Academic Background

All members of the student group CETAC are students in:

  • Electrical Engineering
  • Engineering Physics
  • Engineering Mathematics
  • Software Engineering
  • Computer Science & Engineering.

at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. CETAC, with 44 years of experience, today consists of about 20 students with at least a Bachelor of Science.

Chalmers University of Technology is ranked in the top ten among technical universities in Europe. A solid education from Chalmers has given CETAC students in-depth knowledge and skills to develop new and improved technology.

 During the first three years the curriculum of the different programmes coincides in many ways. Some of the common courses studied in the first three years include:

  • Mathematical Analysis
  • Linear Algebra
  • Mathematical Statistics
  • Electrical Measurements
  • Electronic Circuits
  • Object Oriented Programming
  • Numerical Analysis
  • Automatic Control
  • Electromagnetic Field Theory

 

Characteristics of each of the four programmes:

Electrical Engineering

THE ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING curriculum prepares the students for fields like electrical power, communication, electronics and computer technology. The students spend about 15 % of their time in the laboratory to obtain experience in handling electric and electronic equipment, including the use of computers. Special courses studied by the students in this programme are:

Fundamentals of Digital Systems and Computers, Environmental and Power Technology, Electronics, Microelectronics, Electric Power Engineering, High Frequency Electronic Waves, Signal Processing, Computer Communication, Partial Differential Equations, etc.

Engineering Physics

THE ENGINEERING PHYSICS curriculum heavily emphasizes the theoretical subjects of mathematics and physics as well as their application. Characteristic for this programme is how the students learn to use mathematics as a tool to solve complex problems in the areas of physics as well as in other fields. There is also a great amount of studies done and documented in the laboratory with minimal aid. Courses special for this programme are for example:

Vector Analysis, Complex and Fourier Analysis, Partial Differential Equations, Mechanics, Statistical Physics and Thermodynamics, Quantum Physics, Solid State Physics, Optics, Subatomic Particle Physics, Electronics, Strength of Materials, Experimental Physics, etc.

Computer Science

THE COMPUTER SCIENCE and Engineering curriculum has been designed to bridge the gap between hardware and software and integrate theory and practice. The graduates will have the necessary knowledge to pursue any specialized area of computer science. Special courses studied by students in this programme are:

Discrete Mathematical Structures, Machine Programming, Data and Program Structures, Theory and Logic Design of Switching Circuits, Programming Languages, Algorithms, Computer System Engineering, Computer Communication, Computer Security, Control Theory, Databases, etc.

Software Engineering

THE SOFTWARE ENGINEERING curriculum emphasizes on software development and communication. This programme gives a comprehensive view of the software development area and the students learn how to become efficient problem solvers. Special courses studied by the students in this programme are:

Fundamentals of Digital Systems and Computers, Discrete mathematics, Human – Computer Interaction, Machine Oriented Programming, Data Structures and Algorithms, Databases, Computer Communication, Algorithms, Object Oriented System Development, etc.
