KTH Royal Institute of Technology

University is like moving through deep snow. It's a struggle, but then you turn around and see how far you've gotten.

I am studying Electrical Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. I have now completed the first part of my studies and taken my BSc degree. In the fall of 2021 I will start the next, and final, part of my 5 year program.

What is Electrical Engineering at KTH?

It is not always clear what Electrical Engineering as an education may enfold. However, at KTH it is fairly simple. In this program we students learn everything electrical from transistor-level circuit design to power networks technology, and all the electrophysics in between. Since Electrical Engineering is kindred to Computer Science there is also included a heavy element of programming.

Some subjects in this education:

School is about working together

If it is something I've learnt in project courses with fast-approaching deadlines or assignments with impossible problems, is that nothing beats teamwork!

​Just like when in deep snow, it's good if you are with friends so that you can help each other. When you face difficult integrals, hard-to-understand physics or a program which refuses to compile, then it is (I dare say) necessary to have friends that is there to give a hand, and vice versa!

Teaching. The best thing ever.

One of the most fun things I've gotten to do is to teach! In a course where the students are to build a computer from the smallest logical gates up to implementing an (admittedly simple) operating system, I've been lucky to be a Teaching Assistant (TA). In my assignments as a TA I've had to lecture and hold consultations for students needing help. While I have been in this role, the course have had up to 150 enrolled students.

​The best thing with teaching is that you can shine some light on a problem. Help someone who is almost there. To give them a little direction, just enough for them to find their way through. And in that process, you find that you yourself has also learnt something. Being a TA has not only allowed me to help others, but also been very educational for me as well.

The projects in this course includes:
