Workshop at MTS21, (Medisin-Teknisk Senter) on Thursday 3 March 2016
The project IKTiSU (IKT i sivilingeniørutdanningen / ICT in graduated engineers education, ) has been running since 2011 with aim of enhanced profession related ICT skills for graduated engineers throughout their study. In these 4 years more then 40 pilot-projects have been supported in a bottom up approach. These projects have resulted in changes in course descriptions, course material and assessments .Today, all graduated engineers students are exposed to several of these changes.
In this seminar we want to summaries our experiment and look forward towards further development and integration of professional ICT in the graduated engineers education. Besides the experiences from IKTiSU, we present experiences from Chalmers, http://www.chalmers.se. We also present OpenDreamKit, http://opendreamkit.org, a EU Horizon 2020 sponsered Research Infrastructure project which promotes collaboration and sharing of computational methods accross disciplines. The program consists of both presentations and group discussions (see below).
The seminar is free of charge. Registration is required due to lunch orders and limited space. Registration deadline March 1, 16:00.
Everyone interested is welcomed!

Abstract:
Dr. Mikael Enelund received his PhD from Chalmers University of Technology in 1996 and was awarded Docent degree in 2006. His research has focused on the development of fractional calculus as an engineering tool, modelling and optimization of damping and mechanical engineering education development. In 2005 he was appointed head of the MScEng program in mechanical engineering at Chalmers. Under his leadership, the program was awarded Centre of excellence of higher education 2008 by the National Swedish Agency for Higher Education.
Abstract OpenDreamKit:
Project Jupyter (https://jupyter.org) and OpenDreamKit (http://opendreamkit.org) aim to provide tools and environments to facilitate computational work and communication. The Jupyter Notebook is an interactive document with code, prose, mathematics and rich output, including images and interactive content. With notebooks, instructors can illustrate concepts with code examples and students can follow along, modifying their own version of the notebook. Notebooks can also be used as assignments with the help of tools such as nbgrader. OpenDreamKit will produce Virtual Research Environments for mathematics, aiming to ease installation of software for researchers and students, as well as improve the reproducibility of computational results.
