They didn鈥檛 manage to complete the project as intended, but the summer job at Newton Nordic still exceeded their expectations. 鈥淣ow I鈥檓 sure that the education I chose was exactly right for me鈥�, says LiU student Viktor Uvesten.

The ten-year, highly productive collaboration between 福利姬, ABB Corporate Research, ABB Robotics, Saab Aeronautics and Scania is to be continued and extended in the Vinnova-funded competence centre, LINK-SIC.

福利姬 is one of several universities around the world working together to improve engineering education. Taking inspiration from LiU, several engineering programmes in Brazil are undergoing radical change.

What can an engineering career involve? First-year master鈥檚 students of applied physics and electrical engineering are gaining experience through their first development project 鈥� programming the Yumi collaborative robot from ABB.

Professor Svante Gunnarsson of the Division of Automatic Control at the Department of Electrical Engineering (ISY) has been awarded the Institute of Technology鈥檚 prize for outstanding teaching.

Vinnova is investing more than SEK 30 million in a new competence centre in autonomous systems and advanced mathematical methods at LiU. Climate change and global security are to be the focus of the research groups.
