Kursens utveckling

Inga väsentliga förändringar jämfört med föregående kursomgång

This year the lectures were online. Some of the exercises were also online. In addition, the lab session were all at KTH instead of at Swerim and Sandvik Coromant. The exam format was also changed to a home exam format. All the changes listed above are not permanent but solely because of Corona. Other changes were the addition of study questions in form a quizzes after each lecture. The exercises for the exercises were also distributed ahead of the exercise session instead of at the session as for previous year.

Compared to last course offering, the number of laboratory sessions has increased with one session and laboratory reports have been made compulsory for passing. This is also the first year with goal-oriented grading criteria (målrelaterade betygskriterier) which changed the structure of the written exam.

Compared to the last course round the part focusing on additive manufacturing has been extended. There is also a new laboratory session on powder characterization which is held at Swerim in Kista in their powder laboratory. The exercise sessions have also been restructured so that the topic of the exercises align with the content presented on the lecture the same week.
