On this page, you can track the course's development over time. Once the course analysis is published, data for each course offering is displayed, including the number of registered students, course results, and planned improvements for the next session. All course syllabuses and course memos are shown on the page Archive.

The course is centered around the tutorial/homework assignments/computer labs. These are reviewed and refreshed on a yearly basis. This round more emphasis was put on compact models and quantum effects. In general I try to use NanoHub and COMSOL as the main tools even though some coding parts in Matlab and Python remain.Examination grade

One out of six homework or lab sessions in total was cancelled since it dealt with numerical methods outside the direct scope of the learning objectives. That content could be considered as prerequisites and the course plan should be updated to reflect suitable background courses in a better way. The grading scale was amended to reflect five homework assignments worth 80% and a final exam that completed the remaining 20%. Grading was done based on a cumulative effort after homework and final exam. This was a minor change from previous years.Examination grade

More material that supported the Python environment for the weekly assignments was added. In this way it became optional to use either Python or Matlab for the assignments according to the student's own preference and previous experience. Still some student had very limited experience in either software environment. A short (30 minute) oral examination was added, to complete the weekly assignments. Assignment completion counted as 80% of the course requirements and the exam counted for the remaining 20%. Examination questions were predefined to ensure fairness in the individual examination sessions. All questions were connected to the homework assignment. All lecture slides have been renewed, some content has been added. Significant parts towards numerical methods and electro-magnetic field theory have been cancelled or simplified, since they were not inline with the intended learning outcomes.Examination grade

course offering. The course was designed with continuous assessment, where two lectures per week where followed by one homework assignment. One tutorial session per week provided an opportunity to solve the HW with support from the teacher and in discussion with peers. The tutorials were also used for individualized feedback on submitted HW. The tutorials were now reintroduced, for a few years they were not offered. I am convinced that this was a significant improvement.Course data has been registered manually
