Engineering

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.

This class focuses primarily on climate change and possible solutions such as systems for carbon removal and other types of fuels. It covers several topics including air pollution, gas emissions trends and sources, the integration of renewable energy systems, economics of climate change, and policies relating to climate change. The class explores how Germany and Europe could move towards net zero gas emissions, as well as any future likely scenarios and perspectives.

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 offers a study of the mechanism of radiation and propagation of electromagnetic waves both in free space as well as in a guided medium.

Requirements: Calculus I, Calculus II, Linear Algebra, Physics.

The course covers the design and properties of the electric power system during normal operation and during faults, and the impact of renewable generation. Central issues are possible control options during operation and how different types of instability limit power transfer capacity. The contents are lectured and studied through numeric exercises and practical laboratory tests that are preceded by computer simulations. The industrial computerized analysis of large systems is thus introduced but is combined with calculations by hand to review and interpret computer results. The following topics are reviewed: Construction and function of key components. Power electronic control and compensation; System representation: Single line diagram. Symmetrical components. Per unit normalization. Short-circuit MVA; System characteristics during normal operation, short-circuits, asymmetry and resonance. Angle and voltage stability. Computer dynamic simulations and load flow calculations. Control of voltage, frequency, active and reactive power. Relay protection; Study visit. Assumed prior knowledge: EIEF50, ESSF15 Electrical Engineering or EIEF35 Electrical Engineering, basic course, or EITF90 Electromagnetics and electronics.
