This course provides a foundation for the two interrelated subjects of quality and maintenance. The course uses three different perspectives, where we start with the interrelation in-between customers´ needs and the enterprise's capability to develop new products. The course continues with the ability to use existing resources aimed at manufacturing products and finalize with the perspective of the user’s view on the product.

This course introduces the techniques and possibilities in modern experimental mechanics for the characterization of the mechanics of solid, porous, and granular materials using a range of physics techniques and full-field analyses. The course pays particular attention to full-field analyses using optical methods (with a focus on digital image correlation), x-ray and neutron imaging and scattering approaches, and wave propagation. The course includes both theoretical and practical parts, and involves study visits to MAX IV and ESS. Inverse analyses and digital image/signal processing in the context of experimental analyses are also covered.

This course provides an introduction to numerical linear algebra, including methods and principles for solving fundamental problems in linear algebra. The course covers matrix and vector norms, orthogonalization, projection, matrix factorizations, direct and iterative solvers, condition numbers, stability of a method, and complexity of an algorithm. Students learn to solve problems and are trained in implementing numerical methods in code. This course prepares students for further studies in numerical analysis, statistics, computer science, and image analysis.

This is the second elementary level Swedish language course at Lund University. This course studies Swedish language, covering the development of speaking, reading, and writing skills. Reading includes longer texts and exercises in listening comprehension to increase ability to understand the spoken language. Writing of short articles, oral presentations, and group discussions are used to increase communication skills.
