En hektisk start som er nya GA<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jag b\u00f6rjade min nya tj\u00e4nst som Grundutbildningsansvarig (GA) f\u00f6r ITM-skolan i januari. Det \u00e4r ett stort uppdrag att arbeta med skolans cirka 25 program: sju civilingenj\u00f6rsutbildningar, tre h\u00f6gskoleingenj\u00f6rsutbildningar och upp till femton masterprogram\/sp\u00e5r. Samtidigt ska GA-rollen svara upp mot de komplexa undervisningsbehoven hos ITM\u2019s sex institutioner. Det har varit m\u00e5nga m\u00f6ten med programansvariga, studierektorer, utbildningskansliet, prefekter, skolledning, fakultetsn\u00e4mnd, GA och vice GA p\u00e5 KTH:s \u00f6vriga skolor och m\u00e5nga andra som \u00e4r engagerade i undervisningen p\u00e5 ITM och KTH.<\/p>\n

Samtidigt som jag s\u00e4tter mig in i min nya roll genomg\u00e5r KTH stora f\u00f6r\u00e4ndringar. Skolornas nya fakultetsn\u00e4mnder ska hitta sitt s\u00e4tt att arbeta. Nya rutiner och processer m\u00e5ste tas fram n\u00e4r vi l\u00e4mnar gamla arbetss\u00e4tt bakom oss.<\/p>\n

Det \u00e4r ocks\u00e5 en tid som pr\u00e4glas av budgetrestriktioner. ITM-skolan har som m\u00e5l att anta cirka 10 procent fler studenter \u00e4n tidigare f\u00f6r att ekonomin ska f\u00f6rb\u00e4ttras. Antagnings- och urvalsprocessen f\u00f6r masterprogrammen har p\u00e5g\u00e5tt under de senaste veckorna, medan antagningsprocessen f\u00f6r andra program sker senare under v\u00e5ren. Visionen f\u00f6r undervisningen vid ITM \u00e4r att uppr\u00e4tth\u00e5lla den h\u00f6ga kvaliteten och det fantastiska undervisningsarbete som g\u00f6rs, \u00e4ven i tider av utmanande budget.<\/p>\n

F\u00f6r mig personligen har det varit en intensiv tid d\u00e5 min nya GA-roll sammanf\u00f6ll med undervisning i master- och doktorandkurser (inklusive en veckas doktorandkurs om h\u00e5llbara energiomst\u00e4llningar) och mycket har h\u00e4nt i mina forskningsprojekt: som att presentera min forskning i Riksdagen, presentera projektresultat f\u00f6r Riksbanken, boklansering och slutrapportering f\u00f6r IRIS. N\u00e4r vi g\u00e5r mot v\u00e5ren p\u00e5g\u00e5r mycket arbete med kursrevideringar och kvalitetss\u00e4kringsarbete f\u00f6r undervisningen. Men n\u00e4r dagarna blir ljusare kommer vissa av mina andra uppdrag f\u00f6rhoppningsvis ocks\u00e5 att bli l\u00e4ttare och mer hanterbara.<\/p>\n

A busy start as your new GA<\/h2>\n

I started my new post as Director of First and Second Cycle Education (Grundutbildningsansvarig GA) for the ITM school in January. It is a big task to oversee the roughly 25 programmes of the school, namely seven MSc in engineering programmes, three BSc in engineering programmes and up to 15 Master programmes \/ tracks. At the same time, the GA role requires responding to the complex teaching needs of the six departments at the ITM school. It has been a busy time meeting with programme directors, heads of teaching, office for student affairs, heads of departments, school management, faculty board, GAs and Deputy GAs at KTH\u2019s other schools and many others who are involved at teaching at ITM and KTH.<\/p>\n

While I find my way into the new role, at lot is changing at KTH. The schools’ faculty boards are newly formed and have to establish their way of working. New routines, new timelines and new processes have to be developed, to replace some earlier ways of working.<\/p>\n

It is also a time that is formed by budget constraints. Due to the budget situation, the ITM School has the aim to admin about 10 percent more students than before. The admission and selection process for Master\u2019s programmes has been on-going over the last few weeks, while the admission process for other programmes will happen later in the spring. The overall vision for teaching at ITM is to upkeep the high quality and the great teaching work that is being done, even in times of challenging budgets.<\/p>\n

For me personally it has been an intense time as my new GA role coincided with teaching duties for Master and PhD courses (including a one-week long PhD course on sustainable energy transitions) and a lot happened in my research projects: presenting my research at the Swedish Parliament, presenting project results several times for the Swedish Central Bank, a book launch and the end of IRIS reporting. As we move towards the spring, a lot of work on course revisions and quality assurance work for teaching is coming up. Yet, as the days get lighter some of my other duties will hopefully also get lighter and more manageable.<\/p>\n
