Engineering

This course covers theory and application of basic crystallography, structure of materials, and X-ray diffraction. 

The course is designed to equip students with experience, knowledge, and skills for succeeding in globally interdependent and culturally diverse workplaces. During the course, students are challenged to question, reflect upon, and respond thoughtfully to the issues they observe and encounter in the internship setting and local host environment. Professional and personal development skills as defined by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), such as critical thinking, teamwork, and diversity are cultivated. Assignments focus on building a portfolio that highlights those competencies and their application to workplace skills. The hybrid nature of the course allows students to develop their skills in a self-paced environment with face-to-face meetings and check-ins to frame their intercultural internship experience. Students complete 45 hours of in-person and asynchronous online learning activities and 225-300 hours at the internship placement.

The course covers professional communication skills, including email etiquette, ordinary differential equations, informal English conversation, and oral presentations. It also provides a study of the general form and nature, effective graphic design, and ethics for a technical publication.

This course provides students with the opportunity to address complex problems identified by industry, community, and government organizations. With mentorship from a major industry partner and an academic lead, students integrate their academic skills and knowledge by working in diverse teams across disciplinary boundaries. Students research, analyze and present solutions to a real-world problem, and build on their interpersonal and transferable skills by engaging with and learning from experts in the field.

The course describes pharmaceutical products and production, with an emphasis on physicochemical and chemical engineering questions. It also describes what happens to the drug product in the living organism when administered through different routes. The course focuses on different pharmaceutical formulations such as solutions, suspensions, emulsions, granulates, tablets, capsules, aerosols, and creams. The course gives an overview of the quality aspects of the pharmaceutical industry, and special requirements on the pharmaceutical industry when it comes to demands from authorities both Swedish and international. The laboratory assignments illustrate important formulation aspects and how to evaluate the quality and physical-chemical properties of the formulation. 

This course provides research training for exchange students. Students work on a research project under the guidance of assigned faculty members. Through a full-time commitment, students improve their research skills by participating in the different phases of research, including development of research plans, proposals, data analysis, and presentation of research results. A pass/no pass grade is assigned based a progress report, self-evaluation, midterm report, presentation, and final report.
