Course development

Kursen fortsatte i nästan samma format som året innan. Studenterna jobbade i grupper av 4 på projekt som definierades av företag eller forskargrupper. En halvtidsutvärdering gjordes på alla projekt i mitten av kursen. Studenterna jobbade på bra men det fanns olika typer av utmaningar när det gäller infrastruktur och tillgång till beräkningskraft. Grupperna visade stor intresse för att hitta lösningar till komplexa problem samt spenderade rätt så mycket tid på att få samarbetet och fördelningen av jobbet inom grupperna rättvis. Förändringarna som gjordes var nya typer av projekt och mer handledning av grupperna med hjälp av postdoktorer.

All project topics were completely new. We also had new companies such as Ericsson joining. There was more focus on helping students to plan their time and also support on how to write project reports and prepare for the oral evaluation. They kept weekly calendars on who-did-what and needed to append that to the report at the end. More time was given to the oral examination and there was a higher requirement on discussing the progress with the opposing group.

This year we have had more examples from companies and students needed to work more closely with the opposing group. We also introduced the halv-time evaluation and consultancy hours.

New companies and supervisors for the projects were introduced and more time was spent on giving report feedback.

New project topics and supervisors have been included in the course. More time spent on supervision

This course was given for the first time in 2018. The graduation rate should be 90% and not 0.9%.
