Course contents

The course aims to provide an understanding of the subject area of industrial transformation and technological innovation, as well as how the transformation of societal and industrial systems can be analyzed. Here, the discussion and analysis of the critical societal challenges identified in ME2321 Engineering and Global Challenges is deepened. The level of analysis is the systems that include, among others, companies, the state, and academia (i.e., a meso level). The course covers, for example, socio-technical systems, path dependency, technological paradigms, incremental and radical innovation, and the role that different actors play in industrial transformation and technological innovation.

Intended learning outcomes

Upon completion of the course, students should be able to:

1. Describe, explain, and use concepts, models, and theories to analyze industrial transformation and technological innovation, including their application to the development of Swedish industry

2. Analyze how societal challenges affect industrial transformation and technological innovation, as well as how industrial transformation and technological innovation affect society's ability to address these challenges.
