. As it is right now, it is just confusing.» (Neither/Nor)

- Haven"t really started as of yet.» (Neither/Nor)
- They are a little too busy. » (Satisfied)

- Once we (finally) got a supervisor, it"s worked good. He"s not that active, but we have not actively sought his advice either.» (Satisfied)

Comment for Question 46. While one might have the competence after completing the Master Program for a professional career, many students have trouble performing in a manner desired by employers. Among my acquaintances I time and time again hear that they find it difficult in recruitment situations to frame and solve problems in a limited time-frame. Many also find it difficult to explain what it is they can do and their field of specialty as well as asserting that they know what they"re talking about. These are two issues that I believe can be improved upon at the MEI programme, and other Master programmes.» (Probably)
- Hopefully in a few years.» (Probably)

- It is interesting but the connection between biomedical engineering and control is weak. I do not think that this is a good track since you lean so little about biomedical engineering and you don"t really need to know much about biomedical topics to work with the control related things. » (Probably not)
- I will probably have a job where I am very overqualified for, after 2-3 years unemployment, that is how my future looks like after spending 5 years at chalmers.» (Definitely not)
- I hope so, but probably not in a couple of years.» (No opinion)
- Hard to say.» (No opinion)
