In the fourth industrial revolution the need for a lifelong learning in the engineering profession is immense. In addition to the vast need of new recruits, it is estimated that up to 40,000 existing engineers in the automotive industry will need some form of competence development over the next five years, according to Sveriges Ingenjörer. The demand for comprehensive but shorter courses to be able to mix work and individual engineering development, is something we have found successful with our [...]

The technology transformation within the automotive industry is immense. Some experts even say that until 2030, the world of mobility will have seen the greatest transformation change since the car replaced the horse at the beginning of the 20th century. Today we are experiencing the transition from the combustion engine to e-mobility – an important step towards a cleaner planet. The next much more radical change is the transition towards safer, smarter and finally autonomous cars. As the car [...]

Sweden’s first female civil engineer Vera Sandberg graduated from Chalmers University of Technology in 1917, she was the only woman amongst 500 men. Since then it has been a steady increase in the proportion of women taking a Master’s degree in engineering. Today there are 35 per cent women and 65 per cent men among the graduates. The total number of Master’s graduates has also increased over time and women make up a larger share of the increase than [...]

Are you an Embedded Software Developer with the following soft and hard skills? Inspire and are inspired by others. Do you love to learn new things and try to adopt ideas from other fellows as well as sharing your knowledge as well? Debugging skills. Finding your own and others bugs. Knowledgeable. In design patterns, code guidelines etc. Laziness, in a good way 🙂 In order to make things more efficient you need some portion of laziness. E.g automating things [...]

We have seen you working hard and now all the hardship has paid well, we’re proud to be your colleagues!  The title of the thesis is "Towards Accurate Estimation of Error Sensitivity in Computer Systems." Fault injection is an increasingly important method for assessing, measuringand observing the system-level impact of hardware and software faults in computer systems. This thesis presents the results of a series of experimental studies in which fault injection was used to investigate the impact [...]

Tesla has dropped the radar sensors from its semi-autonomous driving systems in model 3 and Model Y since May this year in USA. Would you dare to use the adaptive cruiser control in one of the models 3 or Y on a rainy day, let alone the autopilot? Most automakers and self-driving vehicle companies use three types of sensors: Cameras, radar and lidar. How do you think that Tesla has reasoned about their change? Are they on to something [...]
