Bokslutskommentar Skolan för Teknikvetenskap Resultat 2005

Skolan totalt Skolans bokslut för år 2005 visar ett underskott på 5 Mkr, att jämföra med prognosen som har varit 7 Mkr i underskott. Skolan har därmed hållit sin budget och också kunnat förbättra läget något. De olika institutionerna kommenteras i mer detalj nedan, men vissa övergripande kommentarer kan göras. När det gäller grundutbildningen märks överlag en minskning av GRU-intäkterna som framförallt kan hänföras till att den minskade intagningen på civilingenjörsprogrammen nu slår igenom. Dock kan intäktsökningar inom några områden också noteras, främst på grund av insatser för att öka genomströmningen och i någon mån ett större söktryck och en ökad antagning till masterprogrammet i engineering mechanics. Matematiks nätbaserade kurser är en stor enskild post i GRU-ekonomin. Sammantaget slutar GRU-ekonomin på -2 Mkr. De största strukturella bekymren som är orsak till detta finns på fysik. För att råda bot på detta och förbättra möjligheterna att styra verksamheten har fysikinstitutionen omorganiserats från 1 januari 2006. Dessa åtgärder får dock effekt först 2006 och senare. I bedömningen av det negativa resultatet inom forskningen skall vägas in att av bokföringstekniska skäl belastas matematiks FoFu resultat med en negativ post på 5.7 Mkr. Med hänsyn till detta är FoFu-ekonomin i stora drag i balans. (Gustav Amberg, dekan) Farkost och Flyg Resultatet 2005 är på global institutionsnivå i stort sett enligt budget. Omsättningen ökade jämfört med 2005 med 6 Mkr, framförallt till följd av ökande bidrag och intäkter från grundutbildningen. Bidragsdelen har ökat med ca 4 Mkr jämfört med 2005 och grundutbildningsintäkterna med ca 1.5 Mkr jämfört med samma år. Ökningen i grundutbildningen är till stor del relaterad till omläggning av programmen och deras fördjupningar, en rad kurser har getts två gånger. Förskotten har ökat till följd av ett antal nya EU-projekt, Gröna Tåget-projektet, m.fl. (Peter Göransson, prefekt) Hållfasthetslära Det totala underskottet i bokslutet för 2005 uppgick till 1731 tkr. Av rektor medges att institutionen för satsningen på biomekanikverksamheten tar i anspråk 1019 tkr varje år 2004-2006. Underskottet för institutionens egentliga verksamhet blev 1080 tkr, vilket är praktiskt taget detsamma som det av rektor medgivna beloppet. Detta var också det budgeterade beloppet för 2005. Den övriga delen av underskottet (711 tkr) hänför sig till FPIRC och avser medel som egentligen skall betraktas som förskott, men som vid FPIRCs inrättande felaktigt kom att hänföras till myndighetskapitalet. Avvikelsen från budgeterad HÅS/HÅP-intäkt under 2005 (utfall 7112 tkr jämfört med budget 8135 tkr) beror på ett minskat antal studenter i två kurser (4C1025 och 4C1055). När det gäller 4C1025 är minskningen tillfällig och det antal studenter som följer kursen under 2006 är i samma storleksordning som under tidigare år. Trots detta underskott i grundutbildningsmedel gick institutionens egentliga verksamhet helt enligt budget. (Fred Nilsson, prefekt)

Fysik Institutionens resultat stannar vid – 3,8 Msek för år 2005. Resultat för år 2005 är därmed mer negativt än den reviderade budgeten, men visar på oförändrat underskott jämfört med halvårsresultatet. Det främsta skälet till avvikelsen från budget är ett helt oförutsett underskott på en av forskningsavdelningarna, som visar ett resultat på -2,3 Msek, främst genom underskott på ett EU-PDS-XADS-kontrakt, samt övertrassering på FoFu-kontot. I övrigt beror nedgången jämfört med 2004 på att flera forskningsavdelningar i år använder inbesparade medel för sin drift, samt att MSI-tilldelningen halverats. Vad gäller inkomsterna har anslaget till gundutbildningen minskat med ca 1 Msek sedan förra året, men utfallet ligger ändå över KTH-budgeten. Historiska skäl gjorde att vi överskattade grundutbildningsintäkterna med ca 0,5 Msek. En del av nedgången beror på omläggning av en stor kurs från sent på hösten till tidigt nästa vår, samt en sänkning av kursfaktorerna för grundkurserna på F, som inte var kända vid budgettillfället. En viss svåröverskådlighet vidlåder årets resultat om man jämför med resultatet för 2004, eftersom två avdelningar, Reaktorteknologi och Kärnkraftsäkerhet, har överförts från EGI till institutionen per 1 juli. De för med sig ca 2 Msek i negativt myndighetskapital. De externa finansiärerna har ökat sina bidrag i förhållande till 2004 med 14 Msek. En god del av detta tillskrivs de externa medel de nya avdelningarna från EGI för med sig. Vi har kontraktsfordringar på 100 Msek, vilket är en ökning från 2004 med ca 22,5 Msek , av vilket de nya avdelningarna står för 12,5 Msek. Totalt har intäkterna ökat med 15,6 Msek. På kostnadssidan har personal- liksom lokalkostnaderna ökat eftersom vi har fler personer anställda med två nya avdelningar. Resor har en ökande andel av kostnaderna, och får ses som ett resultat av ökad aktivitet. Konsulttjänsterna har ökat på grund av att två större serviceavtal för tung utrustning har tecknats, främst för Nanolaboratoriet. Den totala kostnadsökningen är 19,6 Msek av vilken gemensamma kostnader (inkl. HSG) ökat med 5,2 Msek. För att få kontroll över grundutbildningens ekonomi, som alltjämt brottas med höga kostnader, har institutionen från 2006 delats i tre delar, där varje del är ansvarig för var sin bit av grundutbildningen liksom naturligtvis Fofu delen. Vi räknar med att detta skall ge möjlighet till en bättre ekonomisk styrning av fysik vid SCI- skolan under de kommande åren. (Håkan Snellman, prefekt) Matematik FoFu uppvisar ett överskott på 238 kkr. GRU visar ett överskott på 1654 kkr. Överskottet på GRU beror helt på framgången med nätkurserna, som givit upphov till ett nettotillskott på cirka 10,6 Mkr. Utan intäkterna från nätkurserna, hade GRU gått med ett underskott på 9 Mkr. Detta är bekymmersamt, då framtida inkomster från nätkurser är osäkra. De sjunkande fasta GRU-intäkterna beror på avsevärt lägre intag av nya studenter. Matematikinstitutionen är extremt känslig för växlingar i storleken på GRU-intäkterna. (Anders Lindquist, prefekt) Mekanik KTH Mekaniks resultat 2005 slutade på -1.537 kkr, vilket ska jämföras med det godkända prognostiserade underskottet på -2.700 kkr, och därför kan anses som bra. Trots det något negativa resultatet så har institutionen ett hälsosamt myndighetskapital på 12752 kkr, vilket motsvarar ungefär 20% av omsättningen. Kommentar till intäkter och intäktsförändringar jämfört med budget 2005. GRU intäkterna ökade kraftigt jämfört med prognosen, vilket berodde på väsentligt ökade intäkter på de högre strömningskurserna (flera studenter), samt ökad genomströmning på många av de grundläggande mekanik kurserna. Intäkterna på FoFu externt minskade 2005, mest på grund av att Faxénlabboratoriet avslutades vid halvårsskiftet, vilket i stort sett följde budget. Kommentar till kostnader och kostnadsförändringar jämfört med budget 2005. Lönekostnaderna minskade med ung 2000 kkr jämfört med prognosen, vilket berodde på senarelagda anställningar

samt en ökad kostnadsmedvetenhet. Uppdragsforskningen ökade något. Avskrivningarna är på en jämn nivå och finansieras till allra största del av externa bidrag. (Dag Henningson, prefekt)

Budgetkommentar Skolan för Teknikvetenskap 2006

Skolan totalt Skolan budgeterar med ett litet överskott för år 2006, och har därmed vänt det negativa utfallet för 2005. Den förbättrade situationen kan hänföras till många olika åtgärder som inleddes under 2005 och som nu börjar få effekt. En sådan är att omorganisera den tidigare fysikinstitutionen i tre nya mindre enheter. Detta ska leda till en mer effektiv styrning av verksamheten och ekonomin i de delarna som till en del bör visa sig redan under 2006. De olika institutionerna kommenteras i mer detalj nedan, men vissa allmänna kommentarer kan göras. När det gäller grundutbildningen kan det nämnas att styrningen av grundutbildningens kostnader successivt har börjat göras på annat sått så att en säkrare planering kan göras. På flera håll får nu också vissa personalminskningar genom pensioneringar genomslag. Överlag syns en minskning av GRU-intäkterna som framförallt kan hänföras till att den minskade intagningen på civilingenjörs-programmen nu slår igenom fullt ut. En stor enskild post i GRU-budgeten är matematiks nätbase-rade kurser. Inkomsterna från dessa är med nödvändighet svåra att prediktera. I budgeten har förut-satts att inkomsterna blir lika stora som 2005. Med tanke på att flera nya initiativ är på gång i den vägen är detta att betrakta som en försiktig uppskattning. Den totala GRU-budgeten är negativ med drygt 2 Mkr. De ytterligare strukturella problem som behöver åtgärdas finns till största delen på det tidigare fysik, och åtgärder för att hantera dessa har satts igång i och med omorganisationen av det gamla fysik i tre nya enheter. Inom forskningen är ekonomin över lag i balans. En ökad extern finansiering balanseras i någon mån av minskade fakultetsmedel. Totalt förväntas ett svagt överskott på forskningsfinansieringen på drygt 2 Mkr. (Gustav Amberg, dekan) Farkost och Flyg Budgeten för 2006 är i balans och läget är ljust till följd av flera nya projekt, både de som beviljades i slutet av 2005 och ett flertal som är under slutförhandling och kontraktsskrivning vid ingången till 2006. ECO2, det Vinnova-finansierade kompetenscentrat, kommer att starta under våren med en stegvis uppbyggnad under 2006/2007/2008. Nya VR-projekt är beviljade och startar 2006 och ytterligare ett par NFFP-projekt är under diskussion och kontraktsskrivning. Omsättningen kommer att vara ungefär den samma som 2005 p.g.a att prof Lars Berglunds verksam-het genom Rektors beslut har flyttat per den 1 januari 2006. Bortfallet av dessa intäkter kompenseras i stort sett av de nya projekten. (Peter Göransson, prefekt) Hållfasthetslära Det totala underskottet i budgeten för 2006 uppgår till 1271 tkr, att jämföra med underskottet för 2005, som var 1731 tkr. Av rektor medges att institutionen för satsningen på biomekanikverksam-heten tar i anspråk 1019 tkr varje år 2004-2006. Underskottet för institutionens egentliga verksam-het blir enligt budget 1066 tkr, vilket är praktiskt taget detsamma som det av rektor medgivna be-loppet. Den egentliga verksamheten går därför under 2006 med samma tillåtna underskott som under 2005. Den övriga delen av beräknat underskott (211 tkr) hänför sig till FPIRC och avser medel som egentligen skall betraktas som förskott, men som vid FPIRCs inrättande felaktigt kom att hänföras till myndighetskapitalet. Under 2005 var motsvarande underskott 711 tkr.

I hållfasthetsläras senaste prognosöversikt bedömdes HÅS/HÅP-intäkterna bli 8140 tkr under bud-getåret 2006. Denna bedömning ligger fast. Avvikelsen från den ursprungliga budgeten under 2005 (utfall 7112 tkr jämfört med budget 8135 tkr) beror på ett minskat antal studenter i två kurser (4C1025 och 4C1055). När det gäller 4C1025 är minskningen tillfällig och det antal studenter som följer kursen under 2006 är i samma storleksordning som under tidigare år. (Fred Nilsson, prefekt) Fysik Totalbudgeten för den nya institutionen Fysik visar på ett negativt resultat om ca - 3 Mkr för 2006. Forskningsavdelningarna vid institutionen visar alla utom partikel-astropartikelfysik och medicinsk teknik ett överskott eller en nollbudget. För nämnda avdelningar används en mindre del av tidigare ackumulerade överskott. Under 2005 upphörde finansieringen av tjänster för personal från f.d. Manne Siegbahn Institutet, denna minskade finansiering slår fullt ut under 2006. Detta motsvarar 3,4 tjänster. Av dessa kan en tjänst helt finansieras av undervisning och inbesparade forskningsme-del, medan 2,4 heltidsekvivalenter har i budgeten lagts med finansiering via grundutbildningen, som därmed genererar merparten av ovanstående underskott. Ytterligare 1,25 heltidsekvivalenter rör heltidsundervisande personal. Totala undervisningsvolymen i kurser som ges av den nya institutio-nen Fysik har för denna personalkategori minskat i samband med uppdelningen av den gamla insti-tutionen fysik. Den i budgeten utlagda HÅS/HÅP inkomsten inkluderar inte eventuella inkomster från undervisning på de andra fysikinstitutionerna. Målet är att under budgetåret 2006 öka undervisningsinkomsterna och därmed förbättra resultatet för innevarande år jämfört med nu lagd budget. Stora ansträngningar har också gjorts för att redu-cera lokalkostnaderna ytterligare. (Bengt Lund-Jensen, prefekt) Teoretisk Fysik Institutionen för teoretisk fysik budgeterar ett underskott på 965 Kkr för 2006. Den totala omsätt-ningen är på 23, 3 Mkr och lönekostnaderna ligger på 14,4 Mkr. Tidigare strukturproblem för gamla fysik institutionen har väsentligen bestått av för höga kostnader som belastat grundutbildningen. Detta har i den framlagda budgeten motiverat en rad åtgärder: Lärare har lånats ut till matematik vilket sparar in lön motsvarande ungefär en kvarts tjänst, underut-nyttjade undervisningslokaler har sagts upp, samt all lokalhyra för kontor har flyttats från Gru till Fofu. Vidare har kontorslokaler sagts upp, så att den totala lokalhyran har minskat med ca 0,5 Mkr. Ett system har införts där utgifterna från Gru överensstämmer med inkomsterna genom att förutbe-stämda kostnader budgeteras för undervisningen. Efter dessa åtgärder utgör nu Gru-andelen en mind-re andel av den budgeterade förlusten. Tre pensionsavgångar kommer under de närmsta tre åren som kommer att väsentligt lätta på löne-kostnaderna. Trots den budgeterade förlusten väntas samtliga avdelningar att stå kvar på ett positivt myndighetska-pital efter 2006. (Mats Wallin, prefekt) Tillämpad fysik Applied Physics redovisar ett svagt överskott för 2006 men under ytan döljer sig avsevärda skillnader mellan de olika verksamhetsgrenarna. De flesta avdelningar går bra eller +/- noll. Bekymmer finns på Kemisk Fysik, Nanolabbet samt Grundutbildningen, som alla dras med negativa ingående balanser samt negativa resultat de senaste åren. Dessutom har avdelningen för Kvantoptik (under avveckling) negativ ingående balans. Målet med årets budget har varit att nå (nästan) noll-resultat för 2006 på dessa verksamhetsgrenar, vilket lyckats. Speciellt bekymmersam är grundutbildningen, där Applied Physics dessutom fått ansvaret för det ge-mensamma grundutbildningslaboratoriet. Genom signifikanta nedskärningar och omkonteringar av lokaler (ca 2.0 Mkr) samt nedskärning av grundutbildningens betalning till professorers löner (ca 1.1 Mkr, utan motsvarande minskning av undervisningsskyldighet) ter sig grundutbildningsbudgeten vara på väg mot noll-resultat. De facto betalar avdelningarnas forskningsbudgetar en stor del av kalaset.

Osäkerhet återstår dock huruvida undervisningen kan genomföras på ett rationellt sätt med nu givna förutsättningar eller om extra resurser måste allockeras pga t.ex. schematekniska överlappsproblem. En detaljerad analys pågår, med målet att ha en bättre bild av läget i mars. Vidare utnyttjas ytterligare ca 0.6 Mkr av forskningsmedel från "plus"-avdelningar som används för special-subvention av diverse gemensamma verksamheter. Kontentan är att vi i år brandskattar avdel-ningarnas forskningsmedel för att uppnå en total nollbudget, något som naturligtvis är långsiktigt osunt. Vi hoppas emellertid att årets budgetsanering lägger grunden för balanserade och osubventione-rade budgetar inom samtliga verksamhetsgrenar nästa år. (Hans Hertz, prefekt) Matematik I budgeten har vi räknat med ungefär samma intäkter från nätkurser som under 2005. Uppskatt-ningen är osäker och behöver säkert uppdateras under året. Vi räknar med något större inflöde av externa medel. Med dessa ingångsvärden budgeterar vi ett totalt positivt resultat på 4,5 Mkr.

Mekanik Institutionen ser ut att kunna vända de två senaste årens underskott till ett positivt resultat om 350 kkr 2006. Vår omsättning minskar något, från 62.9 mkr 2005, till 61.6 mkr. Kommentar till intäkter och intäktsförändringar i budget 2006. Intäktssidan minskar proportionellt mellan de olika intäktskategorierna, glädjande är att institutionen har lyckats bibehålla en stark ex-ternfinansiering trots Faxénlaboratoriets utfasning under 2005. Utfallet gällande våra VR ansök-ningar var positivt. Trots ökade fakirpoäng så minskar institutionens totala fakirmedel. Omlägg-ningen av ersättning för FOFU-ram missgynnar institutionen. Vi budgeterar för minskade HÅS/HÅP under 2006, det finns dock osäkerhet beträffande hur mycket vi minskar i förhållande till 2005. Våra finansiella intäkter förväntas omsätta ungefär lika mycket 2006 som 2005. Kommentar till kostnader och kostnadsförändringar i budget 2006. Tack vare en snabb förmåga att anpassa kostnader efter intäkter så minskar lönekostnaden med ca 2 mkr under 2006. Lönerna är uppräknad med 2,5%. Lokalkostnaderna är uppräknad med 2,1%. Vår HSG avgift minskar något under 2006. Vi budgeterar för skolgemensamma kostnader om 200 kkr. (Dan Henningson, prefekt)

Summary

A two-year Master’s program in aerospace engineering at KTH is proposed. The main motivationis a European aerospace market in strong expansion, combined with the fact that the Swedishengineering degree (civilingenjör) is currently not accepted at the Master’s level in the mainaerospace companies. The overall objective is therefore to create a program mainly for Swedishstudents and European exchange students giving a degree that is compatible with other Euro-pean degrees in aerospace.

The proposed program is based on the current programs (fördjupningar) in aeronautics(FLT), lightweight structures (LKR) and systems engineering (SYS), with a current total of 60-70 students every year. The program consists of a basic curriculum followed by four differentspecializations - aeronautics, space, structures and systems. The Space program is new to KTH,but is based on the combined strength of several different departments. As a result, only a fewnew courses are required in order to create an aerospace program of international standard.

The new Master’s program is expected to attract a large number of students from otheruniversities, both nationally and internationally, for a number of reasons. The brand "aerospace”has a general appeal to students. The program will be unique among the Nordic countries, andthe current programs (fördjupningar) already attract a large number of exchange students. Anadditional benefit for KTH is that the multidisciplinary character of the program will make thestudents well prepared to continue towards a doctorate in aerospace or a related topic in appliedmechanics.

Introduction

Aeronautical engineering education and research at KTH has strong traditions, and was estab-lished as early as 1919. The early years involved a slow but steady increase in activities withnew laboratories built following a government decision to appoint the first professor in aero-nautics in 1931. During the second world war and the following years, expansion was rapidwith new industries developing and expanding in both the military and the civil sector. Sincethe formation of Saab in 1937 over 4000 aircraft of many different types have been produced.

Since the 1960s aeronautical engineering has involved an increasing share of space relatedtopics including design and development of spacecraft and new applications for space vehiclessuch as communication, navigation and exploration. Many of the major Swedish companiessuch as Saab, Ericsson Microwave, and Volvo Aero Corporation are also involved in space appli-cations. Students trained in the aeronautical program at KTH often end up working in the spacedivisions of these companies.

KTH has been the main supplier of aeronautical engineers to Swedish industry since theprogram started. KTH is the only Swedish university with a dedicated undergraduate program,graduate program and appointed professors in aeronautical engineering. The program at KTHis also unique in the Nordic countries, except for the University of Helsinki which offers a smallaeronautical program. There is no aeronautics education in neither Denmark nor Norway andthe Norwegian Air Force has been sending their aeronautical engineers for education at KTH formore than 30 years.

After Sweden joined the European Union (EU) in 1995, there has been a steady growth inincoming students desiring to study aeronautics at KTH. Most of the exchange students are fromFrance and Germany, but students from Spain and Italy are also common. Up to 25 exchangestudents apply to the aeronautical program at KTH alone. A curiosity with this increase inincoming students is that there has been no international advertisement of the possibility tostudy aerospace at KTH.

The Swedish membership in the EU has also greatly expanded the job market for Swedishaerospace students. Many KTH graduates are now working at major European aerospace com-panies such as Airbus, EADS and BAE Systems. One obstacle KTH students encounter as theyenter the international employment market is that the Swedish engineering degree (civilingen-jör) is not compatible with the degrees from universities in countries such as France, Germany,Spain and Italy. In some cases, KTH students have had to take extra courses locally to qualifyto the company salary scale used for students with five year degrees. One such example is thecompany EADS-CASA in Madrid which by default considers students with less than a five yeardegree on a scale with students corresponding to the Swedish högskoleingenjör at 120 creditpoints.

The overall aim of the proposed Master’s program in aerospace engineering is to create aprogram mainly for Swedish students and exchange students from the EU with a degree that iscompatible with the degrees offered by the main European countries active in aerospace. Thiswill further strengthen the KTH aerospace education by increasing mobility and compatibilityon the expanding European aerospace employment market.

Proposal details

In the subsequent sections of the present proposal, detailed information is presented concerningthe compliance of the proposal with the given instructions and guidelines [1]. Each sectionrefers to the guidelines using the notation specified in the provided document [1]. The guide-lines [1] are essentially based on the proposed government bill "New world - new university"and references to this document [2, 3] are given when appropriate.

Program start

The official start of the proposed program is the fall of 2007. Assuming that the program isgranted start by the board of KTH, detailed schedule and course development will be performedduring 2006 so that the new courses and the schedule are ready for the program start.

Both the President of KTH, Professor Anders Flodström [4], and the Dean of School of En-gineering Sciences, Professor Gustav Amberg [5], have suggested an earlier start in the fall of2006. The government proposal [2, page 141] also favors procedures for letting students havingstarted a program before July 1st 2007 graduate with the new Master’s degree if so desired.

Consequently, KTH students graduating with a candidate degree in the spring of 2006 willbe given a possibility to graduate with a Master’s degree although the course schedule for 2006-2007 will not be adapted for the program. The compulsory courses will be in place but not allcourses in each group of elective courses.

ECTS credits

A new credit system based on the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) will be adapted assoon as permissible in order to ensure compatibility with other European aerospace educationprograms. The government proposal [2, page 138] favors a new system based on ECTS ratherthan a direct use of the system as it stands today. ECTS grades are already given in some of theaeronautics courses following the developments in the MMT2003 program. ECTS compatiblegrades will be given on all courses in the proposed program.

However, in this document, the traditional Swedish credit point system is used in order toreduce confusion and make comparison with other current programs at KTH easier.

U1. Relation to current education programs at KTH

The proposed Master’s program will be part of the development plan in preparation at the Schoolof Engineering Sciences at KTH [6]. The program is part of a long term effort at the Departmentof Aeronautical and Vehicle Engineering to develop the current programs in aeronautics andlightweight structures and make them fully compatible with similar programs at other Europeanuniversities.

The proposed program is based primarily on the current programs in aeronautics, lightweightstructures and systems engineering. In the short perspective these programs will be maintainedin order to make it possible for students having entered the Swedish civilingenjör program atKTH to graduate with this degree if they so wish. However, due to the highly internationalcharacter of the aerospace sector, it is likely that most students will quickly adapt and prefer aninternationally recognized Master’s degree.

According to the President of KTH, Professor Anders Flodstöm [4], there should be no sig-nificant problems involved in letting the students also receive the Swedish civilingenjör whengraduating from the proposed Master’s program if they satisfy the requirements also for thecivilingenjör degree.

4

The parallel Master’s programs at KTH in Engineering Mechanics, Scientific Computing, andTechnical Acoustics are available for students interested in a deeper specialization focusing ontopics such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), numerical methods for partial differentialequations, fluid and solid mechanics, or acoustics.

U2. Curriculum

The curriculum of the proposed program is based on the current programs (fördjupningar) inaeronautics, lightweight structures and systems engineering. These programs have recently beenrevised and updated to suit the new structure following the MMT2003 development program,which was launched to make it possible for the students to obtain a candidate degree after 3years. These revisions forced the program managers (fördjupningsansvariga) to compress thefinal year studies in order to give room for a 10 credit point project in the third year.

These revisions have made the fourth year very compressed making it highly desirable toadapt the aerospace program to a full 2 year Master’s program at 80 credit points. Due to thesolid base of available courses in the important topics, only a few new courses, and a few minorrevisions of existing courses, are needed in order to create a well balanced Master’s program inaerospace engineering.

Language

The program will be given in English. All documentation and lectures in the current programs(fördjupningar) in aeronautics and lightweight structures have been given in English for almost10 years. This has proven to be useful both for the Swedish and for the exchange studentsin preparing them for working in the aerospace industry where English has been the standardworking language for many years. However, most exchange students tend to take Swedishlessons outside the program even though this is not required.

Most courses in the proposed program are already given in English, but a few courses willneed to be revised in order to change from Swedish to English as a working language.

Basic curriculum

The main objective with the program is to educate skilled engineers for the European aerospaceindustry and research institutions. In order to be attractive on this employment market, a grad-uated student should have:

• good theoretical skills in aerospace modeling, analysis and design

• ability to apply the theoretical skills on real engineering problems

• ability to approach new problem settings in a scientific manner

• some experience of project work and teamwork

• some experience of working in an international environment

• good experience of technical communication

The ambition is to offer a Master’s program that reaches these overall objectives, and the struc-ture of the proposed program is described in the following.

The basic curriculum of the program consists of a set of courses to enhance basic skills(methods of research, mathematical modeling, numerical analysis and optimization) as well asgive an introduction to various aspects of aerospace engineering (aeronautics, space, structuresand systems).

Some courses are PhD level courses to prepare the students for a possible continuation to-wards a doctorate. The listed course on Methods of Research is currently in development at theSchool of Engineering Sciences (SCI). A working group led by Professor Fred Nilsson has beeninitiated by SCI and will define the requirements for and contents of this course.

Optional courses to be selected are grouped together in four different packages representinga further specialization in the direction of either aeronautics, space, structures or systems.

Aeronautics

The purpose of the aeronautics branch of the program is to educate engineers with special skillsin aircraft analysis and design. The learning objectives concern the students ability to performpreliminary design of configuration and systems, and to perform analysis of aerodynamics, flightdynamics and aeroelastics, respectively. A new course on aircraft systems based on suggestionsfrom industry (Airbus and Saab) will also be given. A strong interaction between theory andpractice is a main characteristic of this branch, with extensive elements of wind tunnel testingin the courses. The following set of courses is offered in the aeronautical branch:

Space

The space branch focuses on skills in modeling, control and operation of spacecraft, in particularsmall to medium scale satellites. The space curriculum is new to KTH and is based on thecombined strength of several different departments. The overall learning objectives concernsknowledge and skills in rocket technology, systems integration, the space environment, orbitaldynamics, attitude control and applications of satellite technology.

Structures

The aim of the structures branch is to provide a solid knowledge in the principles and analysis ofweight-efficient, loadcarrying structures. Science and engineering topics are taught, providingthe students with fundamental as well as readily applicable knowledge.

A lightweight structures engineer is familiar with different design concepts and materials,and confident with theory and tools for analysis and development of weight-efficient structures,using both conventional and composite materials. The field of application could be anywherewhere there are high demands on for example stiffness, strength, durability, thermal stability,chemical resistance or insulation, in combination with low structural weight. Awareness ofenvironmental impact, recycling, and aspects of human safety is also part of the education.

The following set of courses defines the structures branch:

Systems

The systems engineering branch will focus on the design of aerospace subsystems and also con-sider operational aspects of aerospace systems. The learning objectives involve to train thestudents in the design and analysis of complex support systems such as flight control systems,hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems and electrical systems that are important in aerospacevehicles. Analysis is based on a modeling and simulation approach and optimization techniquesare used for design. Particular focus is placed on reliability analysis and methods for analyz-ing operational consequences of different failure modes and their effect on system safety andperformance. Operation of aerospace systems is also treated considering models for efficientallocation of spare parts, queuing and inventory theory.

Thesis project

All the students in the program are required to perform an independent study in the form of athesis project. The thesis project gives 20 credit points which is equivalent to the current scopeof the required final project in the current Swedish civilingenjörsexamen.

The purpose with the thesis project is for the student to demonstrate the ability to performindependent project work, using and developing the skills obtained from the previous courses inthe program. The thesis topic can either be a small research project or an advanced engineeringanalysis or design project. The thesis project can either be performed at KTH, at another uni-versity, or at a company in the aerospace sector with suitable infrastructure to provide sufficientsupervision and resources for the project.

U3. Relation to postgraduate education

The program will be well suited for students wishing to continue their graduate studies towardsa doctorate. Several courses in the program are at the PhD level and the multidisciplinarycharacter of the aerospace program will make the students well prepared to continue towards adoctorate in aerospace or in some related topic in applied mechanics.

Most courses are on the advanced level or at the PhD level making it possible to obtain coursecredit up to 40 points for continued studies in a PhD program, as required in the governmentproposal [2]. However, current KTH requirements for PhD studies plans [7] do not reflect thispossibility and still only refer to the current programs at 160 and 180 credit points. The plansfor PhD studies in Aeronautics and Lightweight Structures will be adapted to conform with theproposed Master’s program as soon as the government proposal [2] has passed the parliamentand KTH rules have been updated accordingly.

Part of the preparation for PhD studies is a new course on methods of research. This coursecan be shared with other Master’s programs at SCI and can also be a joint project.

U4. Student recruitment

The programs (fördjupningarna) FLT, LKR and SYS have been among the most popular in theVehicle Engineering program (T) at KTH for a long time. Certain variations have appeared dueto temporary trends in student’s interest but these programs have always recovered afterwards.The student population in the mentioned programs in recent years is shown in Figure 1. Thenumber of (European) exchange students following most of the program is also shown.

Figure 1: Aerospace engineering students at KTH 2002-2005.

The number of exchange students applying to KTH can be expected to increase in the comingyears due to the expanding EU and further increases in requirements of international experienceamong aerospace students in Europe.

The shift to a 3-5-8 system according to the Bologna agreement is currently leading to achange in the traditional Swedish engineering programs (civilingenjör) making it possible forstudents to obtain an intermediate candidate degree after three years of studies. This changewill stimulate the mobility in Sweden at this level. Because of the uniqueness of the aerospaceeducation at KTH, it can be expected that the number of incoming students at the Master’s levelwill increase. Currently, only occasional students from Linköping and Mälardalens Högskolacome to KTH for aerospace education at this level. Considering these developments, one canexpect an increased interest in the aerospace education at KTH in the coming years.

Selection process

The proposed maximum number of students in the program is set to 80 students. Initially, theprogram will be limited to 60 students from Swedish universities and 20 from other EU countriesor the Nordic countries. Students will be admitted based on grades and the suitability of theirprevious degree.

Students from the T and F programs at KTH have a suitable background. Students fromthe M program have to take a few extra courses in mathematics, basic fluid mechanics andcontrol theory in order to fulfill the requirements. Students from the major Swedish technicaluniversities are expected to be qualified on the same premises.

The international students are mainly expected to come from PEGASUS partner universities[8], but other universities with which KTH has exchange agreements in aerospace are alsowelcome to apply. The described recruitment and selection process is illustrated in Figure 2,along with the main career opportunities following the program.

U5. Financial plan

Many KTH students currently taking the aeronautics, lightweight structures, and systems engi-neering programs at KTH can be expected to shift to the proposed program in order to maketheir degree better adapted to the European aerospace employment market. This will result ina modest increase in credit points per student, leading to a corresponding increase in the total

production of credit points (HÅS/HÅP). The additional cost is however well motivated consid-ering the improved situation for the students and the expected benefits for KTH (see SectionU10).

U6. Future development

The proposed program will be well suited to train engineering students and make them attrac-tive for both Swedish and international companies in the aerospace and related sectors. Theshift in industry from being overall systems integrators to becoming developers of subsystemsand subassemblies is very evident in aerospace and is likely to continue and also appear in manyother areas. Increased skills in systems engineering is also required because of the complexityinvolved in developing products for the aerospace market.

The current process of adapting a 3-5-8 system according to the Bologna agreement is gain-ing momentum in Sweden. This is likely to increase the mobility in Sweden, with more studentschanging university after their first degree. Since the aerospace program is unique to KTHone can expect an increase of students coming to KTH at the Master’s level, in particular foraerospace training. The influx of EU students is likely to increase since international experiencebecomes more and more important for the young engineers pursuing an international career inaerospace.

Initially, the program will mainly be based on existing courses using the combined strengthof several departments at KTH with activities related to aerospace. In the future, new courseswill appear as the program develops. In particular the courses in the space curriculum are likelyto develop significantly since an integrated course program here is new to KTH.

U7. Course and program evaluation from a student perspective

It is proposed that the program is coordinated by Docent Dan Borglund, who has managedthe aeronautical program (FLT) since 2002 in a successful manner. Borglund has a formalpedagogical education, has developed and introduced new teaching approaches in the program,and is currently involved in pedagogical development at the Department.

The program will also have an advisory board with representatives from each branch as wellas external members. In particular, Dr. h.c. Sven Grahn, senior vice president of engineering atthe Swedish Space Corporation (Rymdbolaget), is willing to participate as an external member.The board will meet in the beginning, middle and end of each school year, and will focus onissues related to course and program development and evaluation.

The program evaluation will mainly be based on course evaluations by the students. By de-signing the course evaluation form properly, aspects at the program level can also be evaluated.

10

The current program in aeronautics is evaluated in this manner using the learning managementsystem PingPong [9]. The same procedure will be adopted for the proposed program.

U8. International standards and PEGASUS

KTH is a founding member of the European education network PEGASUS (Partnership of a Eu-ropean Group of Aeronautics and Space UniversitieS). PEGASUS [8] interacts with industry andthe European Commission concerning aerospace education in Europe. New members are admit-ted following evaluation according to criteria that are established to define a minimum set ofrequirements in terms of the size of the education program, the number of student exchangesin Europe, the facilities and links to aerospace research at the universities. Currently 25 uni-versities are partners and a few new partners are in the process of being accepted as associatepartners. KTH is the only Swedish university in the PEGASUS network.

Aerospace students graduating from PEGASUS universities can be awarded a PEGASUS cer-tificate to confirm that they have completed an education with a well-defined aerospace curricu-lum. PEGASUS also arranges, in collaboration with the American Institute of Aeronautics andAstronautics (AIAA), a yearly student paper competition at the Master’s level. A KTH student,Marianne Jacobsen, won the aeronautics category (Airbus Award) in 2005 and finished secondoverall, demonstrating the quality of the aeronautical education at KTH. Further, Airbus pointsto PEGASUS universities as their primary recruitment base for aeronautical engineers.

U9. Faculty

The program faculty is mainly based on the current teaching staff at the departments of Aero-nautical and Vehicle Engineering, and Mathematics. Some of the courses are also given by thedepartments of Physics, Mechanics, Solid Mechanics, Computer Science (NADA), Signals Sys-tems and Sensors (S3), and the Alfvén Laboratory. No faculty recruitment is required for theprogram although some junior faculty (forskarassistenter, biträdande lektorer) will need to beupgraded to permanent positions to maintain the program in a longer perspective.

U10. Employment market

The aerospace industry currently sees an approximately 4-5% yearly growth. European aerospaceemploys approximately 400000 and the turnover was 74.6 billion Euro in 2002 (www.aecma.org).However, the sector is highly cyclic which is evident considering the significant influence of 9/11in 2001. The military aerospace business is growing slowly in Europe but this is compensatedby a strong expansion in civil aerospace.

The Swedish government has in a recently published report [10] identified the Swedishaerospace sector as one of a few industry sectors with significant growth potential as well ashaving a strong impact on many other areas in terms of technology transfer.

The Swedish aerospace industry is currently shifting from being a complete systems integra-tor to a role as subcontractor to the large international companies. Saab has split its operationsinto several divisions where Saab Aircraft operates the fleet of regional aircraft, Saab Aerosys-tems produces the Gripen fighter and is responsible for its operational development which willlast for at least another 30 years. Saab has also formed Saab Aerostructures which producessubassemblies to the large international companies.

The shift in emphasis from the military to the civil sector is even more pronounced at VolvoAero Corporation (VAC) were the production of military aircraft engines used to represent 80%

11

of the activities. Today, VAC is a very successful subassembly manufacturer for the large inter-national civil aeroengine manufacturers and is also expanding the business to maintenance andoperations. The trend is that airlines lease thrust and leave the whole process of manufacturing,overhaul and maintenance to companies such as VAC.

The KTH students currently trained in aeronautics, lightweight structures and systems engi-neering are also attractive to many other sectors. Apart from the large automotive manufacturersrepresented by Volvo, Saab, and Scania, there are a large number of small and medium sizedenterprises (SME) that recruit KTH students with aerospace related background.

Airbus is the main European aerospace company in the civil sector but a large part of thework is performed at various subcontractors all over Europe and also worldwide. Swedishsubcontractors include Saab Aerostructures which manufacturers various structural subsystemsboth in metal and composite materials. Volvo Aero Engines on the other hand are involvedwith the major aeroengine manufacturers that supplies the turbofan engines to Airbus. Airbussees itself as a highly international company. English is the corporate language and there is astrong desire to develop the international character of the company. A corporate goal is thateach Airbus facility should have at least 30% non-nationals in the staff. This criterion is met inGermany and the UK, but in Toulouse currently only 3% are non-French meaning that there aresignificant possibilities for international graduates to enter Airbus in France.

The Airbus 380 airliner is currently in flight testing with expected first deliveries to Singa-pore Airlines in 2006. The 380 project is by far Europe’s largest industrial project involvinginvestments in the order of 10 billion Euros. Airbus has just launched the midsize Airbus 350to compete with the new Boeing 787. Boeing and Airbus will also soon need to replace theirsingle-aisle transports, the Boeing 737 and the Airbus 320 family. These aircraft represent themain volume of production for both companies.

All these projects combined means that there is a strong need for new engineers at Airbusand all the subcontractors. Airbus regularly advertises in Swedish press such as Dagens Nyheterand NyTeknik when searching for engineers. In 2003 a delegation from Airbus visited KTH andpresented the opportunities in the company, and more than 200 KTH students participated inthe event. KTH students are highly regarded at Airbus as being well trained with good languageand communication skills.

Government spending in the space sector is increasing with large projects such as the Galileonavigation satellite project. Several large military programs, such as the Dassault Rafale and theEurofighter are also in development requiring their share of aerospace engineers. Consequently,the employment market for European aerospace engineers is currently very strong and willremain to be so for the foreseeable future. The future will require engineers skilled in the newtechnologies needed to develop competitive products for the world-wide aerospace market.

Expected benefits for KTH

An attractive aerospace program is beneficial for many of the related programs in mechanicsand applied mathematics at KTH. Having this program with a very strong and popular brandamong students at the high school level makes it easier to attract talented students to KTH.

The uniqueness of the aerospace program at KTH will also increase the number of incomingstudents from the other Nordic countries and the rest of Europe. Using the combined strengthof KTH this will create a leading aerospace education of international standard.

A final benefit for KTH is the previously mentioned possibility to recruit well prepared PhDstudents in aerospace or other related topics in applied mechanics. It is currently quite commonthat aerospace students continue with their doctorate in a related topic at KTH, and this transferis expected to increase with the proposed program.

Abstract:Spacecraft in Earth orbits are exposed to an environment quite different fromthat encountered on the ground or in the lower atmosphere. This puts certainrequirements on the design of spacecraft systems. Aspects of the spaceenvironment important for spacecraft engineering are discussed in thecourse. These include energetic particles and ionising radiation,micrometeorites, spacecraftplasma interaction and thermal conditions.General principles of spacecraft engineering are overviewed, and two systemsare treated in more detail thermal control and power. Effects of ionisingradiation on electronics and other materials are discussed. The course alsodiscusses typical measuring instruments carried on spacecrafts.

Aim:After the completed course you should:* develop a knowledge of the environments spacecraft may encounter in various orbits around the Earth, and the constraints this places on spacecraft design.* have an understanding of the spacecraft/plasma interaction processes.* have a general understanding of the physics behind the radiation effects on various materials.* know the radiation tolerance ranges for major components, and assess the radiation exposure for a given orbit.* have a basic understanding of operation principles underlying the thermal control system and the power systems in spacecraft.* be able to roughly design the systems for a given orbit.* have understanding of measurements principles in space.

Syllabus:The course consists of lectures and projects covering satellite design and onboardsystems, the space environment, the sun, the magnetosphere, and the radiation belts.Measurements in space and different applications of satellites are also covered.

There will be three projects in the course: power supply system on spacecraft,thermal control system and radiation damage. You will work in groups on theprojects. Each group will concentrate on two projects. The projects areestimated to take about one week each. Each group prepares a written reportand a presentation. The results are presented as a short presentation at aseminar at the end of the course.

One project concerns the design of a power supply system for a spacecraft in agiven orbit. You will work from estimating the power requirements for thespacecraft for a given application. By making some measurements on the actualsolar panel elements and batteries you will design these elements for thespacecraft and design a control system.

Time:Period: 1Lectures: 40hTutorials: 27h

Coordinator:Arne [email protected]790 75 85

Abstract: Performance analysis concerns aspects of flight such as how fast or slow theaeroplane can fly, its range and endurance, required amount of fuel, andmaximum altitude.

4E1236 Experimental Aerodynamics



Coordinator:Ulf [email protected]983 76 53

Abstract: Windtunnel testing is the traditional tool to determine the aerodynamicforces acting on an aircraft. In this course you will perform a number oftests, mainly to compare computational and experimental results when this ispossible, but also to show that experimental methods can be used to determineaerodynamic forces in cases where computational results are inaccurate orimpossible to obtain.

Aim: The aim with course is that you should learn how to plan, conduct, and processdata from wind tunnel tests. You should develop increased understanding ofbasic physical phenomena and their influence on the performance of aircraft.Comparisons between experimental and computational results are used to gainexperience concerning what type of investigations are most suitable for anexperimental approach. After successful completion of the course you should beable to:* decide which type of flight condition that is suitable for windtunnel testing,* process, interpret and compile data from windtunnel testing, * compare and combine computational and experimental aerodynamic data,* explain phenomena like stall, hysteresis, separation and influence from boundary layers.

Syllabus:The course is based on three projects. Each project is initiated by a generallecture on the topic of each project. This is followed by a group exercisewhere initial estimates are made and the actual test is planned. Then followsthe actual wind tunnel test which is performed in small groups. Finally, acomputer lab is performed where the test data is analyzed and processed.

The first project concerns the measurement of static and dynamic pressure,temperature, angle of attack and angle of sideslip. Basic sensorcharacteristics are investigated as well as the uncertainties in themeasurements. The second project involves an investigation of a wingprofile. Measurements are taken of pressure distribution, drag and liftforces. Visualization techniques are used to investigate boundary layereffects and their influence on overall wing profile performance. Finally, thelast project concerns the measurement of integrated forces on a completeaircraft configuration.

4E1237 Flight Mechanics



Coordinator:Carin Cronander [email protected] 070680 05 18

Abstract:Many different types of forces act on an aircraft. Aerodynamics give rise tolift and drag, the engine gives thrust; different control surfaces are used tovary these forces to control the aircraft in flight. Flight mechanics is aboutsimulating the aircraft's motion in the atmosphere and how its configurationaffects stability and control.

Aim:After successful completion of the course you should be able to: * formulate equations of motion for an aircraft in atmospheric flight, * motivate the assumptions made to simplify a flight mechanics problem, * analyze equilibrium and stability for an aircraft, * explain the basic modes of motion and related mechanisms of an aircraft, * design a basic control system using simplified equations of motion, * do simple trajectory calculations by integrating the equations of motion in time, present your results in a well written report.

Syllabus:The course is based on lectures, the contents of which are applied inwindtunnel testing and during computer labs. The exercises are performed ingroups but the results must be presented individually. The first assignment inthe course is a short introduction to Matlab, since the main part of theanalysis is performed in this program. Here you can build your own "toolbox"to use in the successive assignments.

4E1238 Aeroelasticity



Coordinator:Dan [email protected]346 42 41

Abstract:When an aircraft is subjected to aerodynamic forces it deformselastically. The elastic deformation will in turn modify the aerodynamicforces and a socalled aeroelastic interaction arises. At a sufficiently highspeed of flight this interaction can produce instabilities such as wingflutter or divergence, and also reduce the control surfaceefficiency. Aeroelasticity is therefore of vital importance for aircraftsafety, and the aeroelastic behavior must be established for all new ormodified aircraft.

Aim:After successful completion of the course you should be able to: * explain how the aeroelastic phenomena flutter, divergence and aileron reversal arise and how they affect aircraft performance,* use the aeroelastic equations of motion to derive fundamental relations that can be used to perform aeroelastic analysis,* perform a preliminary aeroelastic analysis of a slender wing structure in lowspeed airflow,* motivate the mathematical models on which the analysis is based. Syllabus:A problembased approach is used in the course, where an elastic windtunnelmodel is utilized for learning of aeroelastic phenomena and development ofaeroelastic analysis. Analysis of aeroelastic deformation, divergence, flutterand control surface efficiency is emphasized. Further, a peerlearningapproach is used in order to improve your learning of the subject. Inparticular, you will be part of a student team having the main task to deliverlecture requests.

The technical work can be performed with a learning partner, and mainlyconcerns the development of a Matlab code to perform aeroelastic analysis ofthe windtunnel model. The analysis is based on beam theory for the structuralbehavior and unsteady potential flow for the aerodynamic forces. Theusefulness of the developed analysis is then investigated by comparingnumerical results with experimental results from windtunnel testing. Finally,you are challenged with a small project assignment where a preliminaryaeroelastic analysis of an aircraft wing structure should be performed anddocumented.

Abstract:Aerodynamics is a very central topic in Aeronautics, but is also important indesign of cars, trains, boats and bridges. Aerodynamic properties of anaircraft and its components can in many cases be computed by solving thegoverning differential equations for the flow with numerical methods. Thiscourse covers methods for and applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) in design of aircraft and other vehicles.

Aim:After successful completion of the course you should be able to:* motivate different mathematical models of the flowfield around an aircraft,* use modern CFD methods to compute pressure distributions and aerodynamic forces acting on aircraft, both at low and high speed,* analyze the influence of boundary layers, separated flow, stall, wave drag and shock stall for an aircraft wing,* explain the possibilities and difficulties with using CFD for aerodynamic design of aircraft.

Syllabus:The basic theory used in CFD methods is dealt with during lectures; models forviscous flow, inviscous flow coupled with boundary layer solvers, compressibleand incompressible flow. Properties of the governing partial equations aretreated, as well as numerical methods for solving these.

The theory is then applied in a number of computer labs where you learn how touse CFD software (FLUENT and EDGE). The CFD codes are used to solve a seriesof applied problems in aerodynamics. The labs are performed in cooperationwith others. Guest lectures give insight in industrial applications of CFD, inparticular the interaction between aerodynamics and design of aircraft.

Coordinator:Henrik Alfredsson [email protected] 08790 75 82

Abstract:The course will be based on selected parts of the book by John D. Andersson,Modern Compressible Flow, Mc Graw Hill , 1990, from which may be cited:

"This book deals exclusively with that "marked departure", i.e., it deals withcompressible flows, in which the density is not constant. In modernengineering applications, such flows are the rule rather than the exception. Afew important examples are the internal flows through rocket and gas turbineengines, highspeed subsonic, transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic windtunnels, the external flow over modern airplanes designed to cruise fasterthan 0.3 of the speed of sound, and the flow inside the common internalcombustion reciprocating engine. The purpose of this book is to develop thefundamental concepts of compressible flow, and to illustrate their use."

Aim:Finishing this course the student should know how to:

derive the conservation laws of mass, momentum and energy of inviscid,compressible flow and apply them to various fluid dynamical problems to e.g.

* analyse the interaction of forces between solid boundaries and flowing gases from the basic principles of compressible flow

* analyse the energy conversion process in a flowing gas from the thermodynamic principles of isentropic and irreversible flow respectively

* interpret results from performed experiments demonstrate a physical understanding of the mathematical formulas derived give a physical description of the special effects appearing in hypersonic flows.

Syllabus:For an inviscid, compressible gas the students should be able to:calculate pressure, velocity and temperature for quasi onedimensional,stationary, isentropic flow calculate changes of pressure, velocity andtemperature over normal and oblique shock waves calculate changes of pressure,velocity and temperature in simple expansion waves calculate pressure,velocity and temperature for unsteady, onedimensional, nonlinear wavescalculate the flow field in linear theory for subsonic and supersonic flowaround bodies understand how pressure and drag on a body changes in transsonicflow

Till Dekan och GA på Skolan för Teknikvetenskap 2006-01-20 Bäste Gustav och Mats,

Jag skriver med anledning av förslaget till ”Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering”. Jag är i grunden mycket positiv till detta initiativ och hoppas att programmet kommer till stånd. Emellertid efterlyser jag en djupare diskussion på skolan inför den slutgiltiga utformningen av programmet eftersom verksamheten inom flygteknik området är väsentligt bredare än vad som framgår av det föreslagna Master programmet. Det är dock angeläget att ett program av den här karaktären kommer till stånd så fort som möjligt. Med vänlig hälsning, Dan Henningson Prefekt, KTH Mekanik
