Course Description
This is an interdisciplinary course that addresses sustainability, climate change and how to combine economic development with a healthy environment. Students explore greening the economy and the sustainable development goals on four levels – individual, business, city, and nation, and look at the relationships between these levels. Practical examples of the complexities and solutions across each level are discussed. A particular focus is placed on examples from Scandinavia, but the course also features examples from Europe and around the world.

Course Description
Modelling is often an important and time consuming part of an industrial control project. It is also important to describe the fundamental limitations given by the dynamics in sensors and actuators, and by measurement noise and actuator limitations. The course projects are typically performed on real model processes available at the department. In some cases the experiments are done at another department or in industry. The control design is first developed for a mathematical model. Software tools are used during the modelling, design, and simulation, and during the implementation. Some examples of model processes that may be used in the projects are inverted pendulums, model helicopters, quadruple tank processes, and industrial robots. Lego Mindstorm NXT is often used as an implementation platform. Project meetings are held regularly during the course. In the project the students must search for knowledge and information independently. In some cases regular seminars or guest lecturers are included in the course. The projects results and experiences are reported both in written and oral form.

Course Description
The course reviews the shaping of Swedish industrial culture and society from 1800 to 2000. The topics addressed include the transformation of the agricultural production system and the development of an infrastructure for transport, communications, and power transmission. The significance of technical change for the transformation of Sweden from a poor country to an industrialized and democratic society with a well-developed welfare state, Sweden's military-industrial complex, and the concept of the Swedish model are analyzed in the course.

Course Description
This course teaches basic computational methods for solving simple and common mathematical problems through computers and numerical software. This includes the construction, application, and analysis of basic computational algorithms. Mathematical models are often written as systems of linear and nonlinear equations and differential equations. Students discretize such equations by constructing computable approximations, and are expected to implement and apply such algorithms independently.

Course Description
This course explores the intersection of biological, chemical, and geological processes that shape the soil environment. In an era of unprecedented human-induced environmental change, research in this field is advancing rapidly. The course explores the processes underlying biogeochemical cycles of carbon and nutrients, soil formation and erosion, and examines how human activities alter these processes. Topics include microbial and plant-mediated carbon and nutrient cycling, the role of biological diversity in biogeochemical processes, the importance of mycorrhiza for plant nutrition, soil food webs, and exploration into how new techniques are advancing studies of the soil environment. The course is designed to facilitate critical discussion and analysis of various soil processes, and improve research, dissemination, and presentation skills.

Course Description
The main aim of the internship is that the student gains general work experience, practical training in biology-related work, and creates contacts with potential future employers. Students get to know a workplace that specializes in research or biological applications and they are expected to participate in the every-day routines of the workplace. A supervisor at the workplace is responsible for organizing the student's work during the work period. Daily work should be planned in advance together with the supervisor. The workplace must be approved by the course leader. By the end of the course, the work is reported by a written report as well as an oral presentation.
